    Abstract

    This e-special issue of Theory, Culture & Society presents works published by and about US philosopher and activist Judith Butler (1956). Judith Butler is Distinguished Scholar at the Graduate School, University of California, Berkeley. They contributed to Theory, Culture & Society and inspired key debates and scholarship around their work. k Gender Trouble (1989) transformed our understanding of gender, influencing generations of academics, activists, and cultural producers since. Butler is an exceptional thinker who aims to build more inclusive and sustainable societies through their writing. Their writings influenced numerous fields, e.g., sociology, gender studies, politics, and the arts. The editorial introduction juxtaposes earlier and subsequent writings by Butler in order to encourage a wider reading of their work. Drawing upon the full catalogue of Theory, Culture & Society, and Body & Society the collection includes articles published by Butler, interviews with them, a book review, and articles about their work.
