She has also featured as a public intellectual deploring interpersonal and state-sponsored violence, taking considerable risks in the immediate post-9\/11 American context and with the on-going militarised occupations in Israel-Palestine. Her work has had considerable traction in the former area, but relatively little in the latter. Why is this? I suggest that there is not very much queering in Butler\u2019s political work on violence, whereas a queered view of that work \u2013 offered here \u2013 could take Freud and Nietzsche where Donald Trump fears to tread.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terrell Carver<\/strong> is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Bristol, UK, and co-author (with Samuel Chambers) of the book <em>Butler and Political Theory <\/em>(2009).
