Resumen de La humanidad como criterio normativo en la obra de Judith Butler

• español

  Este artículo aborda la contextualización de la ética de Butler en un marco teórico que da por supuesta la perspectiva deconstructiva y que, por su parte, es reconstruido de acuerdo a dos criterios, las nociones de “matriz disciplinal” y de “paradigma”. Mediante ellas se trata de proporcionar un sistema de conceptos o categorías usuales en la teoría ética en general, pero redefinidas en términos butlerianos.

  This paper approaches the contextualization of Butler’s ethics in a theoretical framework that assumes the deconstructive perspective. It is reconstructed according to two criteria: the notions of “disciplinary matrix” and “paradigm”. Through them, it is a question of establishing a system of concepts or categories usual in ethical theory, in general, but redefined in butlerian terms. These categories to which I refer are action, subjects, judgements, and moral criteria. If we apply them to Butler’s ethic, it leads to a precarious ethic in which normative humanity would be impossible and, therefore, it cannot be used as a ground of a universal moral judgement. For instance, the precarious ethic suggested throughout the mourning for our people, victims of violence, from which is structurally excluded the humanity of the Others.
