Alternative title:The ambivalence of human life. The corporeal materialization and the ontology of vulnerability in Judith Butler’s thought
Abstract
The present work is aimed at establishing a conceptual correspondence between the notions of body and corporal materialization proposed by Judith Butler, until they converge on the theoretical core of that concept the philosopher designates as «common human vulnerability». In what way do we think of human life? What value do we have to give life, without turning and ontologically transforming it into something essential? These questions will trigger the following reflexions.
