Weak Action : Butler as a Reader of Levinas and Arendt

Original language description

The notion of &quot;weak action&quot; is developed in this paper in an attempt to overcome the schism between the action of a free political subject on the one hand, and their dependency on the support of others and the environment on the other. This paper focuses foremost on Judith Butler&apos;s later work raising two different questions. First, following Butler and her critical reading of Levinas, the problem is raised how and at what price the ethics of vulnerability would be able to become not only the source of a critique of politics, but also the source of a concrete political action. Second, through Butler&apos;s reinterpretation of Arendt&apos;s political thinking, the notion of &quot;action&quot; is enriched by the dimension of vulnerability.
