      abstract = {This book contextualises philosophy by bringing Judith  Butler's critique of identity into dialogue with an  analysis of the transgressive self in dramatic literature.  The author draws on Butler's reflections on human agency  and subjectivity to offer a fresh perspective for  understanding the political and ethical stakes of identity  as formed within a complex web of relations with human and  non-human others. The book first positions a detailed  analysis of Butler's theory of subject formation within a  broader framework of feminist philosophy and then  incorporates examples and case studies from dramatic  literature to argue that the subject is formed in relation  to external forces, yet within its formation lies a space  for transgressing the same environments and relations that  condition the subjects existence. By virtue of a  fundamental dependency on conditions and relations that  bring human beings into existence, they emerge as political  and ethical agents capable of resisting the formative  forces of power and responding - ethically - to the call of  others.},
