In Frames of War, Judith Butler explores the medias portrayal of state violence, a process integral to the way in which the West wages modern war. This portrayal has saturated our understanding of human life, and has led to the exploitation and abandonment of whole peoples, who are cast as existential threats rather than as living populations in need of protection. These people are framed as already lost, to imprisonment, unemployment and starvation, and can easily be dismissed. In the twisted logic that rationalizes their deaths, the loss of such populations is deemed necessary to protect the lives of the living. This disparity, Butler argues, has profound implications for why and when we feel horror, outrage, guilt, loss and righteous indifference, both in the context of war and, increasingly, everyday life.This book discerns the resistance to the frames of war in the context of the images from Abu Ghraib, the poetry from Guantanamo, recent European policy on immigration and Islam, and debates on normativity and nonviolence. In this urgent response to ever more dominant methods of coercion, violence and racism, Butler calls for a reconceptualization of the Left, one that brokers cultural difference and cultivates resistance to the illegitimate and arbitrary effects of state violence and its vicissitudes.

'When Is Life Grievable?' opens up challenging discussions that are necessary in today's world. I found the radical thinkers in this book really pushed my understanding of grief and social justice. The essays are well-written and thought-provoking, making it hard to put down!

Great Insights, but a Bit Dense
This collection offers some really powerful ideas, but I felt some essays were harder to digest than others. It's not a light read, which is fine, but it took longer than I expected to finish it. Overall, it's worth the effort if you're into deep, radical thoughts.
