Abstract
This paper takes up the question of the "human" as Butler discusses this in its relation to "intelligibility," "critique," "the opacity of the subject" and "dispossession." I believe that Butler's perspective helps us not only to understand the terms of dehumanization but also offers ways of conceptualizing a more humane world. I argue that a major concern for Butler is a sort of humanism arising from the awareness of the primordial relationality of our existence and of our lives, which we pursue in a primary sociality as interdependent embodied beings.
