DEMETRI, Felipe Dutra    TONELI, Maria Juracy Filgueiras. Performativity against precariousness: the modulations of the political subject in the work of Judith Butler. []. , 17, 39, pp.318-326. ISSN 1519-549X.

We aim to present the different modalities in which the political subject is approached throughout the work of the American philosopher Judith Butler, and what are the different modalities of resistance and subversion. In this sense, we divide the text into two parts: the first explains of the initial works of Butler, period in which the author conceives gender from the perspective of performativity. The second part deals with the most recent works of the philosopher, in which she problematized issues such as ethics, recognition and distribution of precariousness. For the author it is possible to find political agency even in those actors often considered as "excluded". Finally, we underline the recent options of the philosopher, who suggests a politics of coalitions.
