Apart from a too lengthy engagement w/ Susan Sontag on photography (which might better have been excerpted in an anthology or special issue dedicated to ethics and photography), Frames of War for the most part advances only very incrementally points already made in Precarious Life, which really should have just been redone in a substantially revised and expanded form. Este libro explora la manera en que el liderazgo bélico de EEUU ha impuesto una distinción entre aquellas vidas que merecen ser lloradas y aquéllas que no. Butler muestra que esta distinción, presentada a través de formas de comunicación que se han convertido en parte de la guerra misma, ha conducido al primer mundo a la destrucción y abandono de poblaciones que no se ajustan a la norma occidental imperante de lo humano. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

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 non-violence. In this urgent response to ever more dominant methods of coercion, violence and racism, Butler calls for a re-conceptualization of the Left, one that brokers cultural difference and cultivates resistance to the illegitimate and arbitrary effects of state violence and its vicissitudes.

Uma vida específica só pode ser considerada lesada ou perdida se, primeiro, for considerada viva. “Se certas vidas não são qualificadas como vidas ou se, desde o começo, não são concebíveis como vidas de acordo com certos enquadramentos epistemológicos, então essas vidas nunca serão vividas nem perdidas no sentido pleno dessas palavras”.
