Document Summary

Concepts used by butler: breaking/exceeding the frame, right to life versus livable life. I/other and survivability/impermeability: ontology - describes being. Butler is thinking more of the social ontology. It is important to think about because it has to do with being human. We are socially constructed right from the start: affect - about feeling. This question of who we are and how we are dependent on one another brings up feelings. One of the rudimentary aspects of being human is being born with these affects. A lot of what we are doing in the world is negotiating these feelings that have to do with survivability. Effects of loss, aggression, shame and guilt come up and we might not even know we are having it. There are also social affects that tells us how to feel. For example, don"t feel for those people in the middle east because they"re not people anyways. They tell us who to be scared of.
