[lbo-talk] Naturally organized sociality and symbolically organized sociality

[wrobert at uci.edu]

Because that's what Levi-Strauss is arguing, and when you engage in the
argument that there is this kind of social symbolic, whether through
Levi-Strauss or through Lacan, you are pointing to this kind of argument. 
The feminist argument (the tradition that comes out of Rubin) has
consistently argued that this naturalization is in fact a way of
naturalizing certain social structures of power.  This isn't originated
with Butler, but it is continued in her work (while being critiqued and
examined itself.  For this work look at the Wellek lectures, Antigone's
Claim, which has the longest engagement with the argument in her work.)
