thank you for the comment. generally faculty members and visiting faculty at european graduate school discuss their work but also bleeding edge, brand new ideas, so i am assuming, that the presentation will be/is included in one of her recent/upcoming books.

@egsvideo I like the term bleeding edge :)

Does anyone know if this text is published somewhere? And if so, where?

Butler has a new book out called "Frames of War." It's about the ethics and rhetoric of war, particularly the Iraq War. I don't know if she'd touches on the Holocaust. I can't find anything by Butler before that but gender studies...

@cyranothe2nd: Yeah, I read it and she does come across the topic sometimes, but not as extensive as she does in the paper she presents in this video. She recently gave a lecture in my own country (The Netherlands) where she continues to grapple with Arendt's thought so I assume she will publish it at some point in a new collection of essays (I hope).
