Abstract: In recent years, Judith Butler, an American scholar, has become famous for her shocking study on gender. After that, she focused on the question about “how the body formed”, and turned her study to bio-politics centering on body. She gradually becomes interested in radical democracy. This article shows how Butler uses her radical democracy political strategies to find solutions to survival problems of marginal groups. Through her criticism of normative violence, Butler tries to expand the boundary of democracy by cultural translation, and fight for the social acknowledgment of marginal groups.

Key words: Judith Butler, gender, body theory, bio-politics, radical democracy
