Will the Real Judith Butler Please Stand Up?* – On interacting with an audience

What is going on in the realm between the speaker and the audience? In this text a study is made of the intricate play between the speaker and the audience in a specific situation. The performance studied is chosen from a clip on Youtube in which the famous gender theorist Judith Butler addresses the audience/participants at a gathering with Occupy Wall Street in 2011. The purpose in this text is to use phenomenological methodology to understand what is happening in this video clip. The assumption is made that Butler's speech and the audience repeating her words is about interaction.
