Universalizing a Minority Point of View Judith Butler a minority writer is effective only if it succeeds in making the minority point of view universal. Perhaps there is something called, for instance, a lesbian point of view, that in being universalized is being legislated to everyone. The consequence would not be that everyone is henceforth a lesbian, or even that everyone is hence forth lesbianized â whatever that might mean. The task is, rather, to establish a minority point of view that can sustain or bear a universal perspective. Of course, it is not immediately clear in what this universal perspective might consist and what it means to âbearâ it, but let us consider for a moment how this works, if it works. There are, of course, traditions within philosophy that call for a posi tion characterized as a concrete universal (Hegel) or a singular universal (Kier kegaard), and these seem to suggest only that the subject is at once situated and generalized, and that a dual perspective is occasioned as a consequence. Some times the dual perspective can be occupied without conflict, as is eventually the case with Hegel, but sometimes it is lived as a contradiction
