GENDER PERFORMATIVITY - JUDITH BUTLER

-
KEY IDEAS: // Gender is created in how we perform our gender roles - there is no essential gender identity behind these roles, it is created in the performance. // Performativity is not a singular act but a repetition and a ritual that becomes naturalised within the body. // Any feminism concerned only with masculinity and femininity excludes other forms of gender and sexuality. // This creates 'gender trouble' for those who don't fit heterosexual norms. // Butler is an important postmodern writer and has influenced queer theory - theory which deconstructs and aims to destabilise apparently fixed identities based on gender and sexualities.
