Gender Trouble
Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
Book • 2006
In 'Gender Trouble,' Judith Butler challenges traditional notions of gender and sex, arguing that gender is not an innate or natural aspect of human identity but rather a social construct that is performed and reinforced through societal norms and behaviors.
Butler distinguishes between sex, which refers to biological traits, and gender, which is a constructed category.
She introduces the concept of 'performativity,' suggesting that gender is created through repeated actions and performances.
The book critiques the binary gender system and explores how non-normative sexual practices and identities can subvert and challenge traditional gender categories.
Butler's work has been influential in feminist theory, queer theory, and LGBTQ activism, and continues to be a foundational text in gender studies.
