Inhalt
In »Bodies That Matter«, renowned theorist and philosopher Judith Butler argues that theories of gender need to return to the most »material« dimension of sex and sexuality: the body. Butler offers a reworking of the body, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the »matter« of bodies, sex, and gender. Butler argues that power operates to constrain »sex« from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She offers a clarification of the notion of »performativity« introduced in »Gender Trouble« and explores the meaning of citational politics. The text includes readings of Plato, Irigaray, Lacan, and Freud on the formation of materiality and bodily boundaries; »Paris is Burning«, Nella Larsen's »Passing«, and short stories by Willa Cather; along with a reconsideration of »performativity« and politics in feminist, queer, and radical democratic theory.
