Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity by Judith Butler
4.0
main takeaways being:
- knowing a lot more about psychoanalysis and lacanian stuff
- knowing a lot more about previous feminist theories
- a bit a bout performativity of gender
tbh i think butler's take on the idea of gender identity is rather brutal and it's obviously very subversive, but i just feel like there's too much critique on other people's previous work instead of a great deal about her idea of what gender identity should be about and based on. it feels constrained by its own discourse in a way, which is ironic as well. but then, it's totally a valid and great theory.
