Wprowadzenie

Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity was published by Routledge in 1990. Butler questions the feminist assumption that “women” form a stable subject whose interests politics represents, and the distinction between biological sex and cultural gender: sex, too, is shaped by discourse. Gender is not an inner essence that finds expression but is produced by the repeated performance of norms within a “heterosexual matrix”. Drag, which parodies these norms, shows that the supposed original is itself an imitation. The book became a founding text of queer theory; its difficult style also drew criticism, and Butler clarified the notion of performativity in Bodies That Matter (1993).
