Judith Butler on Body - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 745
Body/Gender/Butler: Butler has worked out the concept of the performativity of gender. Therefore, she questions those theories that locate both subversion and "sex" in the body. In these theories the body is simultaneously given as biological and shaped by education.
ButlerVs: this repeats the contradiction to read "gender" as a powerful social identity category of bodies.
Butler: Question: can bodies and discursive actions also be used in acts of subversion of their arrangement?(1)
