5 Replies to “Gender Trouble – Judith Butler”

1. I never heard of Judith Butler before but your presentation taught me a lot about her and what her book is about. The video was really helpful with breaking down her information. This was a excellent presentation.

   1. Yes, I agree with you as the presentation came up with many gender identity terms and really well organized details about the author.

2. This presentation was very informative and I like how you highlighted and expounded on sections from the reading.

3. You cited quotes from certain parts of the book and keep through showing the order of the book with the what each part meaning. I like your connection with gender trouble, feminism you made. Responding to your question 1, I would say that Judith Butler did claim that gender is a performance. According to Butler’s theory, sexual orientation is basically a performative repetition of acts related with male or female. Consistently with her acknowledgment of the body as a historical idea, she proposes that our idea of sex is viewed as characteristic or natural in light of the fact that the body turns into its sex through a progression of acts which are reestablished, and merged through time.

4. Really informative and well put together presentation! Judith Butler’s belief on gender being performative was explained in a really detailed way.
