My work concentrates on gender roles in society. My argument branches off from some Judith Butler’s idea in her book Gender Trouble. Judith Butler is an American philosopher and gender theorist whose work has influenced the way we think about gender today. In Gender Trouble, she questions the essentialized relationship between sex, being the anatomy, and gender, asserting that they are a socially constructed performance. The performance of gender is an unconscious choice based on anticipated ideas of gender, and marked repetitive behaviors. The exhibition of gender is a social and semiotic performance rather than a natural expression of something innate.Accessibility Statement
