Deshacer el género

Revisiting her reflections on performativity presented in Gender Trouble, in this work Judith Butler continues to analyze the concepts of gender and sexuality, focusing on the "new politics of gender." In Undoing Gender, Butler examines new kinship, psychoanalysis and the incest taboo, transgender identity, intersex issues, diagnostic categories, social violence, the work of social transformation, and their complex relationships with feminist and queer theory. She argues that the critique of gender norms clearly lies within the framework of human tenacity and survival, since "doing" one's own gender sometimes requires "undoing" dominant notions of personhood.
