Deepening the inquiries she began in Gender Trouble, Butler offers an original reformulation of the materiality of bodies, examining how the power of heterosexual hegemony forms the ``matter'' of bodies, sex, and gender. Butler argues that power operates to constrain ``sex'' from the start, delimiting what counts as a viable sex. She offers a clarification of the notion of ``performativity'' introduced in Gender Trouble and explores the meaning of a citational politics. The text includes readings of Plato, Irigaray, Lacan, and Freud on the formation of materiality and bodily boundaries; ``Paris is Burning,'' Nella Larsen's ``Passing,'' and short stories by Willa Cather; along with a reconsideration of ``performativity'' and politics in feminist, queer, and radical democratic theory. 471897 20 10 1993 Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of Sex total:354|5:138|4:126|3:71|2:15|1:4| 354 1441 573 16 2 0 false false Wed Nov 19 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 12:00:45 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 12:05:43 -0800 2008
