Bodies That Matter by Judith Butler

Bodies That Matter by Judith Butler

Butler's follow-up to Gender Trouble answers the most common criticism of that book — that treating gender as performative seemed to leave the material body out of the picture entirely.

Here Butler argues that sex itself is not a natural fact prior to discourse but is materialised through repeated regulatory norms, and works through Plato, psychoanalysis, and readings of Paris Is Burning and Nella Larsen to show how bodies come to matter — both signify and be treated as significant — through the same processes.

A foundational text of gender theory, dense and rigorous, essential for students of the field.
