One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial.
Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reiterated social performance rather than the expression of a prior reality.
Thrilling and provocative, few other academic works have roused passions to the same extent.

我成长的过程对性别规范的暴力有所体会:一位叔叔因为他解剖上不正常的身体而受到监禁,被剥夺了亲人与朋友,在堪萨斯大草原上的一所“收容所”度过余生;同性恋表亲因为他们的性倾向——不管是真的还是想象的——而被迫离家;我自己16岁那年的出柜风暴;以及后来成年生活里,遭遇失掉工作、爱人、家庭的景况。这些都让我遭受了严厉而足以带来创伤的谴责,所幸它们并没能阻止我去追寻乐趣,以及坚持为自己的性/别生活寻求合法的承认。正因为性别在被暴力地管控的同时,它也如此被当作是理所当然的,因此要使这样的暴力进入大众的视野很困难。它不是被认定为生理性别的一个自然展现,就是被认定为一种文化上恒常不变的事物,没有人为的力量能够改变它。……这本书展现的顽强的使性别“去自然化”的努力,是来自一种强烈的欲望:对抗理想性别形态学(morphologies of sex)所意味的规范暴力,同时根除一般以及学术性欲话语所充斥的那些普遍存在的自然的、理当如是的异性恋假设。 (查看原文)

相较于一年前读过的令人费解的中译本,原文本反而是更好读的,至少不会认为Butler是在说梦话(微笑,搞翻译的同志们要努力呀)但这仍然是很有难度的一个文本,纯粹的哲学思辨,晦涩的jargons以及大篇幅的文献综述理解起来都很吃力。越来越觉得知识谱系的重要性,不了解这个文本的“前文本”和语境是真的很难理解Butler的关切点,过段时间还是要再回看。很有意思的是,Butler在前言解释了为什么这本书写的... 相较于一年前读过的令人费解的中译本,原文本反而是更好读的,至少不会认为Butler是在说梦话(微笑,搞翻译的同志们要努力呀)但这仍然是很有难度的一个文本,纯粹的哲学思辨,晦涩的jargons以及大篇幅的文献综述理解起来都很吃力。越来越觉得知识谱系的重要性,不了解这个文本的“前文本”和语境是真的很难理解Butler的关切点,过段时间还是要再回看。很有意思的是,Butler在前言解释了为什么这本书写的这么晦涩,大概就是“我谈的问题本身就复杂我自然要用复杂的语言来讲”对此我觉得大可不必,朴素的我始终认为把复杂的东西讲的很简单反而是真功夫,尤其是这样一个关切人本身的话题更没有必要束之学术高阁。 (展开)

这位的观点确实也接触过,但是没想到学术语言竟然这么难懂,大量的长句,大量奇怪的re,dis之类的词,时间长了根本分不清逻辑。坚持看下去之后有的地方确实能看懂,因为这作者真的很能重复。可能学术语言就是这样的吧,得设置比较高的门槛。看完这本我需要找个小说轻松下我的大脑,真的看的头疼,很久没有这种难受的体验了。作者的观点并不难懂,没有所谓固定的性别,一切都不过是重复的外在表现,而且还是在二元世界异性恋霸... 这位的观点确实也接触过,但是没想到学术语言竟然这么难懂,大量的长句,大量奇怪的re,dis之类的词,时间长了根本分不清逻辑。坚持看下去之后有的地方确实能看懂,因为这作者真的很能重复。可能学术语言就是这样的吧,得设置比较高的门槛。看完这本我需要找个小说轻松下我的大脑,真的看的头疼,很久没有这种难受的体验了。作者的观点并不难懂,没有所谓固定的性别,一切都不过是重复的外在表现,而且还是在二元世界异性恋霸权的规训下,作者是希望女性这个词包含的范围能更加扩大。 (展开)

大概读懂四成吧。跟Butler比起来,Foucault真是太好读了。然后我的理论向导告诉我,这本算是Butler早期比较说人话的。

Butler预设了在话语对身体进行结构之前,sex, sexuality, gender之间是混乱的,从而违背了她自身的原则 2. 在Rutledge的"Judith Butler" 一书当中,作者质疑Butler的悲伤结构 (展开)
