走向日常生活批判的操演理论

Performativity Theory:Toward a Critique of Everyday Life

性别操演理论是朱迪斯·巴特勒的核心思想,它集中论述了性与性别的相关问题。21世纪初,操演理论显示了政治转向,从对性别身份问题研究转向了关注身处政治困境中的"他者",从单一主体性别身份解构延伸到对"他者"生存策略的解构。在此转向基础之上,本文欲从普遍的"人"的诉求为出发点,探讨操演理论对日常生活的批判和救赎。

Gender performativity, as Judith Butler＇s core concept, focuses on issues related to sex and sexuality. At the very beginning of the 21 st century, a political turn occurs in performativity theory, changing its priority from abstract issues of sex, gender and identity to the real Others in a troubling political dilemma. Now it aims to deconstruct the living strategy of the Others rather than an individual subject＇s gender identity. Following the political turn, this essay takes universal ＂human＂ appeal as a starting point to plumb the potential of performativity theory as a critique of everyday life.
