REVISION NOTES

Judith Butler:

“Our bodies or sex do not define our gendered identities” – We do not have to conform to society’s demands of being masculine or feminine.

“Our gender identities are not fixed objects; they are constituted as a result of our behaviors” – Our identity will change depending on the situation we are in eg. a spending time with family and friends compared to a funeral

“Our genders are culturally rather naturally formed” – Society influences and interacts with the audience which changes people’s behavior.

David Gauntlet:

“Gender is socially constructed” – The way that both genders behaviors change is naturally reoccurring.

“Audiences realise they can change their identities” – They can be whoever they choose to be

“30 second glimpses of who we might become”– Suggests our identity could change overtime
