Por una crítica feminista y queer del sistema sexo/género: Judith Jutler problematizando a Gayle Rubin

Resumen

The thought of anthropologist Gayle Rubin is of utmost importance to Judith Butler; this is because much of Butler's critique of heteronormativity in psychoanalysis is drawn from the theory presented in The Traffic in Women. Furthermore, Rubin is responsible for the analysis of the category "woman" as being the result of kinship relations that benefit and are constructed by men. Nonetheless, despite her unquestionable contributions, Rubin's notion of a "natural sex," which precedes law, appears utopian, often disregarding the fact that the sex/gender system is constructed through performative acts. Our interest in this work is to explore the problematization raised by Butler, based on Rubin's reflections on psychoanalysis and the sex/gender systems, highlighting the points that unite and those that distinguish the two authors, both of whom are fundamental to the development of many contemporary queer and feminist theories.
