Welcome to the 4th episode of Gender Trouble, the podcast where we dive deep into Judith Butler’s seminal work, Gender Trouble—a radical rethinking of feminism, identity, and the very meaning of gender.
In this episode, we explore Section 3: Subversive Bodily Acts (pp. 101–180), where Butler develops her influential theory of gender performativity. We examine how gender is not something we are, but something we enact—repeatedly, through stylized acts, gestures, and behaviors that create the illusion of a stable identity.
Drawing from phenomenology, feminist theory, and queer performance, Butler challenges the idea of a naturalized gendered body and opens up new possibilities for resistance. From the politics of drag to the instability of identity itself, we look at how performance can expose the constructed nature of gender—and subvert it.
