La formation du sujet dans la philosophie féministe de Judith Butler

Dans Trouble dans le genre, Judith Butler conteste l’aspect identitaire du féminisme, qui selon elle produirait de nouvelles possibilités d’exclusion, basées sur la catégorie même de « femme ». Je ne contesterai pas le mouvement qu’elle adopte, à savoir que la sexualité informe du genre, qui produit le sexe, bien que j’exposerai les difficultés que cela soulève. Mon intérêt se situe dans la vision que Butler a de la formation des sujets individuels et de leur rattachement à des identités collectives, via la performativité du genre. Sa position voulant que le genre soit un acte et l’identité une pratique, je vais expliquer comment elle conçoit l’humain constitué par ses actes et critiquer, avec deux auteures féministes, sa conception du genre. J’en conclurai que Butler doit admettre qu’une forme d’identité féminine soit nécessaire au féminisme tout en tenant compte de son plaidoyer d’inclusion des individus aux sexualités marginales.

Poder, sexualidad y ética: el uso de Foucault en la obra de Judith Butler

El siguiente texto rastrea el uso del pensamiento de Foucault en las principales obras de Judith Butler. En ese sentido, no se abarca una exposición sistemática y exhaustiva de la obra de Butler o de las lecturas y críticas feministas que se han realizado del análisis foucaultiano. Este escrito es una indagación de la matriz foucaultiana en Butler, cuestionándose ¿qué impacto genera la obra de Foucault en el pensamiento de Butler? ¿Continúa Butler el “proyecto” foucaultiano? ¿En qué aspectos se asocian y en cuáles se distancian ambos autores? Sin duda, Judith Butler a lo largo de sus textos retoma y reelabora, comparte y se distancia del pensamiento foucaultiano. En no pocas ocasiones sus textos se dedican a entablar un diálogo, incluso, existen puntos de encuentro entre los temas profundos que estudian ambos como lo son la cuestión del poder, la sexualidad y, en la última etapa de los dos, un giro ético.
