When Butler critically intervenes in feminist debates with Gender Trouble (1990), the very title programmatically announces their presence on the critical scene as a disruptive agent. Making trouble, disobeying the paths of identification already carved out by Western philosophy is a fundamental operation for Butler, precisely because Western feminism seems to inherit its same dichotomous and suffocating processes of identity formation. In this essay, I propose a reading of Butler that questions the dichotomies of gender/sex and nature/culture, which are central to feminist debates on identity. I show how these boundaries are phantasmatic sites and argue that reconfiguring them as a continuum and a process – that is, as gendersex and natureculture – allows us to better grasp the complexities of identity formation processes.
Keywords: Butler, identity boundaries, feminisms, gendersex, natureculture
