summary:

*Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of Sex* by Judith Butler expands on her groundbreaking ideas from *Gender Trouble*, focusing on how power structures shape the materiality of bodies, sex, and gender. In this work, Butler argues that societal norms and the dominance of heterosexual hegemony govern what is considered a viable sex and gender. She refines the concept of "performativity," explaining how gender identity is not innate but rather constructed through repeated social performances. Drawing on philosophy, psychoanalysis, and literature, Butler engages with thinkers like Freud, Plato, and Irigaray to explore the intersections of bodies, identity, and cultural norms.
