Abstract

Subordinating the body to the concept of gender in the process of recognizing of one’s own picture in the place of the subject is the main condition of the subjectivity itself. As the gender concept is already presupposed in the structure of language in which the subject recognizes itself, a carnal body is veiled by the textual body which actively performs the gender making it “real” in the linguistic and cultural space. By following the theoretical lines of difference feminisms, this paper particularly focuses on the phenomenon of genderness – especially female genderness as the place of difference, researching the potentials of theoretically performing the female body and gender in the context of mapping the potential space for innovation, intervention and transgression of the dominant system.
