Following is the skeleton for this essay assigned text: Judith Butler's Gender trouble thesis: the society is falsely naturalizing one’s “outer” appearance and “inner” essence as a unity for regulating and upholding the heterosexual matrix. I will use the drag culture as an example to demonstrate how this is problematic and how drag culture is mocking this idea. outline: basically describe a bit about drag culture (quote butler in the way) - how it dramatises appearance - how the 3 components differ - how these 3 components do not match up - use real life example (media article) discuss butler’s idea of performativity - how drag reveals the imitative structure of gender - discuss its definition - how performativity makes us naturalise the idea of gender - and this is problematic - use other academic articles about constructive nature of gender to support that Purposes of constructing nature and how drag mocks this - heterosexual matrix in society - reproductive purposes - intelligenible, coherent society - too many different sexualities difficult to find one normative way to include all - discuss the philosphical importance and meaning of having “norms” - can we live without norms then? what is its purpose? (for example, without norms the society will be in chaos etc…in a practical sense) - drag mocks this constructivism through dramatising it (try to find one more academic article that discusses only about drag culture here ) conclusion
