Sumario:This article intends to follow the initial proposal of Judith Butler in Gender Trouble, that gender is not either an essence or a social construct, but a production of power. Taking feminism as a theme to initially discuss the identity, we see her question to expand to genre in general and get to the notion of subject. From the genealogical critique of Michel Foucault and his notion of power, Butler intends to perform a critique of identity categories and, specifically, identity as the basis of feminist political action.
