The idea that identity is not fixed and does not determine who we are.
Judith Butler
Argues that sex (male or
female) is seen to cause gender
(masculine or feminine) which is
then seen to cause desire
(towards the other gender)
Biological Determinism
Michel Foucault
people do not have
a real identity,
instead it is a
discourse they use
to talk about
themselves. An
identity is
communicated by
interaction but its
not fixed and is
constantly shifting.
