 | | Butler wants to understand gendered subjectivity "as a history of identifications, parts of which can be brought into play in given contexts and which, precisely because they encode the contingencies of personal history, do not always point back to an internal coherence of any kind" (331). |
 | | Gender, then, as the identification with one sex, or one object (like the mother) is a fantasy, a set of internalized images, and not a set of properties governed by the body and its organ configuration. |
 | | Gender, Butler concludes, is thus not a primary category, but an attribute, a set of secondary narrative effects. |
