Performative Cross-genderings and Disciplinary Border-crossings
Performative Cross-genderings and Disciplinary Border-crossings

Summary/Abstract: The interest in the "third gender" collides with the theoretical approach to gender as a performative construction, often blurring not only the borders between the two sex-gender poles, but also between disciplines called upon to theorize the sexual criss- -crossings. The paper questions one of such border-crossings, the one between theatre and feminist theory, since "performance" and "performative" derive principally from the already hybrid field of Schechner's performance theory.
