- Abstract
- Abstract
This composition is an analysis of the British writer Jeanette Winterson's novel Sexing the Cherry. My interpretation originates from the tradition of feminist literary criticism and my purpose is to read the novel against the queer theorist Judith Butler to reach an understanding of the characters queer selves.
Judith Butler's theory of performative gender and her notion of sex as something derived from cultural manifestations might help me to understand the characters in the novel. For they are ambiguous in their gender identity, and the novel in it self is set forth to expand all boundaries.
Keyword: Sexing the cherry, Jeanette Winterson, queer, queer-theory, queer writing, Judith
Butler, feminist theory.

Sammanfattning
Den här uppsatsen är en undersökning av Jeanette Wintersons roman Skapelsens kön. Genom att läsa romanen mot queerteoretikern Judith Butler hoppas jag kunna bilda en förståelse för romankaraktärernas queera identiter. Butlers teori om genus som performativt görande och hennes resonemang kring könet som härlett från kulturella manifestationer kan hjälpa mig med detta. Romanen i sig vill frigöra sig ifrån alla gränser och den här uppsatsen vill visa hur kön och genus är inkluderade i det projektet.
Nyckelord: Skapelsens kön, Jeanette Winterson, queer, queerteori, Judith Butler, feministisk teori. (Less)
