Resumen
CASTELAR C., Andrés Felipe. La identidad como performatividad, o de cómo se llega a ser lo que no se es. CS [online]. 2008, n.2, pp.209-226. ISSN 2011-0324. https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i2.418.
The social pressure to develop an identity according to a biological referent has historical origins, and has been used as a tool for social control and domination. This article discusses the current state of the identity concept, focusing on the subject of sexuality. It makes use of Judith Butler's theses, who, from a de-constructivist and post-structuralist perspective, proposes a new definition of identity in terms of performative iteration. Identity is then understood as a demand for intelligibility from society, which limits the possibilities of sexual expression.
