TRIANA MORENO, Diana. EXPRESIÓN Y PERFORMATIVIDAD: EL CUERPO COMO SER SEXUADO. Eidos [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.201-224. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.29.10526.

The main objective of this article is to make evident the relationship between expressivity and performativity trying to reveal the continuities, tensions and ruptures concerning the ways of understanding the sexed body in Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception and the poststructuralist perspective of Judith Butler. On the one hand, the body as a sexual being is approached to demonstrate how the critiques to the anonymous body and the preexistence of the operative locus made by feminism do not fully grasp the ideas of the French philosopher. On the other hand, the notions of expressivity and performativity are approached to reveal the displacement from theatricality to dramatization.

Keywords : Body; gender; phenomenology; expressivity; performativity.
