"Does being female constitute a "natural fact" or a cultural performance, or is "naturalness" constituted through discursively constrained performative acts that produce the body throught and within the categories of sex ? [...] What other foundational categories of identtiy -the binary of sex, gender, and the body- can be shown as productions that create the effect of the natural, the original, and the inevitable." (p.VIII)
"To expose the foundanational categories of sex, gender, and desire as effects of a specific formation of power requires a form of critical inquiry that Foucault, reformulating Nietzsche, désignâtes as "genealogy". A genealogical critique refuses to search for the origins of gender, the inner truth of female desire, a genuine or authentic sexual identity that repression has kept from view ; rather, genealogy investigates the political stakes in designating as an origin and cause those identity categories that are in fact the effect of institutions, practices, discourses with multiple and diffuse points of origin. The task of this inquiry is to center on -and decenter- such defining institutions: phallogocentrism and compulsory heterosexuality." (p.VIII-IX)
""Female" no langer appears to be a stable notion, its meaning is as troubled and unfixed as "woman"." (p.IX)
