Transforming Bodies
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The paper is going to discuss the concept of identity transformations via various forms of gender performance (via language, acts and the body). Concretely, I am going to focus on two forms of gender performance ? pandrogyny and transgenderism (includinginter-gender) and compare them. Pandrogyny is 'a process' of two (and more) people undergoing a series of cosmetic surgeries to 'look' like each other because they 'are' each other. The word 'process' is crucial here as it presupposes the fluidity of identity - an important concept for this discussion. Pandrogyny differs very much from the notion of transgenderism; which is usually understood as 'being trapped in the incorrect body', and hence there is a final aim of one?s transformation ? an end goal.Thus although both of these forms of identity transformations are deconstructing common notions of gender, sex and the body; they are different ways of identity construction.
