Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze how the theory of performativity by Judith Butler allows us to think subjects' agency and resistance. Butler proposes to deconstruct the category of identity by way of performativity, which enables us to think ourselves as subjects in the limits, interdependent and vulnerable. By considering ourselves as performative beings which are also vulnerable to our interactions with either context and other people, the questioning of the social norms that entour us will lead towards a transformation of the own self. This transformation that starts with our own identities, leads to another way to understand what humanity is and to formulate our political agencies.
