Judith Butler, professor and philosopher

  • "Gender is a kind of imitation for which there is no original; in fact, it is a kind of imitation that produces the very notion of the original as an effect and consequence of the imitation itself."
    • Butler, Judith (1991). "Imitation and Gender Insubordination" from Inside/Out (ed. Diana Fuss, 1991).
  • "Indeed it may be only by risking the incoherence of identity that connection is possible."
    • Butler, Judith (1993). Bodies That Matter: On the Discursive Limits of "Sex". New York: Routledge.
