The Discursive Formations of Gender Experience

Abstract

Inspired by the foucaultian notion of “discursive formation” and from a transnational standpoint, I draw upon the digital archive Non binary wiki 2 to deepen gender morality. The non-binary alternative (i.e. not exclusively feminine or masculine) shows stabilization processes of the discursive system by illustrating how the redefinition of experiences implies distinct partitions of what is signification and signifier. Between authorized and il/legitimate boundaries of those experiences there are articulated and diffuse sets of what may and should be gender, which delimit and bring forth Us/Others and Included/Excluded dialogues. Therefore, the ideological problematic will benefit from considering all attempts of gender discursive validation and their normative de/configurations and reconfigurations.
