J. Butler, a feminism theorist, emphasizes gender “performativity.” While she points out the “production” of the subject by law following M. Foucault's power theory, she pays attention to the mechanism of “exclusion” by power with reference to psychoanalysis. However, she criticizes S. Zizek, a Lacanian philosopher, for assuming the real as the impossible “outside” to discourse. In the dialogues between Butler and Zikek, we can distinguish two kinds of otherness: (1) the other marginalized within language and (2) the impossibility of language itself. Based on the above mentioned argument, in this paper, I would like to interpret “performativity” as the process of construction/deconstruction of society, in order to reconsider the relationship between subject and society.
