PROBLEM OF GENDER / FEMININE / MASCULINE IDENTITY SELF-DETERMINATION IN THE CONTEXT OF POST-MODERN DISCOURSE

Abstract

The paper theoretically conceptualizes interpretations of subjectivity, identity under the conditions of another sociality. The present study has analyzed feminine subjectivity, identitу within philosophy of feminism. It has been indicated that problematization of feminine / masculine identity as multiple and decentered construction transforms traditional patriarchal ideas of social roles of men and women and concentrates attention on discursive nature of their identities, changing the idea of femininity, masculinity, sexuality, maternity, paternity. The paper has defined a key thesis of scientific studies, which explains that traditional ideas of feminine and masculine were based on the compliance with gender roles and were defined by encratic discourse as socially and culturally pre- determined, normatively acceptable, sexually differentiated. The paper emphasizes that identity construction is an individualized process, in which an individual identifies his or her priorities, desires, attaching value and seman- tic meaning that not necessarily coincides with the functionality of gender roles as social norms. In postmodern context, the problem consists in individual’s desire to freely construct and practisehis or her identity in relations with Other / Others. The paper concludes that identity is manifestedin some practices as an individual project of conscious self-realization and preserves subjectivity in its individual determination.
