Análisis del significado de ser ‘mujer’ a través de las categorías sexo-género y alteridad-identidad en Simone de Beauvoir y Judith Butler

Abstract

This document shows a philosophical analysis of the fundamental points of the authors Simone de Beauvoir and Judith Butler, who explain through two fundamental texts Beauvoir's The Second Sex and Butler's Gender Trouble from the categories of sex-gender and otherness-identity the problem of women's subordination. By virtue of this, a historical and philosophical journey is undertaken with the aim of analyzing the difficulties that afflict women in their social, political and economic development. The development of this analysis exposes the philosophical essence of the authors, as well as their theoretical proposals to solve the problems of women from different philosophical elements such as: essence, existence, transcendence, otherness, the body, the situation, the subject, structuralism and anti-structuralism. Likewise, this work seeks to make a joint analysis of the authors in order to determine their encounters and divergences that motivate an own research for the feminist movement in order to present a study, criticism and proposal on the categories in relation to the problems of women in today's society
