From the essay "Performative Acts and Gender Constitution" by Dr. Judith Butler
[Yes, I just took a sentence that she wrote, and made it into a poem, but see if it works for you. Tell me what you think.]
In fact, I would agree, and argue that it is primarily political interests which create the social phenomena of gender itself, and that without a radical critique of gender constitution feminist theory fails to take stock of the way in which oppression structures the ontological categories through which gender is conceived. |
Even though it is only one sentence, I think you were right to spot a certain poetical rhythm.
When I read it out loud, somehow it feels more natural to break line 10 and 11 up in a different way (and that without / a radical critique / of gender / consitution ... ). However, the way you have broken it up gives new meaning to those lines (and that without a radical, critique of gender ... ) and for that, I take my proverbial hat off to you. |
