Genus, kropp och habitusförändring

Abstract

With very few exceptions, gender and the body have been a matter of complete indifference to semiotics, but a central concern of psychoanalysis. In her book Alice Doesn't: Feminism, Semiotics, Cinema (1984) Teresa de Lauretis argued that Peirce's notion of habit effectively bridges the theoretical divide between semiotics and psychoanalysis. In this article she explores the relation of habit to gender.
