Abstract

The text presents a short account of the history of the philosophically relevant key concepts in feminist theory – sex and gender. Those concepts were crucial in the process of constitution of gender (women's) studies as well as for the manouvering of feminist practice. On the other hand, however, and Judith Butler demonstrates exceptionally, these concepts are also the points of a friutful debate, opening the possibility of resignification, different (new?) ways of thinking about the fundamental assumptions of feminist theory. While it leaves feminist theory devoid of a firm, fixed position, ensuing instability, it offers a specific, subversive potential for a theory in general, while expanding the domains of inclusiveness in practice.
