Description
Abstract Contemporary British writer Jeanette Winterson, in Written an the Body (1992), problematizes the construction of gender and gendered narratives by undertaking an experiment through a narrator whose sex and gender remain nameless. Winterson's text displays discontinuity of the narrator-subject who recognizes inconsistency. Not an "intelligible" body, but a "specter of discontinuity and incoherence," as Judith Butler calls, the narrator is "constantly prohibited ... by the very laws that seek to establish causal or expressive lines of connection among biological sex, culturally constituted genders, and the expression or effect of both in the manifestation of sexual desire through sexual practice" (Butler 1990, 17). Concentrating on the androgenic nature of the unconscious manifesting itself through writing in Winterson's novel, this paper aims to reconsider why the writer presents a narrator whose gender and sex remain undeclared. It also aims to analyze how Winterson creates a narrative which backgrounds gender to transform the hetero-narrative and its gendered pretexts.
