Gender and Discourse: The Basics of Constructivism, Biocentric Hypothesis, Hysteria of Desire, Narrative Format

Abstract

The article examines the main currents in modern gender and feminist studies ‒ constructivism and biocentrism. The conceptual basis of constructivism was Leibnitz’s metaphysics of organicism defining individual consciousness by the freedom of its self-creation and by a choice of existential possibilities. Radical constructivism involves abolition of any symbolic and biological determinants, with hysteria of desire, which is embodied in corporal practices and in postmodern production of identities. Gender identification is based on consensual forms of cultural and life worlds and the narrative format of gender construction, which post-ontology locates in the analytics of pleasure.
