Judith Butler was influenced by feminist theory,queer theory,post-structuralist philosophical thought,psychoanalysis and speech act theory,she emphasizes that there is no transcendental female subject.The gender subject is performative,temporary,continuous and changing,and is constructed through discourse and power.Judith Butler's postmodern feminist thought dissolves the traditionally stable and unchanging female subject,and reconstructs a pluralistic gender subject.Butler's concept of gender subject deconstructs the dichotomy of sex and gender.Her view on gender subject has a broad influence on the creation and criticism of homosexual literature and queer literature.The feminist theories in the past mainly explored the oppression of women / female subject in the patriarchal society,and revealed the unfair treatment of female subject as others.Today,after experiencing the influence of postmodernism,the boundaries of women's identity framework have gradually blurred.As cultural theories and various disciplines blend with each other,Feminism and Queer Movement and ethnic and ethnic movements have shown a trend of integration.Judith Butler,as a representative of postmodern feminism,faced the changing social pattern,broke the barriers that focused on female subject in the past,and turned her attention to "gender subject".The essence of the gender subject is mainly reflected in constructive,performative and pluralistic.However,it also has certain limitations.For example,her complicated theory lacks certain academic attribution and school identity,and it is still not clear where it will go after deconstructing the gender subject.Deconstruction,then how to re-establish the new power and obligation mechanism of the gender subject and how to construct cultural identity have become outstanding practical issues.Butler's gender subjective view has radical and subversive intentions.For example,she believes that gender subjectives are pluralistic and have a realistic political tendency toward democratic identity.However,some views still lack feasibility to some extent.At the same time,putting Butler's gender subjective view into the perspective of feminist literary criticism,its ideological value and its influence on gender in Chinese literature are also worthy of in-depth attention.
