Gender performativity, as Judith Butler’s core concept, focuses on issues related to sex and sexuality. At the very beginning of the 21 st century, a political turn occurs in performativity theory, changing its priority from abstract issues of sex, gender and identity to the real Others in a troubling political dilemma. Now it aims to deconstruct the living strategy of the Others rather than an individual subject’s gender identity. Following the political turn, this essay takes universal "human" appeal as a starting point to plumb the potential of performativity theory as a critique of everyday life.
