Abstract

This essay analyses the notion of "gender" from the phenomenology of the body by Maurice Merleau Ponty. Although this thinker does not conceptualize concretely about such a current and discussed topic the depth by which he approaches the problema of the body and the generality with which he deals with one of its fundamental dimensions -Its condition of the sexual body-, that allows us to signify the notion in question more extensively. Our purpose is to show that based on the proposal approach made by the philosopher in his Phenomenology of the perception, “gender” can be understood not like a condition, otherwise like a performative action, that makes and creates body.
