Gender identity as a subject of communicative politics

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of "social" and "private" and the definition of constructive mechanisms that influence the structure of society and social relations. The ratio of private and public is the main structural feature of the feminist approach to the analysis of society. The problem of public and private is especially relevant in the context of political science, because it is at the intersection of public and private life that gender identity is formed, standardized patterns of courage and femininity arise. Gender studies develop and popularize stereotypes related to gender differences, introduce them into social and political relations, and create dichotomies. Considering the public and private sphere through the prism of gender studies, we disclose the main aspects of contemporary criticism of these spheres in a theoretical and political context.

Public and private are multifaceted phenomena that can be analyzed from a variety of positions. Personal attitudes are manifested in the appearance and behavior of people, in media and political discourses, in scientific and theoretical models. They change, most often imperceptibly, the perception of both individual subjects and entire institutions. In our time, if we are talking about politics and identity on public and personal, on the theory and practice, it is necessary to take into account the real relations of power, the genesis of categories and discover the origins of inequality and discrimination.
