Abstract
The paper aims at representing reflection of Iranian women’s gender identity in their lifestyle. It applies the ideas of Judith Butler on performativity, based on which the repetition of actions create and naturalize the artificial constructions of gender. It seeks to illuminate the traces of gender identity in lifestyle. Comparing the traditional and modern lifestyle, it explores how discourse has constructed Iranian woman and how through repetition of action or failure of repetition they sustain or modify the gender identity. It is concluded that Iranian women, in both traditional and modern lifestyle are performing the conventions of gender and are identified by their gender of womanliness.
