Personal Reflection: I am a fan of subversive children’s literature—when it is done right. The message in “The Cat Who Barked” is one rooted in the theory of performativity and gender identity. The cat is a signifier of the feminine, whereas the dog is a signifier of the masculine. By identifying as a dog, the cat becomes a queered signifier. Judith Butler would be proud of the simple way that gender performativity is represented in “The Cat Who Barked”. The conclusion of the book presents gender as fluid, and teaches that internalized ideas of expression are greater than outward identifiers. When the cat proclaims “am I a dog? I think I am…I bark like a dog…so I am a dog!” it represents the acceptance of the self despite traditional binary systems of representation.
Extension 1: To explore this idea further within a classroom setting, the students could compare the cat’s proclamation of “I bark like a dog, so I am a dog” to Descartes famous “I think, therefore I am”. A short writing exercise could be held in which students expound on the two statements and decide for themselves if the cat and Descartes are making the same declaration.
Extension 2: As a further extension, students could hold a class discussion about the way animals have been gendered. In this case a cat (traditionally feminine) believes it is a dog (traditionally masculine). Students should debate whether the story would work in the reverse.… (altro)
