Don DeLillos White Noise has a direct discourse in dealing with various themes such as modernism, postmodernism, and Americanism. It also has an indirect discourse or a subtext in dealing with gender. This novel represents the performance of gender within the cultural context and its limits. It has a cultural scenario in a gender performance more than a gender performative and how the gender performance colonizes mans actions. This research exposes the differences between gender performance and gender performative in White Noise according to Judith Butlers perspectives on gender. Thus, this article disputes how the novel depicts gender roles as performance more than as performative actions. It further uncovers how DeLillo subjugates the gender performance of each sex to limited actions. For this reason, the male and female characters perform their regular gender practices within the domain of a patriarchal ideology. The gender theory of Butlers Gender Performativity will be adopted to support the main argument of this paper.
