AB Rewriting has been a recurrent technique in fields such as feminism andpostcolonialism. Therefore, feminist writers have used it as a strategy to deconstructgender and identity, representing these issues through complex non-normativecharacters in the contemporary novel. The aim of this BA thesis is to examine howgender and identity issues can be rewritten in postmodern literature, by relying on theexisting feminist theories about feminine writing and confirming they are both sociallyconstructed. In order to do this, two postmodern novels have been selected: Sexing TheCherry and Mr. Loverman. In both of them rewriting is employed with the goal ofquestioning some patriarchal concepts such as heteronormativity and gender binarism,while simultaneously striving for diversity on gender and identity matters. Among this,other methods introduced by the authors of the novels will be explored with the purposeof showing the multiple ways in which these two concepts can be approached.
