Resumen o Introducción
In this paper I will discuss the characteristics of gender fluidity throughout Ali Smith’s book "Girl meets boy", exemplify the notion of gender fluidity on one character and present the water imagery in correlation to gender fluidity. The discussion of gender norms and its impact on individuals as well as society is an increasingly popular and reoccurring discussion within communities worldwide. The conception of a binary gender model as the norm is in the process of a general reconstruction. As the World Health Organization defines gender as a reference to "the socially constructed characteristics of women and men – such as norms, roles and relationships of and between groups of women and men" it sheds light to the widening of the human awareness and social impact within a society.
This paper will cover a short introduction to the term gender fluidity within its general notion, providing an overview of the topic at hand and creating an uninterrupted connection to Ali Smith's book "Girl meets boy", discussed in Chapter two. In this chapter I will outline the different ways in which gender fluidity is presented in the story and show how Ali Smith finds methods to express this topic.
