Lemma. The relevance of the research is that the mythological and mythological images
existing in the culture ("woman-mother ", "woman-worker", etc.), which produce a "natural"
world for us, are analyzed while eliminating from the field of vision the alternative
possibilities of its device. By problematizing this evidence, comprehending the possible values
excluded by the authorities, it is possible to foresee the consequences of certain discursive
concepts, while destroying their ideological closeness, "naturalness" and self-evidence of the
proposed designs. The formulation of the task consists in the philosophical comprehension
of the specifics of the conceptualization of motherhood as a complex semantic field, which is
determined by the nature of gender relations. The subject of the research consists of the
transformation of social forms and dispositive philosophical problems of motherhood, their
representation in the discourses and narratives of modern philosophy and culture. Analysis
of recent research and publications. Important for our study are the works of J. Butler, S.
Raddick, L. Irigarey, E. Sixu, J. Kristeva C. Lemert, E. Jeremiah, P. Deicher, L. Nicholson,
and others, which determine the study of maternity from the point of view of the problems of
identity / subjectivity, which is one of the main theoretical areas of postmodernity. The
researchers of gender, considering the postmodern impulse, tend to deconstruct female
identity, biology and "materiality", despite the "eternal secret" of the essential body.
Key words:maternity, subjectivity, representation, discoursive practice, performativity.
