Anotace

Bringing together distinguished scholars and original voices from anthropology's diverse subfields, this work probes critical issues in the study of gender, sex, and sexuality. Contributors offer significant reflections on feminist anthropology's winding trajectory. In so doing, they examine what it means to practice feminist anthropology today, at a time when the field is perceived as fragmented and contentious.By uniting around shared feminist concerns, Feminist Anthropology: Past, Present, and Future establishes a common ground for varied practitioners. A holistic perspective allows for effective and creative dialogue on such issues as performativity, pedagogy, heteronormativity, difference, and identity. In addition, Geller's and Stockett's work provides a vital assessment of the history and current state of feminist theorizing within the discipline by identifying three issues central to future feminist analyses: the critical reenvisioning of old interpretations, the political and practical aspects of the academy, and the critique of heteronormativity. Throughout the volume, these topics are explored, deconstructed, and transformed.The enduring contribution of this new book lies in its authors' efforts to place their work within the larger context of social theory, while also acknowledging and focusing on the realities of anthropological practice and politics.
