Description
| This books combines a feminist materialist analysis of gender relations with a feminist post-modern approach to gender representation and cultural construction. The former approach insists on structural commonality and continuity with regard to the material significance of sexuality, care and work for a full understanding of women’s human conditions and social position; the latter resists over-generalization and argues for a localized understanding of the ever-changing interplay between structures of state, gender, ethnicity and women’s social identity. A combination of the two approaches makes for a rich account of the current transformation of the gendered conditions of human security at both levels: societal and quotidian. It also bridges an analysis of culture with politics and economics and integrates an analysis of class with citizenship and other dimensions of gender identity. |
