Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book investigates the complex strands that inextricably link gender and power relations, demonstrating how gender is constructed through the practices of power.
The contributors argue that `female′ and `male′ are shaped not only at the micro-level of everyday social interaction but also at the macro-level where social institutions control and regulate the practice of gender. Power/Gender explores: how theorizing on power is affected when gender is taken into account; post-Foucauldian theory of gender and power; whether it is possible to separate gender and power; the connections between gender and the practice of power in political contexts, and how these connections work in the specific contexts of women′s lives; and whether the construction of sex or gender is an expression of power relations.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Part I: Feminist theorizing of power and gender -- Part II: The state, politics and gender -- Part III: Power and the social construction of gender -- Part IV: Studies in the practice of power and gender.
