Masculinity and Femininity From the Perspective of Feministic Anthropology

Abstract

The subject of this study is a theoretic analysis of feministic anthropology as a relatively autonomous research approach and an independent anthropological discipline. Special attention will be paid to evolutionary changes of feministic anthropology.

The study aims at enhancing the use of gender approach when researching socio-cultural phenomena. That is why feministic anthropology is analysed as an approach which – as opposed to the traditional androcentric study of man – brings into cultural science a “woman’s voice” and gender point of view.
