Anthropology and Gender

Women played an indispensable role in the history of anthropology, but anthropology and gender or feminist anthropology appeared until the early 1970s. While the role of gender and gender was always an important part of any ethnographic research, contributors to this theory began to focus on the male-centered nature of anthropology itself. A big gap in information on women's research is regarded as prejudice for men and prejudice becomes more prominent as small-scale field-centered research is not appropriately addressed in academia.

In sociology and anthropology, gender and sexual behavior are quite different from everyday understanding. In other words, distinguish between gender and sex. Gender refers to the biological or physical characteristics that distinguishes between "male" and "female." Gender represents the subjective position people use to describe social experience, norms, values, and experiences of "male temperament" and "female temperament". The presence of our bodies, external sex organs and chromosomes determines whether we are considered "male" or "female". Extensive empirical evidence from the social sciences suggests that the biological definition of gender is not only rigid but also the result of cultural, historical and legal systems in different times and places. The interactive map below shows a culture that does not fit into two simple gender models.

Due to the rapid spread of research related to feminist anthropology, especially biological anthropology and gender relations mutual criticism, the kinship study began to gain mainstream recognition in the late 1990s. At this point, the arrival of "Third World Feminism" believes that studies of relatives can not examine the gender relationship of developing countries alone, and respect the race and the nuance of the economy. For example, in Jamaica's anthropological study, this criticism has taken on relevance. Race and class were regarded as the main barriers to Jamaica 's liberation from economic imperialism, and gender as an identity was largely ignored. Third world feminism aims to counter this situation at the beginning of the 21st century by advertising these categories as coexisting factors. In addition, Jamaican women often artificially thin the color of the skin to ensure economic survival.
