Viricentrisme in feministische antropologie

Samenvatting

Feminist anthropologists, who have exposed the viricentric character of much anthropological work, are themselves affected by viricentrism. Many use viricentric definitions of social concepts, eg, power, status, & authority. Many also have a viricentric bias in their study of female roles in various societies. A model is proposed for the unbiased study of male-female relationships, in which the 'ideological inversion of reality' plays a central role. Several studies which have applied such a model are cited. HA.
