Beskrivning
'Gender' is used to classify humans and to explain their behaviour in predominantly social rather than biological terms. But how useful is the concept of gender in social analysis? To what degree does gender relate to sex? How does gender feature in shifts in familial structures and demography? How should gender be conceived in terms of contemporary inequality and injustice, and what is gender's function in the design and pursuit of political objectives? In this volume a collection of international experts from the fields of political philosophy, political theory, sociology, economics, law, psychoanalysis and evolutionary psychology scrutinize the conceptual effectiveness of gender both as a mode of analysis and as a basis for envisioning the transformation of society. Each contributor considers how gender might be conceived in contemporary terms, offering a variety of (often conflicting) interpretations of the concept's usefulness for the future.

Recensioner i media

'The Future of Gender draws together eminent scholars from diverse academic disciplines to interrogate the conceptual efficacy of 'gender' - evaluating whether, and in what ways, 'gender' provides a useful category of analysis and a productive basis for an emancipatory politics. This is an original and stimulating collection with high quality essays that challenge existing orthodoxies, and one another, in interesting and provocative ways.' Judith Squires, Professor of Political Theory, University of Bristol
