Course/Module description:
In this course, we will review anthropological theories and perspective regarding sex, gender and sexuality. Throughout the course, we will discuss the ways in which different cultures understand and construct those social categories, and the changes that occurred in their social understanding through time. We will review subjects such as gender scripts, sexual practices and orientation, and the social construction of the biological sex.
We will also deal with the changes that occurred in anthropological theory in regard to sex, gender and sexuality after the “crisis of representation” and will focus on the shift from looking at the “wild and untamed” sexuality of the natives, to the research of those topics in western culture.
