Gender Archaeology Stig Sorensen Marie Louise Jesus College Cambridge
This major new textbook explores the relations between gender and archaeology, providing an innovative and important account of how material culture is used in the construction of gender. Part One discusses a range of important general issues, beginning with an overview of the recent role of gender and gender relations in our appropriation of past societies. Throughout this lively and accessible text, Sorensen engages with the question of how gender is materially constituted, and examines the intersection of social and material concerns from the Palaeolithic Age to the present day.
In Part Two, the author focuses on the materiality of gender, exploring it through case studies ranging from prehistory to contemporary society. After introducing the debate about feminist or gender archaeology, Sorensen examines archaeologya s concern with the sex/gender distinction, the nature of negotiation, and feminist epistemological claims in relation to archaeology. Food, dress, space and contact are examined in turn, to show how they express and negotiate gender roles.This illustrated textbook will be essential reading for students and scholars in archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies and womena s studies.
