AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document is a critique of various anthropological studies on gender in Greek society which are dominated by male or male-centered discourse. According to Dubisch these studies seem to indicate that men create and constitute society while women are 'only' women (p. 32). The major part of this work is then devoted to providing a better understanding of gender and kinship in the Greek context, with suggestions as to the wider implications of this ethnographic data for anthropology as a whole.
