Abstract:
The paper discusses the history of the relation between feminist scholarship and cultural anthropology as two ways of thinking about culture and social relationships. It focuses in particular on the feminist critique of the anthropological theory and ethnographic research. It points out the different epistemological and political standpoints of feminism and anthropology as the resource of the tensioned relationship between these two traditions of thinking about culture. The paper maps the current practice of feminist anthropology in the context of its evolvement from the anthropology of women to anthropology of gender and feminist anthropology and outlines the impact of feminist scholarship on the development of anthropological theory and the epistemology and methodology of ethnographic research. Its aim is to map the changes that the idea of what it means to “do” feminist anthropology came through since the 70s.
