The Performance of Gender presents a vivid description of everyday
life in order to explore the concept of performance for an
anthropology of gender. A detailed and evocotive account of the
lives of men and women in a South Indian fishing community reveals
new ways of framing gender relations, the body and kinship. The
ethnographic account is set within the context of social and
cultural theory, notably the ideas of Judith Butler, Pierre
Bourdieu and Michel Foucault. The study sheds new light on the ways
in which gender is understood as both performative, that is enacted
through everyday practices, and also substantial and embodied, that
is marked out in the separate sexual fluids and procreative
capacities of husbands and wives.
