"Gender" is used to classify humans and to explain their behaviour
in predominantly social rather than biological terms. But how
useful is the concept of gender in social analysis? To what degree
does gender relate to sex? How does gender feature in shifts in
familial structures and demography? How should gender be conceived
in terms of contemporary inequality and injustice, and what is
gender's function in the design and pursuit of political
objectives? In this volume a collection of international experts
from the fields of political philosophy, political theory,
sociology, economics, law, psychoanalysis and evolutionary
psychology scrutinize the conceptual effectiveness of gender both
as a mode of analysis and as a basis for envisioning the
transformation of society. Each contributor considers how gender
might be conceived in contemporary terms, offering a variety of
(often conflicting) interpretations of the concept's usefulness for
the future.
