In response to global change, people create new opportunities and
conditions, and in their responses they are influenced by both
gender and age. In Gender, Agency and Change the contributors
illustrate the complexities involved in the constitution and
performance of agency. Such agency may be reflected in strategies
of accommodation and adaption that can nevertheless produce new
institutional arrangements. Alternatively, they may be directed
towards the outright rejection of these processes. The cases
examined in this volume explore the ways in which different
subjects engage in the reformulation of spaces, roles and
identities, redefining the boundaries between, and the content of,
the 'public' and the 'private'. The examples also provide an
account of how gendered discourses are deployed to convey new
meanings, a new sense of place and time, confirming or challenging
ideas of 'tradition' and 'modernity'. This collection will be of
particular interest to students of anthropology and gender studies.
