Lecture 10 : Gender (Part 2)


Such a radically new way of theorising gender relates it to postmodernism and within this we may argue that gender is:

1.  Relative and contextual

2.  A shifting phenomenon

3.  Non-substantive being

4.  A relative point of convergence among culturally and historically specific sets of relations.

5.  Deferred totality

6.  Open coalition and open assemblage
