Abstract
HINCAPIE GARCIA, Alexánder. Critical Reviews of the Gender Concept. Notes for the Contemporary Social Theory. univ.humanist. [online]. 2015, n.79, pp.15-40. ISSN 0120-4807. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.UH79.rccg.
This work proposes in a critic way different conceptions regarding gender, and states that it is a powerful cultural construction that organizes social life. Initially, three conceptions are introduced: origins of patriarchy, Marxist theories and feminism, and French psychoanalytic theory. To conclude, some contributions of the poststructuralist theory -in terms of displacement and political relocation- are established. Basically, the work aims at questioning the normative conceptions of gender.
Keywords : gender; feminism; sexuality; sexual difference.
