Abstract

The paper discusses the contribution of feminist anthropology to the theory and practice of what has recently been called “reflexive anthropology”. Contrary to James Clifford’s thesis that the feminist critique of social sciences has been of lesser significance in the reflexive analysis of ethnographies, the article demonstrates that feminist anthropology – with its distinct epistemology, awareness of historicity or politics, and recognition of gender – has influenced significantly the reflexivization of cultural anthropology.
