Summary/Abstract: The article treats the distribution of activities and social roles with regard to sex in three types of communities: those of Bulgarian Orthodox Christians, Sunni Turks and Bulgarian Muslims. The materials used are from a field work done in the West Rhodopes, the town of Hadzhidimovo, Gotse Delchev region during the period 1996-1998. The research covered the project “Cultural Interpretations of Ethnic Images”. A special emphasis has been put on the understanding of gender and its effect upon power/competence relations within the frames of everyday communication and cast distribution in the traditional culture of the settlement.
