Feministička antropološka kritika: od univerzalizma do razlike
Feminist Anthropologic Critique: From Universalism to Difference

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an overview of the development of feminist anthropology from the time of its institutionalization, attempting at depicting the variety of theories and ethnographic practices. The feministically oriented female anthropologists question the dominant model of research and develop a critique of sexism in science. By introducing the perspective of manifoldly constructed seks - the perspective of gender - female scholars have contributed to the post modernist transformation of social disciplines and have opened a series of new or neglected methodological issues. At the same time, different theoretical thoughts and attempts at making a different epistemology are created within the feminist corpus itself. The feminist scientific paradigm has divided into two opposite groups when discussing the terms of universality and difference, essentialism and deconstructivism, and the introduction of the term gender. Today, we speak of the feminist ethnographies and recognize the different approaches or needs of the female researchers and the female informants.
