Description

Explore the complexities of social identity with The Performance of Gender, part of the LSE Monographs on Social Anthropology series. This work provides a vivid description of everyday life within a South Indian fishing village to examine how gender is enacted through daily practice. By looking closely at the lives of men and women in this community, the text offers new ways to frame gender relations, the body, and kinship. This ethnographic study connects real-world observations with major social and cultural theories. It engages with the ideas of influential thinkers such as Judith Butler, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michel Foucault to explain how gender functions as a performative act. Whether you are a student of sociology or a researcher in anthropology, this book provides a detailed account of how social structures are lived and maintained through routine actions.
