Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
To highlight the shortcomings in bioarchaeology's analysis of sex (a fundamental category of skeletal analysis) as dualistic, innate, and unchanging, the author stresses several ideas derived from feminist-inspired scholarship. In the past fifteen years, many of these scholars have worked to demystify sex as a fixed, dichotomous entity by historicizing the concept and detailing cross-cultural understandings. The author teases out biomedicine's comprehension of sex, as evidenced by discourse and practice. Biomedicine provides the larger epistemic frame for bioarchaeologists' sexing criteria, as well as the meanings that many investigators attach to discernible, biological difference. Ultimately, drawing on feminist-inspired theories allows for critical reflection as well as exploration of alternative issues. Such integration supplies fertile ground upon which biologically oriented scholars may sow the seeds of needed disciplinary changes. | ||
