Yüz yılı aşkın zamandır “insan”ı bütüncül olarak ele alma iddiasında bulunan antropoloji, yeni bir sosyal bilim dalı olarak tarihteki yerini almış; zaman içinde kültürel olguların değişmesiyle kendisi de dönüşüme uğramış, alt disiplinlere ayrılmıştır. Bizi Şekillendiren Kültür – Sosyal ve Kültürel Antropolojiye Giriş kitabı da bu sosyal bilim alanını tanıtıcı bir metin olarak okuyucuya sunuyor. Antropolojinin ortaya çıktığı koşullardan başlayarak diğer sosyal bilimlerle etkileşimini izleyen bu kitapta; kuramsal yaklaşımlar kadar antropolojinin; saha deneyimleri, araştırma yöntemleri, dil, iktisat, cinsiyet, aile, siyaset, hukuk, din ve sanat alanlarını değerlendirmesi de tartışılıyor. Aynı kalan ve/veya başkalaşan herşey kültürün alanına giriyorsa insana dair ortaklıklar ve farklılıklar da kültürel antropolojinin çalışma alanına giriyor demektir. Bu kitap; "bizi şekillendiren kültür"ü, "kültürü şekillendiren biz"i dahil ederek tartışıyor ve iki yönlü bir antropoloji çerçevesi çiziyor.
Bu kitap, kadın dindarlığı konusunu, İstanbul-Fatih ilçesi merkezli iki farklı dinî grup özelinde ele alıyor.

İki dinî gruptaki kadın dindarlığı; dinî gruba bağlanma süreçleri, dinî gruba katılım sonrası yaşanan dinî-manevî ve psiko-sosyal değişim, dinî inanç, algı ve yaşantı biçimleri, modern yaşam ve popüler kültür ürünlerine yönelik tutumlar ve İslâm’da kadının yeriyle ilgili güncel tartışmalı konulara yaklaşım gibi alanlarda inceleniyor.

Taiwan's rapid socio-economic and political transformation has given rise to a gender-conscious middle class that is attempting to redefine the roles of women in society, to restructure relationship patterns, and to organize in groups outside the family unit. This book examines internal psychological processes and external societal processes as the feminist movement in Taiwan expands and new gender roles are explored. The contributors represent a cross section of different disciplines - history, anthropology, and sociology - and different generations of China/Taiwan scholars. They place the issues facing Taiwan's women's movement in social, political, and economic contexts. The book examines gender relations, the role of women in Chinese society, and issues related to women in China throughout history. Feminism and gender relations are also viewed from the context of film and literature. The authors look at the contemporary roles that women play in Taiwan's work force today, how the sexes perceive each other in the workplace, and more.

Using contemporary and topical examples from the media, popular culture, and everyday life, this lively and accessible introduction shows how the issues, concepts, and theories in Judith Butler’s work function as socio-cultural practices. Giving due consideration to Butler’s earlier and most recent work, and showing how her ideas on subjectivity, gender, sexuality and language overlap and interrelate, this book gives a better understanding not only of Butler’s work, but of its applications to modern-day social and cultural practices and contexts.
Judith Butler has been arguably the most important gender theorist of the past twenty years. This edited volume draws leading international political theorists into dialogue with her political theory.
