Document Summary
The bare bones of sex: part 1 sex and gender by: anne fautso-sterling. Author starts describing how bones illustrate us about the physical labor we have performed in our lifetime and also under which colonial regimes we have lived under author says bones can get thinner or thicker. Bones indicate class, race and sex (or is it gender wait and see) Authors states that dynamic system theories can answer all these question with regards to social categories which act on bone production. Author asks to what extent we can understand bone formation as an effect of culture rather than a passive unfolding of biology. Organism"s current and future behaviors are shaped by past experiences via a direct effect on the strength of connections between cells in the brain. Embodiment merges biology and culture: sex/gender dualism nature/nurture, sex is not fix/given, we have to include body in social theory- this has been done in disability research studies.
