Gênero, família e globalização

Abstract

The author of this text reviews six articles included in the Gender, family and globalization file, showing both the aspects shared by them and some of their particularities. An common approach to all is the analysis of contemporary society, on basis of the changes occurred in the world-wide plan but with results special for some countries. They also share the perspective of gender, which appears in clear or implicit way. The particularities concern the relation between gender and race, the family approach and the queer theory. © 2009 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia - UFRGS.
