L’anatomie politique. Catégorisations et idéologies du sexe by Nicole-Claude Mathieu

In 1988 the society changed its name to the Canadian Anthropology Society to clarify its identity and emphasize its role as an anthropology association.

Its aims were to encourage formal and informal dissemination of knowledge through an annual conference and publications promote relations with other academic and professional associations, aboriginal groups, and governments and publicize ethnological research and activities to further understanding of ethnological practices. The original constitution defined the organization's mandate as providing a forum for the exchange of ideas among ethnologists. In February 1974 a group of 120 anthropologists launched the Canadian Ethnology Society/société canadienne d'ethnologie (CESCE), because they felt there was room for an association of anthropologists separate from the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA) which was dominated by sociologists. Ma lecture contraste avec les idées de vagues et générations opposées dans les études féministes. J'aborde l'anthropologie de Mathieu comme faisant partie d'une longue tradition d'anthropologie appliquée qui offre toujours des outils analytiques pour l'anthropologie féministe, publique et critique. Cet article retrace la pensée de Mathieu et ses liens théoriques à Claude Lévi-Strauss et Simone de Beauvoir. L'anthropologue française, Nicole-Claude Mathieu (1937–2014), a dévoué sa carrière à théoriser les institutions de mariage, les relations entre les conditions matérielles d'échange et celles de consentement, ainsi que la coexistence interculturelle de la diversité des genres et la subordination des femmes. This reading contrasts with views that there are 'waves' and opposing 'generations' in feminist scholarship. I read Mathieu's anthropology as par of the long tradition of engaged anthropology and as continuing to offer analytical tools for critical feminist public anthropology. This article traces Mathieu's thinking to her theoretical ties to Claude Lévi-Strauss and Simone de Beauvoir. French anthropologist, Nicole-Claude Mathieu (1937–2014), devoted her career to theorising the institution of marriage the relations between material conditions and 'consent' and the cross-cultural coexistence of gender diversity and subordination of women.
