“…Conkey and Gero were not alone in their concern for the dearth of critical theorizing in their field. Coinciding with the Women's Liberation Movement-and leading eventually to the codification of Women's and Gender Studies as recognized academic programs-parallel calls to action were put forth across anthropology (e.g., Reiter 1975;Rosaldo and Lamphere 1974;Weiner 1979; for more detailed histories, see Geller and Stockett 2006;Geller 2016;di Leonardo 1991;Lewin 2005;Lewin and Silverstein 2016;McClaurin 2001). These movements have been popularly characterized as "second wave" feminisms because they are often seen as the next instantiation (much delayed) of major gender activism after the gender equality-throughsuffrage movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.…”

“…Attention to their work may help us avoid the pitfalls that have challenged others. Feminist ethnography has developed a robust literature combining and reinventing feminist epistemology, method, and practice (Davis and Cravin 2016;Lewin and Silverstein 2016;McClaurin 2001;Visweswaran 1994Visweswaran , 1997. Davis and Cravin argue that feminist ethnography attends to the dynamics of power in social interaction that starts from a gender analysis.…”

We advocate a feminist approach to archaeological heritage work in order to transform heritage practice and the production of archaeological knowledge. We use an engaged feminist standpoint and situate intersubjectivity and intersectionality as critical components of this practice. An engaged feminist approach to heritage work allows the discipline to consider women's, men's, and gender non-conforming persons' positions in the field, to reveal their contributions, to develop critical pedagogical approaches, and to rethink forms of representation. Throughout, we emphasize the intellectual labor of women of color, queer and gender non-conforming persons, and early white feminists in archaeology.

“…In reflecting on my intimate ethnography as process and product, I have come to consider it an instance of critical feminist ethnography rooted in intersubjectivity and contingent history, which has the potential to resonate with readers beyond the academy (Davis and Craven 2016;Lewin and Silverstein 2016). It historicizes the subject and the subject matter without reducing one to the other, one among the work's multifaceted layers.…”

Intimate ethnography is work of the anthropological imagination that models dialectical thinking in its approach to people, topics, and analysis. Rooted in particular intellectual, cultural, political, and anthropological currents, intimate ethnography comes when the need to engage larger publics in rethinking and recounting lives lived and experienced is increasingly urgent. An example of such work, My Father's Wars, centers an intimate Other as the subject of my research, a transnational life story in the context of historically constituted violence. Intimate ethnography illustrates feminist ethnography and illuminates the dangers of ethnonationalism; requires the crafting of an evocative, compelling account through the writing itself; and offers the possibility of an afterlife for anthropological work in the public sphere and thus of anthropology as an intervention in public discourse.

“…Los principales referentes teóricos devienen del campo de estudio antropológico, aunque la investigación tiene un fuerte carácter multidisciplinar que se nutre del conocimiento producido por diferentes disciplinas en el campo de los Estudios de Género, y del análisis del poder y de la toma de decisiones (Lewin y Silverstein, 2016;Hesse-Bibe, 2012;Ortner, 1979;Leacock, 1978;Moncó, 2011;Stolcke, 1996;Benhabib, 2006;Foucault, 1970Foucault, , 1990Bourdieu, 2000;Gramsci, 1971;Spivak, 1985).…”

Introducción. La igualdad de género es, al mismo tiempo, una noción teórica y una categoría analítica, además de un derecho social. Esta triple concepción genera múltiples interferencias a la hora de su definición analítica, especialmente en los estudios de carácter cuantitativo. El problema deviene de cómo medir la igualdad de género en base a criterios objetivos y determinar el grado de acceso de las mujeres al poder. Objetivos. En este artículo se exploran estas cuestiones desde el análisis de la participación femenina en el ámbito político local tras la entrada en vigor de la Ley de Igualdad. La finalidad es paliar el déficit de instrumentos precisos para medir la igualdad de género en sus distintas manifestaciones a lo largo de todo el proceso político. Metodología. La investigación se ha organizado en dos partes: el examen del nuevo escenario de participación política tras la aplicación de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007, analizando la concatenación de desigualdades en diferentes fases del proceso para evitar los sesgos derivados de la comparación; y la articulación de dos nuevas herramientas analíticas propias a partir de la delimitación de los grados de igualdad y desigualdad. Resultados. Presentamos la Escala de Presencia de Género (EPG) y los Indicadores para medir la Distancia a la Simetría de Género (DSG). Ambas permiten medir la paridad en las distintas fases del proceso, de forma estandarizada, facilitando la comparación eficaz e interrelacionada, de las distintas categorías, elementos y contextos. También, evaluar el grado de igualdad en que se encuentra la presencia femenina en cada una de ellas e, incluso, prever cuáles son las perspectivas a corto-medio plazo. Conclusiones y discusión. Esta comparativa supone un avance en la metodología usada hasta el momento, siendo más precisa, operativa y productiva; susceptible, además, de ser extrapolada a cualquier otro ámbito.
