dc.description.abstract |
"Empire" manifests itself both as an empirical reality and in its
ideological claims. The paper argues that sexism, patriarchy
and hierarchical societal structures still prevail in postapartheid
South Africa. The shift from the view that gendered
objects were regarded as racial objects in apartheid South
Africa to the view of gendered objects as equity objects in
post-apartheid South Africa goes hand in hand with meaningful
shifts in power. The paper further argues that the problem of
the lack of engendering is inextricably linked to the intrinsically
patriarchal character of South Africa. The presence of
women in the ecclesial and societal structures is not an indicator
of the transformation of the patriarchal anthropology in
South Africa. The paper discusses the challenges with regard to
gender mainstreaming in post-apartheid South Africa within
the framework of post-structuralism. |
