The fourth edition of Gender: In World Perspective is a concise volume in the Short Introductions’ series, and one that many in the field of gender studies will find compliments their library shelf. Comprised of eight chapters, this introductory text explores the historic development and contemporary thinking relating to gender and its relational components in different contexts across the globe. Whilst modelling the same layout as the third edition, this fourth edition provides new case studies to demonstrate everyday manifestations of gender and revises the analytical treatment of politics, environmental issues, and embodiment to bring all chapters up to date. This edition renews its efforts to be as diverse as possible, drawing on often overlooked gender research and theory from outside of Western Europe, to places such as Finland, Chile, Australia, South Africa, Indonesia, and Japan. Although touting itself as an introduction to academic perspectives on gender, this book is very comprehensive in its scope and covers the social, economic, political, relational, and global dimensions of gender theories. Due to the level of comprehension over such a short book it may be convoluted for lay audiences or those who are new to philosophies and social theories of gender. Indeed, this is no ‘easy-read’ overview of gender scholarship. Personally, I would recommend this to undergraduate students in their final years of university or postgraduate students who wish to specialise in gender research over those who are new to gender theory.

性别:Raewyn Connell 的世界视角第 4 版——James Pickles 的书评

第四版性别:从世界的角度来看是简短介绍系列中的一本简洁的卷,许多性别研究领域的人会发现他们图书馆的书架很好。这本介绍性文本由八章组成,探讨了与性别及其在全球不同背景下的关系组成部分相关的历史发展和当代思维。在建模与第三版相同的布局的同时,第四版提供了新的案例研究来展示性别的日常表现,并修改对政治、环境问题和体现的分析处理,使所有章节都与时俱进。这一版再次努力尽可能多样化,借鉴了西欧以外经常被忽视的性别研究和理论,包括芬兰、智利、澳大利亚、南非、印度尼西亚和日本。尽管这本书自称是对性别学术观点的介绍,但它的范围非常全面,涵盖了性别理论的社会、经济、政治、关系和全球层面。由于对这样一本短书的理解水平,对于非专业观众或那些不熟悉性别哲学和社会理论的人来说,它可能会令人费解。确实,这不是关于性别奖学金的“易读”概述。就我个人而言,我会向大学最后几年的本科生或希望专门从事性别研究的研究生推荐这个,而不是那些刚接触性别理论的人。这本书的范围非常全面,涵盖了性别理论的社会、经济、政治、关系和全球层面。由于对这样一本短书的理解水平,对于非专业观众或那些不熟悉性别哲学和社会理论的人来说,它可能会令人费解。确实,这不是关于性别奖学金的“易读”概述。就我个人而言,我会向大学最后几年的本科生或希望专门从事性别研究的研究生推荐这个,而不是那些对性别理论不熟悉的人。这本书的范围非常全面,涵盖了性别理论的社会、经济、政治、关系和全球层面。由于对这样一本短书的理解水平,对于非专业观众或那些不熟悉性别哲学和社会理论的人来说,它可能会令人费解。确实,这不是关于性别奖学金的“易读”概述。就我个人而言,我会向大学最后几年的本科生或希望专门从事性别研究的研究生推荐这个,而不是那些对性别理论不熟悉的人。这不是关于性别奖学金的“易读”概述。就我个人而言,我会向大学最后几年的本科生或希望专门从事性别研究的研究生推荐这个,而不是那些刚接触性别理论的人。这不是关于性别奖学金的“易读”概述。就我个人而言,我会向大学最后几年的本科生或希望专门从事性别研究的研究生推荐这个,而不是那些对性别理论不熟悉的人。
