Opis

Amazed at the stubborn nature of the sexual division of labour in modern society, five Norwegian researchers set out to explore the sources of this pervasive resistance to change. Moving from the neutral concepts of work and money, the lofty notions of love and family and the triviality of domestic organization, social science is made to yield some surprising insights into hidden, secret, and perhaps even sacred structures of everyday life. A claim in this book is that the practical arrangement in the family is informed by the erotic properties of work and semi-religious notions of poverty and dirt - and is sustained by both sexes. It seeks to reveal some perplexing aspects of contemporary self-understanding, and to rediscover sexual meaning as a pillar of modern culture. The book is an invitation to reconsider the conditions for gender equality, and to explore further the cultural tangle behind this persistent tolerance for injustice within European thinking.
