Margaret Mead (1901-1978): antropología de la posibilidad

José Antonio Méndez Sanz introduces us to Margaret Mead, a world-renowned anthropologist. With her own unique language and after extensive fieldwork, she tackles topics as controversial today as the relationship between sex and gender. Mead acknowledges a sexual dimorphism not linked to a common gender. Cultural diversity does not support this. The sex-gender correlation is not universal. This does not preclude the creation of an emancipatory anthropology, one that embraces the notions of possibility, plurality, and diversity, both at the individual and cultural levels. Her anthropology has a clearly exemplary, educational, liberating, and political purpose—precisely the kind that corresponds to an open and pluralistic human community.
