Reading the roles of the gender perspective fron theory of Michel Foucault

Abstract

The concern of this article is the study of the roles of power in gender relations under the light of Michel Foucault´s theory. To achieve this purpose, an approach derivated from the critical social psychology is taken as a theoretical proposal, highlighting the role of the subject in the relational construction of knowledge and power. Subsequently, it enriches the analysis of power with gender theorys, contrasted with Foucault's proposal, on the grounds that, for the analysis of micro social relations, this perspective resolves and develops core aspects in the interrelations of the subjects.
