Abstract
HEILBORN, Maria Luiza. Gênero e hierarquia. A costela de Adão revisitada. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 1993, vol.01, n.01, pp.50-82. ISSN 1806-9584.
The author identifies in Louis Dumont's theory of hierarchy the premisses for the symbolic matrix of asymmetry that orders gender relations. The symbolic properties that are peculiar to the constitution of masculin and feminin are phenomena from the hierarchical relationship between genders. Maria Luiza Heilborn than seeks to interpretate how gender asymmetry operates or how sexual difference is reestablished in a social context that denies hierarchy and affirms an egalitarian ideology, as In the case for a serie of heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples, the objet of her study.
