YTUARTE-NUNEZ, Claudia. Culture, ideology and gender in Tlaxcala. Nueva antropol [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.69, pp.61-81. ISSN 0185-0636.
In this article the author enquires about the relations between gender, economy, society and politics in the semi-rural state of Tlaxcala, Mexico. Gender is considered a meaningful concept as a result of the ethnographic research process. The data showed that in this society a great variety of social practices are organized through the logic of women and men roles and the relations between them. Ytuarte-Nuñez also noticed that the male figure is dominant in most social practices, for this reason this sex/gender system should be classified as a "patriarchy", a general principle that explains how many social practices are organized and structured.
Palavras-chave : gender; social organization; patriarchy; ideology; rural urban society.
