Od wiedzy instytucji do wiedzy terenu - w stronę demokratycznego wytwarzania wiedzy na temat kobiet świadczących usługi seksualne
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2012) Dziuban, Agata; Ratecka, Anna
In our article we critically examine institutionalized forms of knowledge concerning female sex workers. Referring to our knowledge gathered during field work concerning situation of female sex workers in Poland and experiences as streetworkers associated with non-governmental organization, we have distinguished two disparate kinds of knowledge concerning female sex workers. On the one hand, we have identified »institutional knowledge«, exterior to them and created without their participation by the academic institutions, enforcement agencies (the police, prosecution) and aid institutions (governmental and non-governmental), and - on the other hand - »field knowledge«, constructed in a dialogue with female sex workers in the process of social work, particularly streetwork. The main difference between those two types of knowledge lies in the power relations intrinsic to the process of knowledge production, interests realized through this process and actions undertaken as its consequence.

Pomiędzy esencjalizmem a konstruktywizmem. Płeć (kulturowa) w refleksji teoretycznej socjologii - przegląd koncepcji
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2012) Leszczyńska, Katarzyna; Dziuban, Agata
In this paper the authors take up the attempt to identify the main theoretical tracks of gender categories, which were initially present in the classical sociology, and then in the singled out specialized contemporary sociological subdisciplines. In the paper the transformations within the sociological conceptualization of gender arc presented as the peculiar de-essentialisation. The expression of dc-csscntialising of gender can be noticed in the gradual departing from its biological and naturalistic understanding, which is grounded in the classical reflection of sociology, towards the defining gender in the social and cultural categories (gender roles, power relations, interactions) and finally towards general dcconstmction of the all essential concepts of sexual and gender identities.
