    The simultaneity of stability and change in gender relations - contributions from Giddens' structuration theory
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2012) Kahlert, Heike
    The paper aims, first, to outline a theoretical frame that can be used to explain the simultaneity of stability and change in gender relations and, second, to open a discussion on the theoretical and methodological potential of Anthony Giddens' social theory of structuration for women's and gender studies. After a reflection of Giddens' remarks on the status of gender in sociological theorising and on the reception of his social theory in women's and gender studies, the author gives a short outline of his theoretical core concept of the »duality of structure«. Then she rethinks this concept from a gender perspective and develops the concept of the »duality of gender«. Finally the author discusses how the concept of the duality of gender can be used for social analysis.
