Płeć kulturowa a przestrzeń społeczna

Abstrakt

This work is an attempt to apply Florian Znaniecki’s concept of human ecology to an analysis of the functioning and transformation of a patriarchal society. It tackles the issue of the spatial aspects of how a patriarchy functions, whose identification – and especially their sociological description and explanation – become possible or more comprehensive using the said concept. These issues are (1) the impact of gender on the experience of the space and (2) gender communities vs. space – the socio-spatial manifestations of the social balancing of the status of men and women. The author’s reflection is theoretical and concerns the patriarchal model of society.
