GENERALIST SOCIOLOGY AND FEMINIST SOCIOLO GY - SOCIAL-RELATIONS BETWEEN THE SEXES IN THE PROFESSIONAL FIELD OF SOCIOLOGY

As in every professional field, social relations between the sexes ope rate in that field of sociology which analyzes them. Male domination p ractices and sex solidarity within the men's group result in a structu ring of the discipline that opposes ''generalist'' sociology to a femi nist sociology reduced to a particularist point of view. Behind the di vision of the discipline into ''scientific fields'' looms the sexual d ivision of labor and a corresponding partitioning of territories.
