Feminist Anthropology and Copyright
Gauging the Application and Limitations of Oppositions Models
From: Intellectual Property for the 21st Century
$1.90
The purpose of this brief chapter is to explore the application of interdisciplinarity to intellectual property law, specifically copyright law, through the lens of feminist critiques. The paper attempts to demonstrate how the application and limitation of the two oppositions models offered by feminist anthropology intersect with copyright law. Specifically, drawing on examples from what is considered to be traditionally feminine areas of creativity, the paper broadly examines the values we associate with women, what they create, and how it is perceived and valued before the law.
