Françoise Héritier, the ethnologist and anthropologist

How has domination in the relations between men and women been a social construct, even to the extent of affecting their physical differences? Where do our representations of kinship and marriage come from? Are they subject to universal laws? Françoise Héritier explored questions like these, among many others, throughout her illustrious career as an anthropologist and ethnologist, from her early days carrying out fieldwork in Africa to her position at the Collège de France. Through a series of portraits and documents, come and learn about this socially-engaged researcher, viewed by Claude Lévi-Strauss as his successor.
