Abstract

Megan Jennaway's theoretical framework in the first half of sisters and lovers: women and desire in bali, fuses feminist anthropology, Marxist power asymmetry discourse, and postmodernist concerns of representation and reflexivity. She posits that sexuality and desire have not been explored in Anthropology until recently because they have traditionally been relegated to biological realms and because they are tabooed subjects in many cultures. Most importantly, however, she maintains that sexuality has not been explored because of a male bias in Anthropology. Production of traditional ethnographies entailed a western male anthropologist studying the "other" through a western male lens. Their informants, likewise, tended to be males because "men talk to other men" (Jennaway, 61) as Jennaway expresses. Moreover, women, who were often essentialized as shy, vulnerable, or unapproachable, were difficult to engage in conversation on male-centric topics.
