How does Adolf Loos objectify Josephine Baker in House for Josephine Baker? INTRODUCTION Gender, its roles and norms are a fundamental aspect of society and help to categorise our lives. Architecture serves as the setting our lives play out in and these two parts of our society affect each other implicitly. As feminist discourse has risen up in the late 19th century to now, more literature exploring the relationship between gender and architecture has been published. By analysing an architectural project, we discover the roles and stereotypes that appear in our society subliminally and how they play out in the buildings we inhabit.

Patriarchy is rooted in gender difference. Lerner (1986) relates gender issues to social construct and cultural behaviour as opposed to biological sexes in a given society. The author described gender as representation socio-cultural roles and is a cultural product which changes over time. Patriarchy might be a diminishing believes, but since it’s a deeply entrenched traditional norms, it will be a difficult challenge to eliminate globally (Warren, 2004; Roberts, 1983). Inhumanity and social studies patriarchy have been categorise at two levels, namely at gender level and latent levels.

The difference not biological but those that resulted from the unequal distribution of socially produced goods and services on the basis of position in global system, caste, class, race, ethnicity, religion, age and affectional preference. These factors interact with gender stratification. Hence several studies have come up with topic like “gender and race”, “gender and global location”, “gender and caste etc. These studies show an intricately inter-woven system of caste, class, race, gender and global expression and privileges.

Queer theory was developed by Judith Butler in her post-modern feminist text, “Gender Trouble: feminism and the subversion of identity” (Horitar, 2015). She discussed the role that gender and sexual orientation play in the way in which society uses this concepts in order to place individuals in a specific category on the basis on how they behave (Guantlett, 1998; Horitar, 2015). This theory examines the diverse ways in which current beliefs serves to reintegrate societal anticipations of gender identity, appearance and sexuality, it also offers a negotiation for the fragmentation of constructed gender categories (Horitar, 2015). According to Western society, sex defines your particular gender (feminine or masculine) which in turn defines your true identity, for example a biological female is considered to be a women who is anticipated, by their society, to be more sensitive and nurturing than a man and who needs a sensual relationship with the opposite sex (Horitar, 2015). This notion was rejected by Butler because according to her gender should be regarded as a performance and not as a category (Guantlett, 1998; Horitar, 2015).

With The Yellow Wallpaper, the author attempts to demonstrate the importance of the feminist movement by showing the suffering women have to endure under the current gender roles.

In other words, this means that gender roles are either supported or attacked in a piece of literature.

The aim of this paper is to draw out the implications of liberal feminist framework for the analysis of education. Doing this paper will discuss its conceptual basis, its typical educational objectives, strategies for change and criticism of the approach. Feminist theoretical framework addresses the question of women’s subordination to men: how this arose, how and why it is perpetuated, how it might be changed and (sometimes) what life would be without it. Middle range theories may be less dramatic and consider particular aspect of gender relation and specific sectors of life such as education, the family or politics. Feminist theories serve a dual purpose, as guides to understanding gender inequality and as a guide to action.
