Abstract

In the text referring to sexuality, the focus is on determining theoretical strategies in anthropological research, in which, in the center of researcher attention is the local system of sex/genderness in the Roma community in Skopje. Although anthropology is a discipline that offers a wide range of opportunities for theoretical solutions, with all its strengths and weaknesses, we will try, in a summarized form, to give theoretical guidance as possible design.
