Strathern's "partial connections"
 

Strathern uses "partial connections" as a way to complicate the idea of coherent "cultural packages"
 
Mol 80: "Strathern gives the example of the scholar who is simultaneously a feminist and an anthropologist [...] Not two different persons or one person divided into two. But they are partially connected, more than one, and less than many."
 
Mol repeats, for emphasis: "More than one and less than many" (emphasis in original, 82)
