It is argued that multiple discourses and discursive practices pertaining to similar topics co-exist within any one society and that these may be constituted through symmetrical or asymmetrical relations. Drawing upon some ideas by Alfred Gell about the nature of relations, I use the concept of androgyny. By this is meant that certain persons (but not all) and certain items (but not all) contain within them the potentiality for emerging in certain contexts as gendered in a male or female mode. Gender is then not only relational, but also processual. These selected persons and things can do so only by virtue of their position in the relational system of the Lio which, in turn, is cosmologically constituted.
