This paper analyses what effect an application of a specific poststructural feminist theory has on the Swedish classification system SAB. The purpose is to study if it is possible to open up the current representation of gender towards a more multiple one. The study is both theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part include a short presentation of both classification theory and feminist theory. The study also presents the critic that poststructual feminists submit. Hope A Olson, a scientist from Canada is the creator of the theory model which is used in the paper. The empirical part include an practical application and study of the theory model on the SAB classification system. A short comparing study between Olsons work with the this paper is also presented in the end. It turned out that an direct application was not possible because of the two classifications systems major differences. The conclusion is though that the spatial theory model works and actually creates a larger representation of gender. However when it comes to the more detailed applications, the scientist must create a work process that is adjust to the Swedish classification system.
