This paper aims to show how Anthony Giddens, who is one of the most famous sociologists in modern sociology, has coped with problems in constructing the sociology of the body. First, it is showed that he elaborated `body' as a theoretical concept and discussed theoretical points concerning it in the structuration theory (his general social theory). Second, through investigating his theory of modern societies, we find various aspects of body problems in high modernity, problems of body regimes and of the reproduction of the body. Third, by analyzing the contents of his textbook Sociology, which has been revised six times, we show details and particulars in the process in which he has constructed the sociology of the body.

We are faced with three problems which are interrelated, when we try to construct the sociology of gender-problems. First, what areas does it cover, and what position does it occupy in the system of sociology? Second, how can it be constructed systematically? Third, how can gender-inequalities be analysed, which is one of central problems in it? This paper discusses these problems and comes to some conclusions as follows while centrally referring to recent works of Anthony Giddens, who is one of the most important sociologists in modern British sociology. First, the sociology of gender-problems deals with making of gender, patriarchy, gender-inequalities, sexuality, AIDS, and prostitution, etc. Second, it covers every area in the system of sociology, and it has the system which is from action and interaction to structure and change in various social areas. Third, when we analyse gender-inequlities, we must focus on how sexuality, gender, and inequality are interrelated.
