Abstract

Japanese men are becoming cool. The suit-and-tie salaryman remodels himself with beauty treatments and 'cool biz' fashion. Loyal company soldiers are reborn as cool, attentive fathers. Hip hop dance is as manly as martial arts. Could it even be cool for middle-aged men to idolize teenage girl popstars? This collection of studies from the University of Cambridge provides fascinating insights into the contemporary lives of Japanese men as it looks behind the image of 'Cool Japan.'

Abstract

The Psychology of Sex and Gender meets the needs of gender science today, providing students with fresh, contemporary examples, balanced coverage of men and women, and a grounding in psychological science. The dynamic author team of Jennifer K. Bosson, Joseph A. Vandello, and Camille E. Buckner presents classic and cutting-edge research findings, historical contexts, examples from popular culture, cross-cultural universality and variation, and coverage of nonbinary identities, for a full, vibrant picture of the field. In keeping with the growing scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), the authors ask students in every chapter to identify and evaluate their own myths and misconceptions, participate in real-world debates on topics at the forefront of the field, and stop to think critically along the way. Students will be talking about this book long after they finish the course, carrying new skills forward into their lives and future careers.

Abstract

In kaum einer Disziplin divergieren wissenschaftlicher Forschungs- und öffentlicher Kenntnisstand so stark wie bei dem Thema Genderlinguistik. Dies liegt unter anderem daran, dass es bislang keine Einführung gibt, die Verständlichkeit mit wissenschaftlichem Anspruch verbindet. 0Dieses Studienbuch richtet sich an Studierende und Lehrende der Germanistischen Linguistik und anderer Philologien. Es bietet eine fundierte, und dabei stets verständliche Einführung in das Thema sowie einen Überblick über die aktuelle Forschungslage. Behandelt werden alle Bereiche der Systemlinguistik sowie der Sozio- und Gesprächslinguistik. Das inhaltliche Spektrum reicht von stimmlichen Unterschieden, dem Komplex Genus Sexus Gender und Personennamen über die Konstruktion von Geschlecht in Wörterbüchern bis hin zu Unterschieden in Gesprächen, auch in der Scherz- und der institutionellen Kommunikation. Es schließt mit einem Kapitel zu den Neuen Medien, in denen zunehmend genderisierte Selbstdarstellungen zu beobachten sind. Eine umfangreiche Bibliographie bietet eine gute Grundlage für die weitere wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema.

Abstract

In Theorizing intersectionality and sexuality worden politieke, conceptuele en methodologische vraagstukken rond intersectionaliteit opnieuw onderzocht door ze deze keer te linken aan seksualiteitsstudies. De auteurs in deze bijdrage onderschrijven één voor één de ruime waaier aan mogelijkheden die intersectionaliteitsanalyses bieden - of kunnen bieden - aan onderzoek binnen seksualiteitsstudies. Er wordt met dit boek voornamelijk getracht een meer complex, divers en vooral ook meer veranderlijk beeld van seksuele identificaties en ongelijkheden weer te geven met een focus op hoe deze identificaties en ongelijkheden doorheen tijd en ruimte herhaaldelijk zijn gewijzigd en dat nog steeds aan het doen zijn.

Abstract

"Methodologically innovative in its use of mixed-media diary research, this timely book offers a focused sociological study of non-binary people's identities and experiences in the UK. From negotiating a sense of legitimacy when 'not feeling trans enough' to how identities can shift over time, it reveals important nuances of diverse gender identities while offering crucial insights into trans-related healthcare inequalities. The findings of this ground-breaking research mark an important contribution to the wider fields of gender studies, LGBTQ scholarship and medical policy." --

Abstract

This project is an attempt to challenge the canonical gender concept while trying to specify what gender was in the medieval and early modern world. Despite the emphasis on individual, identity and difference that past research claims, much of this history still focuses on hierarchical or dichotomous paring of masculinity and femininity (or male and female). The emphasis on differences has been largely based on the research of such topics as premarital sex, religious deviance, rape and violence; these are topics that were, in the early modern society, criminal or at least easily marginalizing. The central focus of the book is to test, verify and challenge the methodology and use the concept(s) of gender specifically applicable to the period of great change and transition. The volume contains two theoretical sections supplemented by case-studies of gender through specific practices such as mysticism, witchcraft, crime, and legal behaviour. The first section, "Concepts", analyzes certain useful notions, such as patriarchy and morality. The second section, "Identities", seeks to deepen this analysis into the studies of female identities in various situations, cultures and dimensions and to show the fluidity and flexibility of what is called femininity nowadays. The third part, "Practises", seeks to rethink the bigger narratives through the case-studies coming from Northern Europe to see how conventional ideas of gender did not work in this particular region. The case studies also challenge the established narratives in such well-research historiographies as witchcraft and sexual offences and at the same time suggest new insights for the developing fields of study, such as history of homicide.

Abstract

This is a book about the multi-faceted notion of gender. Gender differences form the basis for family life, patterns of socialization, distribution of tasks, and spheres of responsibilities. The way gender is articulated shapes the world of individuals, and of the societies they live in. Gender has three faces: Linguistic Gender-the original sense of 'gender'-is a feature of many languages and reflects the division of nouns into grammatical classes or genders (feminine, masculine, neuter, and so on); Natural Gender, or sex, refers to the division of animates into males and females; and Social Gender reflects the social implications and norms of being a man or a woman (or perhaps something else). Women and men may talk and behave differently, depending on conventions within the societies they live in, and their role in language maintenance can also vary. The book focuses on how gender in its many guises is reflected in human languages, how it features in myths and metaphors, and the role it plays in human cognition. Examples are drawn from all over the world, with a special focus on Aikhenvald's extensive fieldwork in Amazonia and New Guinea.--
