Abstract

The future is now—and it is female. Women and women’s rights are the key to progress. We believe in the West that we have already solved gender issues; it is the rest of the world that still has a problem. Nothing could be further from the truth! We have to do better. Through his work as Deputy Prime Minister and Belgian Minister of International Development, Alexander De Croo has discovered that the role of women worldwide is filled with too little opportunity and too much bias. In this book, he makes an impassioned plea for gender equality with data and stories to demonstrate the far-reaching benefits.

Abstract

Although women were called the "pious sex" much earlier, it was during the nineteenth century, when the differences between men and women were being made more explicit, that an intense bond between women and religion was developed. Religiosity was thought to be a 'natural' part of femininity and turned religious masculinity into an oddity. This clear-cut gender ideology, however, remains an ideology (prescribed and contested) that needs to be put in the perspective of its context of origin, the bourgeois milieu. How were these gender identities constructed and by whom? Tine Van Osselaer seeks to clarify how the gender differentiation was created among Belgian Catholics. She brings to light the extent to which religiosity was inscribed in these constructions and how religious teachings contributed to it. It is clear that the limitations of the "feminization" thesis, a master narrative that has strongly contributed to the introduction of women in religious history, have gradually become more visible. Documenting pastoral care, the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Catholic Action, this book offers critical commentaries on the master narratives, suggesting that even men could belong to a "pious sex".

Abstract

Het op biologische gronden gedefinieerde sekseonderscheid, zoals wij dit vandaag kennen, is niet van alle tijden. Pas vanaf de zeventiende eeuw werden 'mannelijkheid' en 'vrouwelijkheid' als lichamelijk gedetermineerde en elkaar wederzijds uitsluitende categorieën gedefinieerd. De doorbraak van het twee-seksenmodel hing samen met een zich wijzigende wetenschappelijke en politieke context. In 'Het lichaam (m/v)' exploreren 13 auteurs hoe in de loop der eeuwen op diverse terreinen zoals theologie, politiek, literatuur en beeldende kunsten, betekenissen werden toegekend aan het mannelijk en het vrouwelijk lichaam. Er wordt niet alleen onderzocht hoe een beroep op lichamelijke categorieën is gedaan om mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheid van elkaar te onderscheiden, maar ook hoe in nauw verband hiermee aan mannen en vrouwen specifieke rollen werden toegewezen.

Abstract

From the mid-nineteenth century, when the idea of religion as a private matter connected to the home and the female sphere won acceptance in the bourgeois cultural elite, Christian religious practices began to be associated with feminity and soft values. Today's scholars talk about a feminisation of religion, and contemporary critics claimed that religion was incompatible with true manhood. But was this really the case ? What expression took male religiosity at a time when Christianity gradually lost its former status as the natural foundation of society ? This is the starting point for the research presented in this book. Here we meet Catholic and Protestant men struggling with and for their Christian faith as priests, missionaries and laymen, and ideas and reflections on Christian masculinity in media, fiction and correspondence of various kinds. Social and missionary engagement on confessional grounds and strivings to harness the masculine combative spirit to Christian ends was the case for some, while others were eager to show the genuine male character of Christian virtues or emphasised their transcendent, gender-crossing dimensions. The book illustrates the importance of religion for the understanding of gender constructions but also the need to take into consideration confessional and institutional aspects of religious identity.

Abstract

Since the 1970s the feminization thesis has become a powerful trope in the rewriting of the social history of Christendom. However, this 'thesis'' has triggered some vehement debates, given that men have continued to dominate the churches, and the churches themselves have reacted to the association of religion and femininity, often formulated by their critics, by explicitly focusing their appeal to men. In this book the authors critically reflect upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relation to Christianity. By presenting case studies that adopt different gendered

Abstract

Vanaf het einde van de jaren tachtig kwam er - vooral in de Angelsaksische landen - binnen vrouwenstudies, geleidelijk meer aandacht voor onderzoek naar mannen en mannelijkheid. Met deze bundel wil het VUB-Centrum voor Vrouwenstudies in Vlaanderen een lans breken voor deze 'mannenstudies'. Het boek vat aan met twee bijdragen van buitenlandse experts. Ursula Müller maakt een stand van zaken op van het onderzoek naar mannelijkheid in Europa. Daaruit blijkt de heterogeniteit van zowel de behandelde thema's als de theoretische invalshoeken. Michael Kimmel illustreert de vervlechting van bedreigde mannelijkheid en de weerstand tegen globalisering aan de hand van rechtse politieke mannenbewegingen in Noord-Amerika, Europa en de islamitische wereld. Peter Verstraten breekt een lans voor de studie van mannelijkheid als een maskerade en veranderlijke maskerade, door te onderzoeken hoe het ideaalbeeld van mannelijkheid in de film - de cowboy - door ironie werd ondergraven, ironie die echter tegelijk haar kritische kracht is verloren. Ignace Glorieux en Suzanne Koelet behandelen vervolgens mannelijkheid in een context van relatievorming en vaderschap. Op basis van hun onderzoek naar tijdsbesteding en taak verdeling verwijzen de onderzoekers het beeld van de nieuwe man in Vlaanderen naar het rijk der fabels.Christiane Timmerman onderzocht ten slotte de motivaties en verwachtingen van Marokkaanse en Turkse nieuwkomers in Vlaanderen en stelt daarbij onder meer sterk gendergebonden verschillen vast.
