Abstract

Grayson Perry pense à la masculinité - ce que c’est, comment elle fonctionne, pourquoi on pense que les petits garçons sont faits de limaces et d’escargots - depuis qu’il est enfant. Maintenant, dans ce livre drôle et nécessaire, il se retourne pour regarder les hommes avec un œil clair et demander, quel genre d’hommes rendrait le monde meilleur, pour tout le monde ? Que se passerait-il si nous repensions la version ancienne, macho et dépassée de la virilité, et embrassions une idée différente de ce qui fait un homme ? En plus d’abandonner le stress induisant des coronaires d’être toujours « juste » et les vastes nouvelles options de garde-robe, le véritable avantage pourrait être qu’une masculinité nouvellement ajustée permettra aux hommes d’avoir de meilleures relations - et c’est le bonheur, non ? Grayson Perry admet qu’il n’est pas lui-même à l’abri des stéréotypes - comme disent les psychanalystes, « si vous le repérez, vous l’avez » - et ses pensées sur tout, du pouvoir à l’apparence physique, des émotions à un tout nouveau Manifeste pour les hommes, sont traversées avec honnêteté, tendresse et la conviction que, pour que tout le monde en bénéficie, l’amélioration de la masculinité doit être quelque chose que les hommes décident de faire eux-mêmes. Ils n’ont rien d’autre à perdre que leurs blocages.

Abstract

Exploring Masculinities: Identity, Inequality, Continuity, and Change is a comprehensive and contemporary reader for the growing field of men's and masculinities studies. It takes a conceptual approach by covering the wide range of scholarship being done on masculinities beyond the model of hegemonic masculinity. C.J. Pascoe and Tristan Bridges extend the boundaries of the field and provide a new framework for understanding masculinities studies. Rather than taking a topics-based approach to masculinity, Exploring Masculinities offers an innovative conceptual approach that enables students to study a given phenomenon from a variety of perspectives. It divides up the field in ways that provide accessible introductions to complex debates and key intra- and interdisciplinary distinctions. The book provides a portable set of conceptual tools on which scholars and students can rely to analyze masculinities in different contexts, time periods, and embodiments.

Abstract

This book explores new social ties and forms of intimate bonding. Social and personal relationships are being profoundly transformed by changing lifestyles triggered by perceived crises in family, community, work and leisure, and by developments in global media technologies. Are friendships now being authenticated as non-hierarchical and flexible? Deborah Chambers draws on debates in social, feminist and queer theory to assess emerging practice, values and representations about friendship as relations of power, identity and resistance. The book recenters personal relationships within social and cultural theory.

Abstract

Pursuing Whiteness in the Colonies offers a new comprehension of colonial history from below by taking remnants of individual agencies from a whiteness studies perspective. It highlights the experiences and perceptions of colonisers and how they portrayed and re-interpreted their identities in Africa. The transcolonial approach is based on egodocuments from Belgian, German and Swedish men and women who migrated to Central Africa for reasons like a love for adventure, social betterment, new gender roles, or the conviction that colonising was their patriotic duty. The author presents how colonisers constructed their whiteness in relation to the subalterns in everyday situations connected to friendship, animals, gender and food. White culture was often practiced to maintain the idea(l) of European supremacy, for example by upholding white dining cultures. The welcoming notion of 'breaking bread' was replaced by a dining culture that reinforced white identity and segregated white from non-white people. By combining colonial history with whiteness studies in an African setting the author provides a different understanding of imperial realities as they were experienced by colonisers in situ. Pursuing Whiteness in the Colonies offers a new comprehension of colonial history from below by taking remnants of individual agencies from a whiteness studies perspective. [...] By combining colonial history with whiteness studies in an African setting the author provides a different understanding of imperial realities as they were experienced by colonisers in situ. - Caroline Herfert für die: Forschungsstelle Hamburgs (post-)koloniales Erbe Die feinfühlige Beachtung der Widersprüche des alltäglichen Lebens jenseits der Verallgemeinerungen der Gesellschaftsanalyse verleiht dieser gut belegten Darstellung eine sehr nuancierte Dimension. - Jean-Luc Vellut, in: Historische Zeitschrift 309 (2019), S. 521f.

Abstract

Pouvait-on changer de genre au Moyen Âge ? Vivre en homme et devenir sainte ? Naître fille et finir chevalier ? Changer d'habits comme d'identité durant cette période dominée par la chrétienté ? Pour faire taire les idées reçues, Clovis Maillet démontre que les expériences de transidentité ne sont pas l'apanage de la modernité. Que le combat pour l'émancipation peut même passer par la réappropriation des figures de l'histoire. Ainsi l'héritage de Jeanne d'Arc est-il disputé à la droite nationaliste par les militants queer libertaires qui la considèrent, depuis la fin du XXe siècle, comme une guerrière transgenre. De Jeanne d'Arc à Hildegonde-Joseph en passant par Eugénie-Eugène, sainte Thècle ou le chevalier Silence, ce livre propose une réflexion sur le genre en retraçant une histoire trans de l'époque médiévale.
