Abstract

The election of an unabashedly patriarchal man as US President was a shock for many--despite decades of activism on gender inequalities and equal rights, how could it come to this? What is it about patriarchy that seems to make it so resilient and resistant to change? Undoubtedly it endures in part because some people benefit from the unequal advantages it confers. But is that enough to explain its stubborn persistence? In this highly original and persuasively argued book, Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider put forward a different view: they argue that patriarchy persists because it serves a psychological function. By requiring us to sacrifice love for the sake of hierarchy, patriarchy protects us from the vulnerability of loving and becomes a defense against loss. Uncovering the powerful psychological mechanisms that underpin patriarchy, the authors show how forces beyond our awareness may be driving a politics that otherwise seems inexplicable.

Abstract

In the Anglo-Atlantic world of the late nineteenth century, groups of urban residents struggled to reconstruct their cities in the wake of industrialization and to create the modern city. New professional men wanted an orderly city that functioned for economic development. Women’s vision challenged the men’s right to reconstruct the city and resisted the prevailing male idea that women in public caused the city’s disorder.Constructing the Patriarchal City compares the ideas and activities of men and women in four English-speaking cities that shared similar ideological, professional, and political contexts. Historian Maureen Flanagan investigates how ideas about gender shaped the patriarchal city as men used their expertise in architecture, engineering, and planning to fashion a built environment for male economic enterprise and to confine women in the private home. Women consistently challenged men to produce a more equitable social infrastructure that included housing that would keep people inside the city, public toilets for women as well as men, housing for single, working women, and public spaces that were open and safe for all residents.

Abstract

Is de ontwikkeling van het kapitalisme een zegen of een vloek voor Afrikaanse vrouwen? Is er een verband tussen kapitalisme en patriarchaat of staan de twee volledig los van elkaar? Veel feministen evalueren het kapitalisme als uitgesproken negatief: kapitalisme genereert ongelijkheid, tussen klassen, tussen rassen maar ook tussen seksen. De auteur van dit boek is het niet eens met de stelling, deels ook uit pragmatische overwegingen, want of men dat nu wil of niet: het kapitalisme is ook voor Afrika de onontkoombare toekomst. Aan de hand van feministische theorieën, politieke economie en literatuur uit de wereld van gender en development toont de auteur aan dat er in een kapitalistische toekomst voor Afrika onverhoopt veel mogelijkheden voor vrouwen verscholen liggen.

Abstract

Since the #MeToo movement, the masculine exercise of power has been closely scrutinised. The focus on 'toxic' masculinity impacts our perception of male sexuality, which substantially influences the self-image and self-esteem of men. Men are being shamed by others, and they also feel ashamed. This book explores both positions, examining the representation of male sexuality, nudity, fatherhood, violence, rape, fascism and virility, and men and war from male as well as female perspectives. It presents artworks that deal with the intricacies and contradictions of these sociocultural constructs and realities, and combines scholarly essays with short stories and personal testimonies. - Exhibition: H401, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (23.10.2020 - 31.01.2021). Sinds de #metoo-beweging zijn vormen van mannelijk seksueel geweld en machtsmisbruik op grote schaal onder de loep genomen. De focus op ‘toxic masculinity’ heeft invloed op onze perceptie van mannelijke seksualiteit, die het zelfbeeld en het zelfrespect van mannen aanzienlijk beïnvloedt. Mannen worden door anderen beschaamd vanwege hun grensoverschrijdende en minachtende houding; en ze schamen zich intrinsiek voor hun eigen fouten of voor de virulente patronen en tradities binnen de ‘westerse’ opvatting van mannelijkheid.Shame! and Maculinity onderzoekt deze beide standpunten. Het bekijkt de representatie van verschillende aspecten rondom mannelijkheid, zoals seksualiteit, naaktheid, vaderschap, mannelijk geweld, verkrachting, fascisme en mannen en oorlog. Het boek toont verschillende kunstwerken die de finesses en tegenstrijdig-heden inherent aan deze sociaal-culturele constructies en realiteiten adresseren.Shame! and Masculinity is hybride in genre; korte verhalen worden gecombineerd met wetenschappelijke essays, persoonlijke getuigenissen en provocerende en intieme kunstenaarsbijdragen. Het boek reflecteert op de vele betekenissen van mannelijkheid, vanuit uiteenlopende perspectieven. Deze ‘mannelijkheids’-kwesties, die een pregnante rol spelen in de hedendaagse samenleving, maar ook in onze persoonlijke ervaring, in de geschiedenis en in ons eigen lichaam, worden zo gedifferentieerd onderzocht om zo ruim baan te bieden aan andere, en nieuwe vormen van verbeelding.Dit is het tweede deel in de PLURAL-serie. PLURAL richt zich op de intersectie tussen identiteit, macht, representatie en emancipatie, en hoe die tot uiting komt binnen de kunsten en in andere culturele praktijken. De PLURAL-delen willen recht doen aan de veelheid van stemmen, ervaringen en perspectieven in de samenleving en in de kunsten, met nieuwe en kritische inzichten van cultuur- en sociale wetenschappers, kunstenaars, activisten, kunstprofessionals en theoretici. Daarmee wil de serie zowel de geschiedenis, de hedendaagse en toekomstige betekenis van deze diverse posities en hun onderlinge relaties aan de orde stellen. Feminist Art Activisms and Artivisms (Valiz, 2020) is het eerste boek in de PLURAL-reeks.
