Abstract

Although in recent years scholars have explored the cultural construction of masculinity, they have largely ignored the ways in which masculinity intersects with other categories of identity, particularly those of race and ethnicity. The essays in Race and the Subject of Masculinities address this concern and focus on the social construction of masculinity - black, white, ethnic, gay, and straight - in terms of the often complex and dynamic relationships among these inseparable categories.

Abstract

Postmodern Fairy Tales seeks to understand the fairy tale not as children's literature but within the broader context of folklore and literary studies. It focuses on the narrative strategies through which women are portrayed in four classic stories: "Snow White," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Bluebeard." Bacchilega traces the oral sources of each tale, offers a provocative interpretation of contemporary versions by Angela Carter, Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, Margaret Atwood, and Tanith Lee, and explores the ways in which the tales are transformed in film, television, and musicals.

Abstract

Sinds jaar en dag zijn psychologen en de publieke opinie gefascineerd door het idee dat er verschillen bestaan in aanleg tot kennisverwerving tussen mannen en vrouwen. Het onderzoek spitst zich dan meestal toe op de verschillen in verbale aanleg, wiskundig en ruimtelijk inzicht. Van vrouwen wordt gezegd dat ze verbaler zijn dan mannen, mannen daarentegen zouden wiskundig begaafder zijn. Zijn deze beweringen juist? En als ze juist zijn, waar komen deze verschillen dan vandaan? Zijn ze biologisch bepaald, of door invloeden tijdens de kindertijd? Of zijn het eerder culturele stereotyperingen? Indien deze beweringen echter niet juist zouden zijn, waarom blijft men deze onderscheiden dan maken? Op al deze vragen wordt in dit boek dieper ingegaan.
