This book was released on 2023-12-08 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Por qué es relevante y necesario en el actual contexto político y social un libro sobre masculinidades? Ocurre que las luchas de mujeres, de los feminismos, transfeminismos y del movimiento LGBTIQ+, invitan a complejizar la jerarquía de género e interpelan y desafían a los varones a pensarse y a producirse de un modo más sensible, más solidario, reconociéndose parte de una comunidad de iguales donde estén presentes otras masculinidades. Hay allí una potencia que impulsa a deconstruir y a desnaturalizar la dominación patriarcal. ¿Es posible una transformación social de las masculinidades? ¿ Son posibles masculinidades justas e igualitarias que contribuyan a la emancipación de las mujeres pero también de aquellos varones que sufren de la discriminación patriarcal? El desafío es producir masculinidades inscriptas en un horizonte de corresponsabilidad y cuidado, empatía y solidaridad con otros varones, con las mujeres, con lxs oprimidxs y explotadxs por el capitalismo patriarcal tan vigente en nuestros días. Interpelaciones, cuestionamientos, rupturas con el modelo de masculinidad hegemónica y su posición social y política dominante de los hombres sobre las mujeres y de ciertos hombres sobre aquellos que no se sienten representados y alojados en la masculinidad que la sociedad capitalista patriarcal consagra. La obra que aquí presentamos, La Masculinidad como tema de las Ciencias Sociales. Herramientas y miradas para su intervención, compilada por Ariel Sanabria, reúne un conjunto de trabajos que buscan reflexionar acerca de la intervención del trabajador social y de cómo operan las masculinidades en el momento mismo de intervenir. Ante la urgencia de definir una agenda propia, este material se torna indispensable para interpelar las subjetividades masculinizadas y colonizadas por el neoliberalismo patriarcal. Se trata de una invitación a pensar la relevancia de la temática relativa a las masculinidades en el campo de las ciencias sociales con el propósito de ir delineando marcos de interpretación y categorías otras que colaboren con una nueva problematización de las posiciones subjetivas de los varones.
Download or read book Nuevas masculinidades written by Angels Carabí and published by Icaria Editorial. This book was released on 2000 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aunque el «hombre» ha sido siempre el termino neutro de la humanidad, los estudios de género demuestran que «no se nace hombre, uno se convierte en hombre», es decir, que el patrón masculino se conforma según una construcción cultural. Tanto en España como en otros países, han surgido grupos de investigación sobre la condición masculina que ponen en cuestión dicho modelo. Este libro, segundo de la serie Mujeres y culturas, pretende no sólo efectuar una crítica de la masculinidad tradicional, considerada hoy en día por muchos como represiva y nociva tanto para los hombres como para las mujeres, sino también aportar sugerencias para establecer las estrategias que necesita la construcción de nuevas masculinidades más libres, ricas y plurales. Reúne ensayos que parten de la psicología, la filosofía, los estudios culturales y el análisis fílmico para dar una visión global y constructiva de este debate.
Download or read book Hombres written by Juan Blanco López and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los estudios de género, en la actualidad, no se centran tanto en la mujer o en el hombre como en el sistema de relaciones a través de las cuales se han ido construyendo y modificando las nociones de masculinidad y feminidad. Este libro pretende contribuir a la reflexión y al debate sobre la significación actual de la masculinidad y sobre el alcance de dicha noción con vistas al futuro. Para ello se profundizará en ámbitos como la sexualidad, los espacios de trabajo, los rituales, la publicidad, los valores... Contextos y espacios en los que se modelan determinadas formas de ser hombres, en los que se crean y recrean toda una serie de contradicciones y similitudes entre los modelos socialmente impuestos y las prácticas cotidianas.

Book excerpt: En las dos últimas décadas y, en gran parte, como consecuencia del auge de los movimientos feministas, se ha experimentado un gran crecimiento de la investigación social sobre el género.

Los temas principales que trata son: El hombre en el marco doméstico, las relaciones hombre-Mujer, la sexualidad masculina, la variación de las características de la masculinidad según la raza, por último explora las posibles futuras direcciones de los "estudios sobre el hombre"
Download or read book Masculinidades written by Juan Carlos Ramírez Rodríguez and published by Plaza y Valdés Editores. This book was released on 2009 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las violencias ejercidas y autoejercidas cobran una nueva voz en el estudio de Juan Carlos Ramírez, nos obligan a mirar donde no queremos, a romper con la comodidad que proporciona una realidad dicotómica: de un lado el mal, del otro el bien; de un lado los dominadores y de otro, las dominadas, criaturas abandonadas a su propio destino. El lector se verá enfrentado -de manera poco habitual- a un mundo sacudido por las contradicciones. El autor fuerza a preguntarse por el sentido de la "normalidad" y va deconstruyendo una a una las coartadas en torno a lo que hoy significa construir una identidad de género. Es inevitable experimentar, junto con el autor,el vértigo que produce adentarse en las aguas profundas de la cultura de la violencia sin el recurso fácil de apelar a las imágenes conocidas o naturalizadas;por el contrario, los protagonistas de este libro son seres que de entrada no se asumen violentos y es ese uno de los principales méritos de esta imprescindible etnografía: reconstruir la trama sutil que vuelve difusos los límites entre lo violento y lo no violento. No hay juicios, no hay diagnósticos, hay una densa y profunda descripción, un fino análisis de los dispositivos a través de los cuales nos producimos como actores sociales.
Download or read book Girls Boys Books Toys written by Beverly Lyon Clark and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000-10-24 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No previous collection of criticism has focused on gender in the broad range of children's literature. No previous collection has embraced both children's literature and material culture. Beverly Lyon Clark and Margaret R. Higonnet bring together twenty-two scholars to look closely at the complexities of children's culture. Girls, Boys, Books, Toys asks questions about how the gender symbolism of children's culture is constructed and resisted. What happens when women rewrite (or illustrate) nursery rhymes, adventure stories, and fairy tales told by men? How do the socially scripted plots for boys and girls change through time and across cultures? Have critics been blind to what women write about "masculine" topics? Can animal tales or doll stories displace tired commonplaces about gender, race, and class? Can different critical approaches—new historicism, narratology, or postcolonialism—enable us to gain leverage on the different implications of gender, age, race, and class in our readings of children's books and children's culture?
Download or read book Psychopathology in Women written by Margarita Sáenz-Herrero and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender has a fundamental influence on the human brain, not only by virtue of biological and hormonal differences between the sexes but also because of the impact of gender-specific cultural, social, anthropological and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the relation of gender and psychopathology remains a largely neglected field. Gender perspective has been treated as a paradigm in this book on psychopathology because it determines the way in which a psychiatric symptom is defined, perceived and understood. This conception of gender as being of key importance in the definition of psychiatric symptomatology is exceptional in the literature. The book opens by examining historical and cultural aspects of mental health in women worldwide and the relation of sex, brain and gender, with coverage of both neurobiological and psychosocial aspects. The significance of gender with regard to specific aspects of psychopathology is then addressed in detail. A wide range of psychological disorders are considered, as well as hormonal influences and issues concerning body image, self identity, sexuality and life instinct. It is hoped that this book will make a significant contribution in ensuring that gender perspective receives due attention within descriptive psychopathology.
Download or read book The Fantasy of Individuality written by Almudena Hernando and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enlightenment promised humanity a bright future of emancipation which never actuallymaterialized. Instead, our social order is still based on gender inequality, which rests upon afalse conviction: that the individual can be conceived of as separate from community; that the more individualized a person is, the less they need to establish links with their community to feel safe; and that the more they use reason to build a relationship with the world, the less they need emotions. Th is conviction, which guides the ideals of our social system, is based on a fantasy: the fantasy of individuality. This volume is a step in fleshing out the historical reasons for gender inequality from theorigins of humankind to present times in the Western world. It is a theoretically-informedand up-to-date overview of the history of gender inequality that takes as its starting pointthe mechanisms through which human beings construct their self-identity.Starting from a peripheral, interdisciplinary and heterodox perspective, this book intends toappraise the complexity of gender identity in all its richness and diversity. It seeks to understand the persistence of relationality in supposedly fully individualized male selves, and the construction of new forms of individuality among women that did not follow the masculine model. It is argued here that by balancing community and self beyond the contradictions of hegemonic masculinity, modern women are struggling to build a new, more empowering form of personhood. The author is an archaeologist, who uses her discipline not only to provide data, theory anda long-term perspective, but also in a metaphorical sense: to construct a socio-historicalgenealogy of current gender systems, through an examination of how personhood and self- identity have been constructed in the Western world.
Download or read book Abortion and Democracy written by Barbara Sutton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion politics in Latin America’s Southern Cone, with lessons and insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region’s recent history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, the book’s contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes, and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics, digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building, affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis, from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin America, gender and sexuality, and women’s rights.

Download or read book Pathways of Desire written by Héctor Carrillo and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Pathways of Desire, Héctor Carrillo brings us into the lives of Mexican gay men who have left their home country to pursue greater sexual autonomy and sexual freedom in the United States. The groundbreaking ethnographic study brings our attention to the full arc of these men’s migration experiences, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns, to their cross-border journeys, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men’s diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual, economic, and familial motivations for migration. Further, Carrillo shows that sexual globalization must be regarded as a bidirectional, albeit uneven, process of exchange between countries in the global north and the global south. With this approach, Carrillo challenges the view that gay men from countries like Mexico would logically want to migrate to a “more sexually enlightened” country like the United States—a partial and limited understanding, given the dynamic character of sexuality in countries such as Mexico, which are becoming more accepting of sexual diversity. Pathways of Desire also provides a helpful analytical framework for the simultaneous consideration of structural and cultural factors in social scientific studies of sexuality. Carrillo explains the patterns of cross-cultural interaction that sexual migration generates and—at the most practical level—shows how the intricacies of cross-cultural sexual and romantic relations may affect the sexual health and HIV risk of transnational immigrant populations.

Book excerpt: The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter’s fidelity to the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.
