Alternatīvās vīrietības prakses
2017
Maģistra darba „Alternatīvās vīrietības prakses” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā tiek konstruētas tradicionālai vīrišķībai alternatīvas vīrietības; darba galvenie pētnieciskie jautājumi ir: kāpēc alternatīvās vīrietības tiek konstruētas, kādas jaunas nozīmes un prakses vīrieši saista ar savu vīrišķību, kā alternatīvo vīrietību konstruēšana ietekmē vīriešu ikdienas dzīvi un kādas ir ar to konstruēšanu saistītās problēmas. Pētījuma teorētiskajam ietvaram izmantoti dažadu vīriešu studiju pētnieku skatījumi uz maskulinitātēm, tostarp Reivinas Koneles idejas; alternatīvu vīrietību konstruēšanas kontekstā izmantota arī konvenciju teorija. Darbā izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētījumu metodes: empīriskie dati i…

"There Are No Women and They All Play Mercy" : Understanding and Explaining (the Lack of) Women’s Presence in Esports and Competitive Gaming
2018
In this paper, we explore women’s participation in esports and competitive gaming. We will analyze two different types of research material: online questionnaire responses by women explaining their reluctance to participate in esports, and online forum discussions regarding women’s participation in competitive Overwatch. We will examine the ways in which women’s participation – its conditions, limits and possibilities – are constructed in the discussions concerning women gamers, how women are negotiating their participation in their own words, and in what ways gender may affect these processes. Our findings support those made in previous studies concerning esports and competitive gaming as …
LA VIOLENCIA CONTRA LAS MUJERES COMO PRUEBA DE MASCULINIDAD. REFLEXIONES SOCIO-CRIMINOLÓGICAS
2021
Research typically employs essentialist and static representations of masculinity to deal with of male violence against women. Masculinity is thereby linked to pre-social phenomena, naturalized categories, and to identity configurations that are defined as dangerous, due to biological, ethno-racial or class characteristics/configurations.

We will thus re-read the issue of violence against women as a male problem, that is, a…
