Forbidden option or planned decision? Physically disabled women’s narratives on the choice of motherhood
2016
This narrative study explores personal narratives by disabled women on their choice to become a mother. Eleven Finnish physically disabled mothers were interviewed. The interview data were analysed using Greimas’ actant model. The women produced three types of narratives about their journeys to motherhood: compensation, forbidden option and planned choice. In these narratives, the disabled women struggled with the disabling, oversimplifying and suppressive cultural master narratives of ‘good’ motherhood. Through the narratives, the women distanced themselves from these dominant cultural narratives and constructed strong agency for themselves as mothers. peerReviewed
Dialogical Management of Morality in Domestic Violence Counselling
2001
Moral issues have rarely been an explicit topic when family violence has been discussed in psychological literature. This article contributes to this topic through a detailed analysis of the transcripts of a counselling session on domestic violence, with special emphasis placed on how complex issues of morality are dialogically managed by the participants. It is shown that the morality of counselling is not explicit, but is constructed by various cautious and indirect conversational devices. In the analysed conversation it was possible for the counsellor to ‘prescribe’ a normative morality only if this was done indirectly and discreetly. The function of these various delicate discursive te…

The analysis of open-minded attitudes towards sexuality in general requires a construct based on attitudinal dimensions. Although several existing studies involve sexual attitudes, they differ substantially and standardized conceptual work is missing. Thus, the authors introduce the latent variable sexual openness to develop a construct based on self-oriented attitudes towards different sexual topics. Available survey data of female German students in a steady relationship allowed providing a first empirical test for the applicability of this construct. Five subdimensions are acknowledged central for sexual openness: sexual practices, masturbation, bisexuality, permissiveness, and pornograp…
Satisfacción sexual femenina: influencia de la edad y variedad de prácticas sexuales
2018
La satisfacción sexual es la respuesta afectiva y emocional surgida de la evaluación de las interacciones sexuales personales y de la percepción de la consumación del deseo erótico. La satisfacción marital, definida como la actitud hacia la interacción marital y los aspectos emocionales y estructurales de la pareja, es considerada uno de los más fuertes predictores de la satisfacción sexual. Además, existen otras variables que pueden estar interviniendo en la satisfacción sexual y marital de las mujeres. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia de la edad y la variedad de prácticas sexuales y afectivas en la satisfacción sexual y marital de mujeres con pareja estable…
Wem fehlt‘s hier an Distanz? Über Gender Studies als Beruf
2019
Abstract This reply shares the standard set by the discussants that sociological observation – especially in Gender Studies – makes considerable demands with regard to perspective. However, the reply contests that the discussed paper lacks a tolerance of inequality or is politically predetermined. Indeed, in contrast, it is argued that Luhmann’s difference-theoretical thinking lacks empirical specificity and that data gathered in private settings make higher demands with regard to perspective: The professional observation of gender differentiation requires getting not only political, but especially cultural and familial perspective. These are found to be lacking in the discussants. Their st…
Undoing Differences Revisited.
2020
ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag nimmt einen Blick zurück nach vorn auf das Konzept des Undoing Differences. Er soll im Sinne eines theoretischen Zwischenfazits den Nutzen und die Grenzen des Konzepts bestimmen und es in eine neue Reihe von Konzepten eintragen, mit denen sich die Negation und die Indifferenz von Humandifferenzierungen soziologisch erschließen lassen. Der Aufsatz begegnet der (inter)aktionistischen Reichweitenlimitierung des Konzeptes mit seiner Einordnung in drei Zeitebenen negatorischer Prozesse: (1) situative (In)aktivitäten verschiedener Aktivitätsniveaus, (2) Subordination und normative Inhibierung in der Konkurrenz von Unterscheidungen sowie (3) historische Prozesse ihrer De…

Ni villanos ni heroínas: discursos sobre la infancia vulnerabilizada
2020
espanolEl proposito del articulo consiste en analizar los elementos ideologicos que atraviesan las politicas de intervencion con la infancia vulnerable a traves de la consideracion critica del mismo concepto de vulnerabilidad. Para ello, nos remitimos a los debates sobre el sujeto que nos permiten analizar los modos de reconocimiento hegemonico de la infancia como dependiente, vulnerable y sin agencia. La infancia se construye de manera relacional a la de los agentes de intervencion social (sistema de proteccion y ayuda humanitaria) que seran los encargados de rescatar a la infancia de su situacion de vulnerabilidad. Seguidamente, analizamos dos casos de construccion de infancia vulnerable:…
Pamięć przeszłości jako bagaż czy grupowa duma?
2021
The article contains considerations over the formation of family‑based remembrance of the past (post‑memory) among the young generation of Kresowiacy (Poles displaced from the Former Eastern Lands belonging to Poland before WW2) living now in Opole in Silesia – a unique region of Poland. Results of empirical research indicate that the family‑related post‑memory (inherited memory), in the young generation of the displaced is not a linear string, whose endpoint is the presence. It is random and fragmentary, with different time contexts, in which there has followed a clear mix‑up of orders covering different dimensions of historical and family events. It is rather that personalistic and histor…

2016
Over the past 20 years, both “the body” and “transnationalism” have been elaborated as sociological terms, empirically investigated as research topics, and finally established within the social-sci...
