L'evento persona
2018
Il titolo è un monogramma dell’opera: la persona è un evento educativo, la sua ontologia apre il senso originario dell’educare. La Prima parte contiene i Segnavia, saggi di pedagogia fondamentale che elaborano una concezione dell’educazione definita da due istanze: una esistenziale, la realizzazione di una vita piena e totale; l’altra storica, la personalizzazione di un’eredità di senso. La Seconda parte apre Sentieri, attraverso testi di antropologia pedagogica che esplicitano quanto apprendiamo sulla persona nei mondi dell’educazione. Sono dedicati alla famiglia e all’«umanesimo dell’intimità»; all’esperienza di quanti, soprattutto nel volontariato, fanno rientrare nella riuscita della vi…
The gender role self-concept of men in female-dominated occupations: does it depend on how they see their jobs?
2014
In this study, we investigated the masculinity of men in female-dominated occupations. Our assumptions that token status, masculine task redefinition, and job control are related to masculinity were supported by results of segmented and hierarchical regressions with data from 213 men in female-dominated occupations. A comparison with 98 men from male-dominated occupations revealed that these results are specific for men in female-dominated occupations. Moderated regression did not support the assumption that the relation between masculine task redefinition would be stronger under low job control. Instead, the opposite pattern was found. Under high job control, the choice of tasks and their …
“Some Women Are Born Fighters”: Discursive Constructions of a Fighter’s Identity by Female Finnish Judo Athletes
2017
Martial arts and combat sports have been traditionally associated with masculinity, and a range of contradictory meanings have been attached to women’s engagement and experiences. The present study draws on cultural praxis and feminist poststructuralist frameworks to explore how female martial artists are subjectified to dominant cultural discourses surrounding fighting and competition. Interviews with nine female judoka (judo athletes) were gathered in Finland and analyzed using Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA). The FDA revealed that in female judoka talk, judo was constructed as a sport for all, but also as a male domain and a manly sport with fighting and competition as innate mascul…
Masculinity ideology and psychological strain: Considering men’s social stressors in female-dominated occupations
2015
According to the gender role strain paradigm (GRSP), men's adherence to masculinity ideology could result in dysfunction strain when it becomes incompatible with other role demands. To support the relevance of GRSP in the work context, we explored the relationship between masculinity ideology and st
When Physical Activity Participation Promotes Inactivity
2010
This article analyses negative experiences in physical education and sport reported during qualitative interviews of a group of inactive adolescent Spanish boys and girls. The purpose of this analysis is twofold. First and most important, it seeks to give voice to these young people reporting negative experiences and connect them to contexts of physical activity and sport in which they occurred in order to show how, ironically, inactivity is an unintended consequence. Second, the authors attempt to connect inactivity through negative experiences by drawing on conceptual notions of a gendered performativity culture, and symbolic violence. The authors conclude by commenting on how these insi…
Narratives of Men's experiences in Sport
1990
The first part of the article describes men's experiences from the perspective of women and the second part presents an interpretation of the sport experience from a male's perspective. The relationship between the two parts, which are critical of masculinity yet simultaneously sympathetic to men, are complementary rather than contradictory. As such, the paper represents a contribution to the emergence of a new conception of women's and men's studies. The article's methodological framework is drawn from the field of women's studies and centres on the recollection and interpretation of one's own life history. The first part of the article is about how masculinity in boys is constructed with…
Nurturing, breadwinning, and upbringing: paternal responsibilities by Finnish men in early fatherhood
2014
In the Nordic countries, including Finland, gender-balanced distribution of childcare is both the goal of family policies and nowadays also a cultural norm of parenting. Thus, in most families, the father, along with the mother, plays a considerable role in handson care. This study captures and analyzes paternal responsibilities as narrated by Finnish fathers. It draws on 32 interviews with 16 fathers conducted during the first three years of their fatherhood, and applies the method of narrative inquiry, in which narratives are understood as constructors of knowledge. The analysis yielded nurturing, breadwinning and upbringing, framed by the levels of everyday duties and comprehensive commi…
Vīriešu - feministu vīrišķības interpretācijas
2015
Bakalaura darbs „Vīriešu – feministu vīrišķības interpretācijas” mēģina noskaidrot, kā vīrieši, kas sevi dēvē par feministiem, piedēvē nozīmes vīrišķībai. Darbā skaidrotas vīrišķībai piešķirtās nozīmes, vīrišķības izpratnes saistība ar feminismu un kā vīrišķības izpratnes atklājas ikdienas praksēs. Kā darba teorētiskais ietvars izmantota Reivinas Koneles maskulinitātes teorija, to papildinot ar citu pētnieku darbiem un simboliskā interakcionisma perspektīvu. Darbā izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētījumu metodes, veicot sešas daļēji strukturētas intervijas un iegūtos datus analizējot ar kvalitatīvās kontentanalīzes metodes.

Il crimine come azione strutturata
2021
James W. Messerschmidt è tra i primi studiosi, all’interno di una cornice teorica che predilige una prospettiva dell’azione strutturata, a mostrare che fare il crimine significa anche fare maschilità, insieme ad altre differenze che hanno effetti strutturanti e che implicano dotazioni diseguali di potere come la classe sociale, l’appartenenza etno-razziale, l’età, la sessualità e le diverse forme di incorporamento che producono «corpi» diversi (Messerschmidt 1997). James W. Messerschmidt is among the first scholars, within a theoretical framework that favors a structured action perspective, to show that doing crime also means doing masculinity, along with other differences that have structu…
