Father's Impact on Son's Gender Role Identity

1992

ABSTRACT The study investigates the similarities between the gender role identities of 12 year‐old boys and their fathers. An attempt was also made to determine the influence of father‐son interaction on the specific nature of these similarities. The study was carried out in Jyvaskyla and the subjects comprised 113 12 year‐old boys and their fathers. The sex role orientation of fathers and their sons was measured by a sex role inventory designed for the study. Father — son correlations were studied in relation to the frequency and quality of father‐son interaction, especially with regard to the paternal warmth and paternal control involved. The son's masculinity correlated positively with t…

Sport and physical activity in a high security Spanish prison: an ethnographic study of multiple meanings

2009

Drawing on data generated by a two-year ethnographic study in a high security Spanish prison, this article explores the multiple meanings given to the social practices of sport and physical activity. We provide details of the following key themes that emerged from the analysis: (a) escaping time; (b) perceived therapeutic benefits; (c) social control; (d) gendered dimensions; and (e) performing masculinity. The findings suggest that a diverse and contradictory set of meanings are associated with sport and physical activity within this particular prison culture, and that the performance of specific kinds of masculinity is both a process and product that shapes the construction of experience …

Homophobic Conduct as Normative Masculinity Test

2020

Homophobic violence can be considered as an expressive act. Violent behavior can be considered as anti-homosexual when victims are chosen because they are considered or perceived as homosexual. Following this reasoning, hate crimes as homophobic crimes have a communicative value, since they represent a range of “masculinization” practices within the processes of gender socialization, both in conventional and illegitimate social worlds. Every homophobic act aims to intimidate not just the victim, but the whole group associated with the, whether concretely or merely in the perception of the perpetrator. This chapter will take into account the main research on victimization from an internation…

Towards understanding the Nordic paradox: A review of qualitative interview studies on intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in Sweden

2019

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a major public health problem in countries around the world, including the Nordic region. Contrary to what would be expected, as the Nordic countries are rated among the most gender equal in the world, survey data suggests that the lifetime prevalence rates of IPVAW in Sweden and neighboring Nordic countries are among the highest in the EU. This phenomenon, which has been termed the Nordic paradox, requires elucidation. The aim of this review is to explore what previous qualitative studies, based on interviews with or field observations of victims, perpetrators, or professionals working in the area, primarily in Sweden, have to teach us abo…

Enfance, logiques de la filiation et de la transmission dans l’œuvre de Rachid O.

2017

L’enfance apparaît chez Rachid O. comme une période à laquelle il accorde une grande attention dans son œuvre romanesque, mais aussi comme le pivot autour duquel tournent le questionnement sur son identité homosexuelle, ses rapports familiaux et son écriture. Cet article interroge la représentation de l’enfance et sa panoplie de constructions imaginaires, mais aussi les structures symboliques de la filiation et de la transmission, là où elles dévoilent le réel de l’écrivain et montrent l’enjeu de la jouissance.

Vīrišķība un virtuve: ar ēdienu saistītu prakšu artikulācija Latvijas vīriešu vidū

2017

Darbā pētīts, kā Latvijā dzīvojoši vīrieši, kas ieņem “baltās apkaklītes” amatu, apraksta ēdiena lomu ikdienas dzīvē, pievērošot uzmanību tam, kā izpratne par vīrišķību tiek izklāstīta ar ēdienu saistītu pārliecību un prakšu kontekstā. Kvalitatīvie dati tika iegūti, izmantojot līdzdalīgo novērojumu, vizuālās dokumentācijas metodi un padziļinātās intervijas ar desmit vīriešiem. Pētījumā tiek piedāvāts ieskats teorētiskajā literatūrā par dzimtes identitātes izspēli un vērtību piešķiršanas sociālo konstruēšanu plašākā kultūras ietvarā. Pētījums norāda, ka vienlaikus pastāv dažādas vīrišķības, kas tiek izspēlētas dažādos kontekstos atkarībā no rīcībā esošiem resursiem. Interpretējot informantu …
