Représentations professionnelles des filles et des garçons au collège : les effets d'une pièce de théâtre interactive

2002

Programmes were launched in the French region of Burgundy in order to increase the understanding of the social and cultural obstacles for women in terms of occupational fields, considered a priori as male dominated. As part of this programme, the Compagnie du Sablier performed an interactive theatre play called "Lucie, the technician" ; it was aimed at an audience of lower secondary school pupils. It tells the story of a young girl determined to choose a male dominated occupation, and challenges young people to consider their career choice. The purpose of this study is to analyse the vocational representations of girls and boys, and to look at the pupils' visions of the world of work, in or…

Second to fourth digit ratios and the implicit gender self-concept

2007

Abstract Intersexual and intrasexual variation in the ratio of index and ring finger lengths (2D:4D) is thought to be a marker of fetal androgen and estrogen levels. Thus, 2D:4D ratios have been expected to be associated with the development of the gender self-concept (masculinity vs. femininity). These associations have, however, proven to be empirically rather small and lower than expected. By arguing that early developmental events more greatly influence implicit as compared with explicit self-concepts, we hypothesized that 2D:4D ratios might be associated with the implicit gender self-concept – assessed using an Implicit Association Test – as opposed to the self-reported explicit gender…

Sobre la necesidad de estudiar la masculinidad(es) en tiempos de incertidumbre / On the Need to Study Masculinity(s) in Times of Uncertainty

2019

La masculinidad como concepto analítico parece estar de moda. Proliferan reflexiones en los medios, se publican libros, se organizan actividades e incluso jornadas y congresos, etc. Todo ello parece consecuencia y al mismo tiempo funcionan como elementos intensificadores del interés despertado entre diferentes ámbitos de lo social (y lo mediático) por conocer qué pasa con los hombres en estos momentos de incertidumbre social generalizada. Además, estos tiempos actuales cabe concebirlos, y más si hablamos de la identidad masculina como identidad de género, desde la eclosión y visibilización de las reivindicaciones feministas de la ya denominada «cuarta ola» que se están dando a escala global…

Sounds of the Cold War: gendered submarine narratives

2015

The article discusses different narrative and discursive ways in which American and Soviet submarine narratives of the Cold War period scripted nuclear-age submarine masculinity as a ‘structure’ of experience and a ‘structure’ of feelings different from vision-centred technologies of violence and warfare. The comparative discussion of the selected submarine narratives about Cold War underwater adventures is in no way exhaustive. But it allows looking into narrative constructions of submarine masculinity as articulations of subtle ‘gender’ modifications in the cultural normative ideologies of the competing projects of hegemonic war-related masculinity, otherwise, perceived as coherent and si…

Spatial analysis of the relationship between mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and drinking water hardness

2004

Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Reproduced with permission from Environmental Health Perspectives. Previously published scientific papers have reported a negative correlation between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular mortality. Some ecologic and case-control studies suggest the protective effect of calcium and magnesium concentration in drinking water. In this article we present an analysis of this protective relationship in 538 municipalities of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from 1991-1998. We used the Spanish version of the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF) developed under the European Environment and Health Information System (EUROHEIS) research project. The strateg…
