Challenging Unequal Gendered Conventions in Heterosexual Relationship Contexts through Affective Dissonance
2019
In Nordic countries, intimate relationships are routinely compared against ideals of gender equality, even though equality is not always achieved in everyday life. In this article, we analyse interviews with women that lived in unconventional relationships: mid- to later-life women in relationships with younger men, and bisexual women who have had relationships with people of different genders. The women’s expectations of equality and reciprocity in heterosexual relationships collided with the lived reality of inequalities, causing affective dissonance. We identify three strategies that women use to deal with this affective dissonance. In the first strategy, unequal relationship patterns ar…

New Families as an Educational Emergency
2017
One phenomenon typical of late-modern Western societies is the extreme pluralisation of family forms, a true and proper archipelago of families, so that: the family can no longer be reasonably discussed in the singular, just as well as each couple seems to form a «mixed couple» . Observing the data describing this phenomenon and any perceived trends, prompt a first general consideration, from an educational perspective: the aspects related to couple formation, the choice of whether to marry, the preferred family forms, all highlight a breakup between the older and the younger generations. In short, we are confronted with a new culture of human relationships: this new culture sets new symbol…
