Lectures
Where have Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities come from? Where are
they going?
Thursday, Sept 02, 14.00-15.30, Room M M649 *Jeff Hearn*
Linköping University, Sweden, and Hanken School of Economics Finland
In this session, I outline some of the main theoretical traditions in and
socio-political influences on the development of the sub-field of Critical
Studies on Men and Masculinities. As well as locating myself, course
participants are encouraged to locate themselves in relation to these
traditions and influences. Some major changes and shifts in theory and
practice are charted, included how they relate to different parts of Europe.
Current trends, tensions and dilemmas are examined, including challenges
posed by neglected intersections, virtuality, and transnationalisations.
Thinking Whiteness and Masculinity
*Irina Novikova*, Friday, Sept 03, 12.00-13.30, Room M 340
University of Latvia Latvia
This session addresses the intersections of whiteness and masculinity as
cultural "invisible designs", gender concepts and social experiences in the
negotiation and circulation of power. We will also discuss how race triggers
a re-thinking of the operations of masculinity as a social and ethnic
discourse. The session will include some examples of media images as visual
symptoms of invisibilization in constructing social perceptions of whiteness
and hegemonic masculinity in post-Soviet Baltic societies.
What is hegemonic masculinity? Theoretical and methodological challenges
around diversity
Friday, Sept 03, 10.00-11.30, room M 340 *Sofia Aboim *
University of Lisbon Portugal
This session aims to cover a few problems that arise from the
operationalization of Raewyn Connell's theory, particularly in what concerns
the widely used concept of hegemonic masculinity. In this presentation, I
intend to outline some of the contemporary debates on the subject of
hegemony while linked to the pluralization of masculinities in contemporary
societies. The following topics will be presented and
discussed: the definition of masculinity as structure, practice and
discourse, the visions of masculinity as power, the problem of defining
limited categories versus the plurality of identities in post-structuralist
approaches to masculinity, and the hybridization processes that underlie the
complexity of real masculinities. The talk will also include a number of
empirical-based examples related, for instance, to men and sexuality and
also trans-nationalism, through which I will discuss my own research
problems when approaching the real subject of men.
