Kønsstudier: mænd og drenge

Men, Masculinities and Intimate Partner Violence examines how gender and other social identities and inequalities shape experiences of, and responses to, violence in intimate relationships. It provides new insights into men as both perpetrators and victims of violence, as well as on how to involve men and boys in anti-violence work.The chapters explore partner violence from the perspectives of researchers, therapists, activists, organisations, media as well as men of different background and sexual orientation. Highlighting the distinct and ambivalent ways we relate to violence and masculinity, this timely volume provides nuanced approaches to men, masculinity and intimate partner violence in various societies in the global North and South.This book foregrounds scholarship on men and masculinities in the context of intimate partner violence. By doing so, it revitalises feminist theorising and research on partner abuse, and brings together the fields of masculinity studies and studies of intimate partner violence. The book will be a vital resource for students and scholars in criminology, gender studies, psychology, social work and sociology, as well as those working with men and boys.

This volume assesses the nexus of gender and transboundary water governance, containing empirical case studies, discourse analyses, practitioners' accounts, and theoretical reflections.Transboundary water governance exists at the intersection of two highly masculinised fields: diplomacy and water resources management. In both fields, positions are mainly held by men, and core ideas, norms, and guiding principles that are presented as neutral, are both shaped by men and based on male experiences. This book sheds light on the often hidden gender dynamics of water conflict and cooperation at the transboundary level and on the implicit assumptions that guide research and policies. The individual chapters of the book, based on case studies from around the world, reveal the gendered nature of water diplomacy, take stock of the number of women involved in organisations that govern shared waters, and analyse programmes that have been set up to promote women in water diplomacy and the obstacles that they face. They explore and contest leading narratives and knowledge that have been shaped mainly by privileged men, and assess how the participation of women concretely impacts the practices, routines, and processes of water negotiations.This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of water governance, water diplomacy, gender, international relations and environmental politics. It will also be of interest to professionals and policymakers involved in supporting gender mainstreaming in water cooperation.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

Bisexuality in Europe offers an accessible and diverse overview of research on bisexuality and bi+ people in Europe, providing a foundation for theorising and empirical work on plurisexual orientations and identities, and the experiences and realities of people who desire more than one sex or genderCounteracting the predominance of work on bisexuality based in Ango-American contexts, this collection of fifteen contributions from both early-career and more senior academics reflects the current state of research in Europe on bisexuality and people who desire more than one sex or gender. The book is structured around three interlinked themes that resonate well with the international research frontiers of bisexual theorising: bisexual citizenship, intimate relationships, and bisexual+ identities. This book is the first of its kind in bringing together research from various European countries including Austria, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries, as well as from Europe as a wider geographical region..

Prepare for Departure showcases what happens when a permissive mother and a misfit son face death while revisiting life.

This 20th-anniversary edition of the extraordinary New York Times bestseller features a new introduction from the author!"Stiffed is a brilliant, important book.. Faludi's reportorial and literary skills unfold with breathtaking confidence and beauty... She goes a long way toward eliminating the black and white, good and evil, male and female polarities that have riven the sexes in the past three decades..." ?TimeIn 1991, internationally renowned feminist journalist Susan Faludi ignited a revival of the women's movement with her revelatory investigative reportage: Backlash was nothing less than a landmark, uncovering an ?undeclared war? against women's equality in the media, advertising, Hollywood, the workplace, and government?a war that is still being fought today.Stiffed may be even more essential than Backlash to understanding the cultural riptides that led to Trumpian America. Here, Faludi turns her attention to the so-called ?Angry Male? politics plaguing the nation. Through deeply researched, nuanced, and empathetic character studies of distressed industrial workers, laid-off aerospace engineers, combat veterans, football fans, evangelical husbands, suburban and inner-city teenage boys, and Hollywood and porn actors, Stiffed goes beyond the easy explanations of male misbehavior?that it's driven by chromosomes or hormones?to lay bare the powerful social and economic forces that have shattered the postwar compact defining American manhood. Faludi's vivid storytelling illuminates the historic and traumatic paradigm shift from a ?utilitarian? manliness, grounded in civic and communal service, to an ?ornamental? masculinity shaped by entertainment, marketing, and performance values. Read in the light of Trumpian politics and the #MeToo movement, Faludi's analysis speaks acutely to our present crisis, and to a foreboding future. Stiffed delivers a searing portrait of modern-day male America, and traces the provenance of a gender war that continues to rage, unabated.

A century ago, while feminism began to alter our perception of the roles of women, a very different movement transformed the American ideal of manhood. Its defining terms were most clearly set forth at Harvard University in the decades following the Civil War. During those years, more than ever before in our culture, men became conscious of themselves as men. Kim Townsend introduces us to the men at Harvard who were the most influential supporters and vocal critics of the new ideal of manhood. At the center was Harvard psychologist and philosopher William James, whose own personal perspective was very much a man's perspective, a masculine or manly one. His career and writing mirrored the ways Harvard responded to the pressures of the era. Manhood at Harvard has a rich and varied cast of characters - indeed, some of the most influential thinkers of the time. There is Charles William Eliot, the university president who transformed a somewhat provincial college that seemed almost an extension of a New England prep school into a world-class university that was taking its first steps towards America's ethnic diversity. W. E. B. Dubois pointed out the racial and gender assumptions implicit in Harvard's ideal, while George Santayana, another Harvard outsider, recognized James's "masculine directness" but turned away from his philosophy. Townsend's fascinating study penetrates a distinctive culture, the legacy of which has reverberated powerfully - and provocatively - in education, politics, and society throughout the twentieth century.

While the practice of gynecology has brought millions of women to a greater understanding of their own sexual health, its male counterpart, andrology, remains largely an unexplored field. In this guide, Dr. Purvis supplies the information needed to better understand male sexual anatomy, functions, and health.

Hvordan inkluderer vi bedre mænd og drenge i de danske uddannelser?Bogen her udfordrer de etablerede forståelser af sammenhængen mellem køn og uddannelse. Den dokumenterer, at køn har betydning for mænds uddannelsesdeltagelse, og den ser på, hvad vi kan gøre for, at flere drenge og mænd føler sig inkluderet og inviteret til at uddanne sig. Forfatterne skaber dermed en kontekst i forståelsen af køns betydning samt inklusionen af mænd på de danske uddannelses­institutioner, og de tager livtag med de fordomme og forforståelser, der præger vores opfattelse af ’drengeuddannelser’ og ’pigeuddannelser’. Drenges og mænds inklusion på kønnede uddannelser bygger på forskning knyttet til en række forsknings- og udviklingsprojekter gennemført i Region Sjælland 2012-2015. Hensigten med projekterne har været at arbejde med og at forstå udfordringer i inklusion af drenge og mænd på uddannelser, sådan som det ser ud for de involverede aktører. Bogen henvender sig til undervisere, vejledere og uddannelsesplanlæggere. Uddannelses­ansvarlige, studerende og forskere, der ønsker mere viden om køns betydning i uddannelse kan med fordel også læse med.Bidragyderne er: Steen Baagøe Nielsen, Signe Hvid Thingstrup, Marianne Brodersen, Henrik Hersom, Christian Helms Jørgensen, Trine Wulf-Andersen, Lene Larsen, Nanna Friche, Kevin Holger Mogensen, Jimmy Krab og Randi Andersen.

Hvordan kan vi forstå og forbedre unge fædres personlige ressourcer? Hvordan kan vi hjælpe dem med at blive bedre til at passe deres børn - både i familier, hvor mor og far bor sammen, og i opløste forhold? Kenneth Reinicke, lektor i mandeforskning interesserer sig især for unge fædre i opløste forhold. Og det er der god grund til. Udenlandske studier viser nemlig, at de unges parforhold ofte opløses ret tidligt, og at fædrenes kontakt til deres børn derefter tit bliver både svag og ustabil. Læg dertil, at de unge fædres ønsker og behov ofte er svære at identificere, og at de bliver "usynlige", fordi de ikke tænkes ind i støtteforanstaltninger til enlige unge mødre. Fokus har historisk set næsten udelukkende ligget på mor-barn-relationen.

Historien er fuld af store mænd: forfattere og feltherrer, sportsudøvere og statsmænd. Op gennem årene er vi blevet indprentet bestemte forestillinger om, hvordan mænd er - og bør være. Manden er fader, forsørger og formynder. Han er driftig og har et stærkt naturligt begær efter succes - og kvinder."Mænd - køn under forvandling" tegner et mere komplekst billede af mænd og mandighed. I dag indtager manden meget forskellige roller og positioner i samfundet, og spørgsmålet er, om der nu eksisterer en form for moderne og anderledes maskulinitet? Gennem en række konkrete nedslag gør bogen op med myter og fordomme om mænd og mandighed og demonstrerer det komplekse forhold mellem forestillinger om maskulinitet og konkrete udlevelser af maskulinitet.Ud over at behandle emner som arbejdsliv, faderskab og sundhed sætter bogen fokus på ligestillingsdebatten og mere kontroversielle emner som mandlige voldsudøvere, prostitutionskunder samt krise- og depressionsramte mænd. Desuden rummer bogen en diskussion af forholdet mellem maskulinitet, etnicitet og faderskab - et emne, der ikke er skrevet meget om i Danmark.
