Title [sv]
Vilka relationer? -- Kritiska genusstudier om maskuliniteter och relationalitet
Title [en]
In relation to what? Critical Gender Studies on Masculinities and Relationality
Abstract [sv]
In recent years, masculinities have been fruitfully explored by gender studies scholars. Relationality has been used as a critical concept for understanding masculinity as a social construction (Connell 1995) but the concept remains under-theorized. The field has generated certain understandings of relationality, for example that masculinity is what femininity is not, or that hegemonic masculinity is constructed in relation to nonhegemonic genders.This conference wants to address the usefulness and limitations of relationality for understanding masculinities, and invites presentations that address masculinities and relation(s)/relationality from a critical gender perspective. Which relations produce, construct, or maintain masculinities and specific gendered systems of power? How does relational masculinity/masculine relationality operate across historical time in work places, policy making, amilial practices, cultural representations, and fictional and non-fictional narratives?The conference encourages contributions from scholars in the humanities and social sciences, and other fields where masculinity is researched from a critical gender perspective. It comprises sessions with paper presentations and five plenary lectures by renowned gender studies scholars Stella Bruzzi (Film Studies, UK), Chris Beasley (Politics, Australia), Michael Kimmel (Sociology, US), James Messerschmidt (Sociology, US), and Keith Pringle (Sociology, Sweden).
