Violence of Obregón from the Revisionist Lenses of Gender Studies

02 Jan 2024  |  Dialnet  |  Spanish  |  Gender Studies

Alejandro Obregón's painting 'Violencia' (1962) is a significant piece in Colombian art history, symbolizing the country's historical violence through modern art. The painting's fusion of body-woman and territory-mountain has been analyzed as a formal strategy to depict war non-literally. However, it has not been extensively examined from a gender studies perspective. Theoretical frameworks such as body politics, studies on the male gaze, and ecofeminism are used to argue that the painting simultaneously territorializes the body and feminizes the territory, portraying both with analogous characteristics of passivity.

Men and suicide: How the economic burden and societal expectations are taking a toll in Ghana

05 Apr 2023  |  Citinewsroom - Comprehensive News in Ghana  |  English  |  Gender Studies

The article discusses the issue of suicide in Ghana, highlighting that it is a complex behavior influenced by various factors and is a significant public health issue. The World Health Organization's report on annual suicides in Ghana and trends over four years is mentioned. The article focuses on the high rate of male suicides, which is attributed to factors such as loss of job and income, chronic illness, substance use, and societal expectations. The author's study on the impact of economic challenges on family relationships prior to suicide is detailed, revealing that some men felt emasculated when depending on others during economic hardships. The study suggests that societal gender norms and the patriarchal nature of African societies contribute to the high male suicide rate. The article calls for public education to change unhealthy gender norms and provide better support for men facing social and economic adversity. The article is written by Johnny Andoh-Arthur, a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Ghana, and is republished from The Conversation.

Gender and Domination Course in OOPS

06 Jun 2016  |  Public Seminar  |  English  |  Gender Studies

The article discusses the evolution of feminist theory and the question of female subjectivity in Western culture. It references Simone de Beauvoir's identification of women as the 'Other' in a male-dominated society and explores how various theorists, including Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray, and Julia Kristeva, have approached the problem of female identity and subjectivity. Butler's 'Gender Trouble' is highlighted for its analysis of gender and sex as constructs of discourse, challenging essentialist views of feminist identity. The article also touches on the works of Michel Foucault, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jacqueline Rose, emphasizing the idea that identity is an effect of practice and subject to continuous redefinition through repetition and signification. The author suggests that feminist theory seeks to subvert traditional power structures by reimagining feminine subjectivity beyond the constraints of phallogocentric norms.

The Stockholm Syndrome 50 Years Later: Is It Real or Was It Invented to Discredit Women?

23 Aug 2023  |  es.euronews.com  |  Spanish  |  Gender Studies

Fifty years after the event that coined the term 'Stockholm Syndrome,' experts debate its legitimacy. The syndrome, named after a 1973 bank hostage crisis in Stockholm, describes captives developing emotional bonds with captors. Contemporary experts argue it is a constructed concept, not a psychiatric diagnosis, often used to rationalize the behavior of hostages, particularly women. Key figures in the debate include gender studies professor Cecilia Ase and psychiatrist Christoffer Rahm, who view the syndrome as a defense mechanism rather than a mental disorder. Former hostage Kristin Enmark refutes any romantic feelings towards her captors, emphasizing survival instincts.

Review: ‘Write Like a Man’ by Ronnie A. Grinberg

In 'Write Like a Man: Jewish Masculinity and the New York Intellectuals,' Ronnie A. Grinberg explores the intersection of Jewish identity, masculinity, and intellectualism among mid-20th-century thinkers in the United States. The book delves into how these Jewish men's experiences shaped their understanding of masculinity and influenced American intellectual and political life. Grinberg examines figures like Norman Podhoretz and Irving Howe, as well as institutions such as Menorah Journal, Partisan Review, and Commentary. The book also addresses the relationships these intellectuals had with women and contrasts secular Jewish masculinity with Black American masculinity. Emily Tamkin's review praises Grinberg's nuanced writing and the book's detailed examination of its subjects as both thinkers and individuals grappling with identity.

Gender bender branding: male, female or both?

29 Jun 2015  |  www.jewellermagazine.com  |  English  |  Gender Studies

Research indicates that brands with strong masculine or feminine personalities have higher brand equity, suggesting that adhering to gender stereotypes can be a beneficial branding strategy. Consumers prefer brands with clear gender signals as they are easier to categorize and use for self-expression. While most global brands adopt a highly masculine or feminine identity, androgynous brands with strong gender traits are also effective. For jewellers, adopting a gendered branding approach can attract target consumers, with options to appeal to either males, females, or both through a combination of strategies.
