SOCB22H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Hegemonic Masculinity, Juliet Mitchell, Early Modern Europe
Document Summary
Masculinity is not a coherent object about which a generalizing science can be produced yet we can have a coherent knowledge about the issue raised in attempts. If they brought in the angle of vision we can see masculinity not as an isolated object but as an aspect of a larger structure. Historical research suggest that this was too of european culture itself before the 18 century woman was suddenly regarded as different from men but different in the sense of being incomplete or inferior. Woman and men would not seen as bearers i"ll call truly different characters this conception accompanied the bourgeois ideology of separate spheres in the 19 century. A focus on gender relations among men is necessary to keep the analysis dynamic to prevent acknowledgment of multiple masculinity"s collapsing into a character typology as happen with the all authoritarian personality research.
