Ecological Masculinities by Martin Hultman,Paul M. Pulé Pdf
Around the globe, unfettered industrialisation has marched forth in unison with massive social inequities. Making matters worse, anthropogenic pressures on Earth’s living systems are causing alarming rates of thermal expansion, sea-level rise, biodiversity losses in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and a sixth mass extinction. As various disciplines have shown, rich white men in the Global North are the main (although not the only) perpetrators of this slow violence. This book demonstrates that industrial/breadwinner masculinities have come at terrible costs to the living planet and ecomodern masculinities have failed us as well, men included. This book is dedicated to a third and relationally focused pathway that the authors call ecological masculinities. Here, they explore ways that masculinities can advocate and embody broader, deeper and wider care for the global through to local (‘glocal’) commons. Ecological Masculinities works with the wisdoms of four main streams of influence that have come before us. They are: masculinities politics, deep ecology, ecological feminism and feminist care theory. The authors work with profeminist approaches to the conceptualisations and embodiments of modern Western masculinities. From there, they introduce masculinities that give ADAM-n for Earth, others and self, striving to create a more just and ecologically viable planet for all of life. This book is interdisciplinary. It is intended to reach (but is not restricted to) scholars exploring history, gender studies, material feminism, feminist care theory, ecological feminism, deep ecology, social ecology, environmental humanities, social sustainability, science and technology studies and philosophy.
Intimacies, Citizenship and Refugee Men by Samuel Muchoki Pdf
This timely book moves beyond struggling, suffering and loss to argue that forced migration often provides opportunities for men to pursue new relationships and re-organise their intimate lives. It focuses on the lived experiences of masculinity, sexuality and pursuit of intimate relationships by men who have arrived in Australia as refugees from the Horn of Africa. The author shows that, even amidst the chaos of displacement, the difficulties of living in limbo whilst seeking asylum and the challenges of settlement, the desire for enjoyable and fulfilling intimate relations remains central to the everyday lives of refugee men. This novel work will appeal to students and scholars of migration studies, citizenship, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
Coming of Age Under Martial Law by Svetlana Vasileva-Karagʹozova Pdf
How do historical cataclysms affect the social conditioning of young people? How do individuals born in the same period come to form an identifiable "generation"? How do coming-of-age stories create a sense of community and generational identity? Coming of Age under Martial Law: The Initiation Novels of Poland's Last Communist Generation addresses these questions, examining a selection of post-1989 coming-of-age novels authored by the generation of Polish writers whose transition from adolescence to adulthood coincided with Poland's transition from communism to liberal democracy.BR> Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova argues that when cataclysms of any nature overlap with the sensitive period of maturation into adulthood, they disrupt the natural rhythm of society's self-renewal. In the case of the Polish '89ers, the generational clash with their predecessors did not produce the anticipated generational change in leadership, but a pathological role reversal: the elders refused to give up their leadership positions, while the young were stifled in their development and occupied marginal social spaces. This social imbalance is profoundlly reflected in the content and themes of the novels produced by this younger generation, as the author shows. Svetlana Vassileva-Karagyozova is an assistant professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas.
Gender, Sexuality, and the Cultural Politics of Men’s Identity by Robert Mundy,Harry Denny Pdf
This book considers mass media and contemporary cultural trends to examine masculinity at a point of unprecedented change. While sexual and gender politics have always been fraught, the long unexamined privilege associated with masculinity is now subject to intense scrutiny marked by a host of complex factors. As past markers of masculine norms have been challenged on cultural, social, and economic fronts, men occupy public space ever aware that how they interact with others is questioned and questionable. What does manhood mean? Who is included in its dominant formations? What performances signify membership in the club? How are men reading this contemporary moment and to what extent does cultural literacy inform, maintain, or challenge normative male identities and subsequent performances? This work examines such questions through language and symbolic meaning, and challenges its readers to critically examine what men know and how they understand and embody gender and sexuality in a post-millennial society. Gender, Sexuality, and the Cultural Politics of Men’s Identity in the New Millennium: Literacies of Masculinity crosses academic disciplines and will be highly relevant in composition/rhetoric, gender studies, masculinity studies, and cross-curricular courses that take up popular/contemporary culture as well as gender, sexuality, race, and class. It has been designed with both undergraduate and graduate students in mind.
The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood: Mentor's Manual by Richard Rupp Pdf
Major League Baseball players never start a new season without spring training. Neither should boys. Yet most boys start their adult lives as men without a day of training on manhood. Boys need mentoring more than ever today to become men of character, faith and self-control. They need training to build character qualities like commitment, responsibility, integrity and service. They need caring men and fathers that will invest their time and effort to coach and mentor them into manhood. Throughout time and throughout all cultures on earth, rites of passage have transformed boys into men through training and ritual. Post-modern culture no longer offers this vital training. Boys are on their own today, and millions of them are drifting south toward a shipwreck in their lives, relationships and future marriages. Boys are falling behind girls in all education levels. They numb their pain inside with addictions to alcohol, drugs, porn and sex. And with fatherlessness at epidemic levels, boys of every race and social level are desperate for belonging and guidance with older men. The Crossing Rite of Passage gives boys the training, coaching and belonging they need from caring men in their lives. The book offers a complete spring training for manhood. The Mentor's Manual equips a Mentor Team of caring fathers and men with everything they need to build their boys into great Christian men. Each Mentor needs a copy of this Mentor's Manual along with the companion copy of the Young Men's Manual for each boy. Both manuals include; A History of Male Rites of Passage, Six Mentor Lessons in Manhood, A Code of Honor, Good Deed Project, Knowing the Christian Faith, Outdoor Adventure Challenge, Initiation into Manhood Fire Ceremony, and much more. Like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah, the ages of the boys can start at thirteen, but the training applies to all boys up to seventeen. All boys need this Rite of Passage before they graduate from high school. Invite some other men and fathers to get a group of boys together of the same ages. If you feel unprepared to be a Mentor, don't worry. The Mentor's Manual has three structured lessons just for the Mentor Team to equip themselves before training the boys. Both the men and the boys will grow in their faith and character from their training. Manhood is every boy's destiny. The Crossing Rite of Passage will set boys on course to arrive there.
One of the most eminent scholars and writers on men and masculinity and the author of the critically acclaimed Manhood in America turns his attention to the culture of guys, aged 16 to 26: their attitudes, their relationships, their rules, and their rituals. “Kimmel is our seasoned guide into a world that, unless we are guys, we barely know exists. As he walks with us through dark territories, he points out the significant and reflects on its meaning.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia The passage from adolescence to adulthood was once clear. Today, growing up has become more complex and confusing, as young men drift casually through college and beyond—hanging out, partying, playing with tech toys, watching sports. But beneath the appearance of a simple extended boyhood, a more dangerous social world has developed, far away from the traditional signposts and cultural signals that once helped boys navigate their way to manhood—a territory Michael Kimmel has identified as "Guyland." In mapping the troubling social world where men are now made, Kimmel offers a view into the minds and times of America's sons, brothers, and boyfriends, and he works toward redefining what it means to be a man today—and tomorrow. Only by understanding this world and this life stage can we enable young men to chart their own paths, stay true to themselves, and emerge safely from Guyland as responsible and fully formed male adults.
