Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we report on a study that investigated the motives, interests, and positions of a number of participants in the field of social work and projects for men and equality in contemporary Swedish society. The material used was collected from an evaluation of a number of social projects in Swedish civil society that focused on men and boys. The common goal in these projects is to develop methods and tools that are usable in social work with men and boys. In the article, we will highlight eight of the projects included in the evaluation. The points of departure for these projects are often an agenda putting forward a problematic masculinity and focusing on men at risk of either harming themselves or others. The various social work projects use two different approaches to social work with men and boys. A number of projects tend to lean on “traditional” images of gender, using a compensatory approach to gender and society. Other projects are clearly inspired by a feminist movement among men and lean on a norm critical tradition with influences from, for instance, Judith Butler’s work. The results of the study call for a discussion of how social and economic conditions affect the understanding of masculinity. If the goal is to deconstruct homogenous gender categories, we have to emphasize the variety of gender constructions, identities, and power relations.

The Conundrum of Masculinity : Hegemony, Homosociality, Homophobia and Heteronormativity
- 2017
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Popular culture is awash with discussions about the difficulties associated with being a man. Television talk shows, media articles and government press releases discuss not simply the problem of men, but have more recently focused on the problems of being a man. The Conundrum of Masculinity challenges highly advertised beliefs that men are in crisis and struggling to hold onto traditional masculine habits whilst the world around them changes. Indeed, whilst there is a range of valuable contributions to the field that examine how men live out their lives in different contexts, there are few accounts that examine in detail the building blocks of masculinity or how men are really 'put together'. Thus, this innovative and timely volume seeks to provide a systematic exploration of the different aspects of masculinity - in particular hegemony, homosociality, homophobia and heteronormativity. An original approach to the field of masculinity studies, this book ultimately presents a critical synthesis that brings together disparate approaches to provide a clear and concise discussion to address the true nature of masculinity. The Conundrum of Masculinity will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Masculinity Studies and Sociology.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the 1990s, Raewyn Connell published her groundbreaking study on the transformation of masculinity. In Masculinities, the concept of hegemonic masculinity was put forward as a key concept in gender studies. Originally applied in Marxian studies to power and class, the concept of hegemony was now used to analyse a historically mobile and dynamic power structure and hierarchical relation between different groups of men and women. Although using the concept of hegemonic masculinity is considered a powerful way of approaching and analysing gender relations, the main question is whether this conceptual turn, in fact, leads to a more dynamic theory of masculinity and gender. The main objective of this article is to contribute to conceptual clarifications and to the theorizing on gender, hegemony and masculinity. The conceptual and theoretical exploration aims at opening up ways of redefining and reconceptualizing hegemonic masculinity. Using Ricoeur’s and Laclau and Mouffe’s theorizations of hegemony, the concept of hegemonic masculinity is expanded and reformulated. A short case study of contemporary Scandinavian fatherhood is used to discuss the empirical implications of this theoretical effort.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I mitten av 1970-talet framträdde brottaren Hoa-Hoa Dahlgren på reklampelare landet runt, iklädd blågul t-tröja och med ett naket spädbarn på armen. Bilden ingick i Försäkringskassans kampanj för att övertyga fäder att bli mer aktiva och närvarande i familjelivet. Sedan dess har det producerats mängder av liknande kampanjer, riktade till män och fäder och med syftet att skapa moderna, jämställda och barnorienterade män. Den här boken är både en historisk studie av fyrtio års jämställdhetsarbete för att göra pappa med barn och en studie av dagens fäder och föräldraskap. Hur resonerar män som väljer att stanna hemma och ta ut lång föräldraledighet? Det moderna faderskapet visar sig vara en komplex historia.
