Mannen en geweld: aanklagen of medelijden?
Videovertoning:
Tough Guise by Jackson Katz
* Violence, media and the crisis in Masculinity *
While the social construction of femininity has been widely examined,
the dominant role of masculinity has until recently remained largely
invisible. Tough Guise is the first educational video geared toward
college and high school students to systematically examine the
relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction
of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.
In this innovative and wide-ranging analysis, Jackson Katz argues
that widespread violence in American society, including the tragic
school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and
elsewhere, needs to be understood as part of an ongoing crisis in
masculinity.
This exciting new media literacy tool-- utilizing racially diverse
subject matter and examples-- will enlighten and provoke students
(both males and females) to evaluate their own participation in the
culture of contemporary masculinity.
Discussie:
Moeten mannen door feministen aangeklaagd worden i.v.m. het eeuwig
uitoefenen van geweld, of hebben mannen juist compassie of zelfs
medelijden nodig?
