yönelik eleştiri noktalarını ortaya koymak ve bu yaklaşımın uluslararası ilişkiler disiplinine ne tür katkılarının olduğunu incelemektir. Feminist uluslararası ilişkiler yaklaşımı genel olarak disiplinin temelinde gizli bir erkek bakışının yer aldığını ve alanda kadınların düşüncelerinin, sorunlarının ve yaşadıkları değişimlerin yadsındığını ileri sürmekte ve uluslararası ilişkilerin geleneksel yaklaşımlarını da, evrensel ve objektif olmamaları noktasında eleştirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle, feminist düşüncenin uluslararası ilişkiler disiplini içindeki gelişimi ve disiplinin geleneksel kuram ve kavramlarına yönelik temel eleştiri noktaları ele alınacaktır. Daha sonra farklı feminizm türleri üzerinde durulacak ve feminist yaklaşımın uluslararası ilişkiler disiplinine katkılarının neler olduğu analiz edilecektir.

Real Men Don't Make Mistakes: Investigating the Effects of Leader Gender, Error Type, and the Occupational Context on Leader Error Perceptions

This study investigated the influence of errors on perceptions of leader competence, effectiveness, and desire to work for the leader. It also examined the effects of gendered expectations on perceptions of male and female leader errors by investigating the interactions that occur between the leader’s gender, the type of error and the occupational context.

Design/Methodology – A sample of 284 undergraduates read a series of fictional employee emails describing a leader’s behavior and responded to several measures while envisioning themselves as subordinates of the leader.

Findings – Results suggested task and relationship errors exert damaging and differential effects on perceptions of leader task and relationship competence, respectively, and equally damage desire to work for the leader. Male leaders were perceived as less task and relationship competent, desirable to work for, and effective than female leaders for committing errors in a masculinized domain.

Implications – This study suggests leader errors matter, and that current leadership models ought to be expanded to account more clearly for them. Moreover, it offers insight into the role of gendered expectations in determining perceptions of male and female leader errors.

Originality/Value: This study is one of the first to empirically examine leader error perceptions and the effects of gender stereotypes on these perceptions. It represents a step towards understanding evaluations of male and female leaders, not when they succeed, but when they make mistakes.

Hegemonic masculinity and beyond: 40 years of research in Sweden

by Lucas Gottzén

Men & Masculinities, 2012 (with J. Hearn, M. Nordberg, K. Andersson, D. Balkmar, K. Pringle, R. Klinth & L. Sandberg)

This article discusses the status of the concept of hegemonic masculinity in research on men and boys in Sweden, and... more This article discusses the status of the concept of hegemonic masculinity in research on men and boys in Sweden, and how it has been used and developed. Sweden has a relatively long history of public debate, research, and policy intervention in gender issues and gender equality. This has meant, in sheer quantitative terms, a relatively sizeable corpus of work on men, masculinities, and gender relations. There is also a rather wide diversity of approaches, theoretically and empirically, to the analysis of men and masculinities. The Swedish national context and gender equality project is outlined. This is followed by discussion of three broad phases in studies on men and masculinities in Sweden: the 1960s and 1970s before the formulation of the concept of hegemonic masculinity; the 1980s and 1990s when the concept was important for a generation of researchers developing studies in more depth; and the 2000s with a younger generation committed to a variety of feminist and gender critiques other than those associated with hegemonic masculinity. The following sections focus specifically on how the concept of hegemonic masculinity has been used, adapted, and indeed not used, in particular areas of study: boys and young men in family and education; violence; and health. The article concludes with review of how hegemonic masculinity has been used in Swedish contexts, as: gender stereotype, often out of the context of legitimation of patriarchal relations; “Other” than dominant, white middle-class “Swedish,” equated with outmoded, nonmodern, working-class, failing boy, or minority ethnic masculinities; a new masculinity concept and practice, incorporating some degree of gender equality; and reconceptualized and problematized as a modern, heteronormative, and subject-centered concept.

Unnecessary Roughness: ESPN’s Construction of Hypermasculine Citizenship

Understanding ESPN’s coverage–its particular framing of this story–is important and instructive, for it reveals how the news media shape public attitudes and opinions, pressure public officials, and model agentive citizenship in response to public traumas. Specifically, it is argued that ESPN’s visual-narrative framing of the scandal perpetuates a hypermasculine (and heteronormative) fantasy of violent vigilante justice that reduces political agency to personal and private acts.

Consumer Culture and Extractive Industry on the Margins of the World System

by Richard Wilk

Published 2006 “Consumer Culture and Extractive Industry on the Margins of the World System.” In Consumer Cultures: Global Perspectives, Edited by John Brewer and Frank Trentmann, Oxford: Berg Publishers. Pp. 123-144.

New forms of public display and the respectability of the conjugal family, we are told, fueled the demand for new goods and drove the cycle of fashion.  In this paper I search in another direction for a major contributor to the historical expansion of mass consumption; to the working classes who were on the distant frontiers of the expanding European economic system, beginning in the 16th century.

The setting I will explore is the male “crew” engaged in manual  labor, producing, transporting, and extracting valuable goods for long distance trade. These men subsisted for long periods on basic rations under harsh discipline and constant supervision, engaging in dangerous and often brutal labor. These periods of privation, brightened only by rations of liquor and tobacco, alternated with short bursts of wild revelry and dissolution which only ended when money and credit were exhausted. The rhythm of rations and binges defined working class consumption for hundreds of thousands of loggers, sailors, miners, sealers, whalers, cowboys and pirates for more than 400 years, and it continues today among male-dominated manual professions. This ‘binge economy’ also made important contributions to the fantasies and imagination that are keys to the modern mass culture of consumption.

Uncovering the Man in Medicine: Lessons Learned from a Case Study of Cluster Headache

Unlike other pain disorders, which tend to affect women, cluster headache is thought to predominantly affect men. Drawing on ethnography, interviews with headache researchers, and an analysis of the medical literature, this article describes how this epidemiological “fact”—which recent research suggests may be overstated—has become the central clue used by researchers who study cluster headache, fundamentally shaping how they identify and talk about the disorder. Cluster headache presents an extreme case of medicalized masculinity, magnifying the processes of gendering and bringing into relief features of the world whose routine operation we might otherwise overlook.
