SUMMARY:International Relations Committee invites you to a talk on "Masculinity and the Fear of the Feminine" by Prof. Ciara Cremin, University of Auckland
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nConnell’s term hegemonic masculinity is rejected for three prin
 cipal reasons: the concept lacks precision; the description does not fit wh
 at is in fact ‘hegemonic’ thus decentring the problem away from ordinary me
 n; and it does not provide a means through which to theorise how the ideal 
 undergoes change. A new typology of masculinities that draws on Freud’s obs
 ervation of a repudiation of femininity in men and women is proposed in its
  place. There are three archetypes: RAMS (reactive / aggravated masculiniti
 es); ARMS (avoidant / restrictive masculinities) and REMS (reflective / exp
 erimental masculinities). RAMS and REMS are the opposing types that calibra
 te the masculine ideal on the ARMS continuum. The notion of a ‘calibrated m
 asculinity’ replaces Connell’s concept. Bearing the symptoms of a psycholog
 ical disorder, what is called the masculine disorder is essential for capit
 alist reproduction and expansion.\nProf. Ciara Cremin, \nUniversity of Auck
 land \n\n Speaker bio: Ciara Cremin lectures in sociology and leads the Gen
