<Wednesday 19:10ー(First session 9/22)>
R.W. Connell
『Masculinities』University of California Press, 1995.
Masculinity Studies recently gain much attention in Humanities/Sociology
areas.
We will read R.W.Connell's 'Masculinities' which is said the most
important basic book.
The book is the theoretical and experimental study.
It argues about the "masculinity" which has been usually taken for granted
from the viewpoint of plurality and hierarchy.
The discussion could be mainly in Japanese, but the text is in English.

We will read some texts of the critical theory related to Gender and
Sexuality Studies.
For example, Judith Butler, "Imitation and Gender Insubordination",
Robert McRer, "As Good As It Gets", Judith Halberstam, "Female
Masculinity", etc.
The texts are all in English.
The discussion will be in Japanese.
