Full textLiterature tends to assume implicitly the existence of a biological determinism to explain the differences between men and women entrepreneurs. Our aim was to study the representations of business performance based on the notion of sex (biological sex: female & male), and gender (the social sex: feminity & masculinity). Could masculinity and/or femininity reveal differences in representing business performance between men and women entrepreneurs? Three quantitative studies, based on ANOVA and t-Test, were used to analyze data collected by questionnaire from 244 entrepreneurs. A qualitative study was used to model data collected during individual interview of six entrepreneurs.We found that differences in representing business performance cannot be revealed neither by the distinction of category of sex (male / female), nor by gender categories (Male, Female, Androgynous, Undifferentiated) as defined by the Bem Sex Role Inventory. Also, we confirm that collective representations of the performance by the entrepreneurs have evolved and go well beyond the simple pursuit of economic profit, and can be more closely related to current social values

Zazueta, Suzette E. "Purifying the body| Contemporary notions of purity and pollution concerning intersex persons." Thesis, California State University, Long Beach, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10131634.
Full textThere is little research into the effect religion may have on the gender assignment of intersex persons. This research addresses that issue, exploring the possible roots of contemporary gender assignment practices in ancient notions of purity and pollution, or purity rules, and argues that such customs or norms influence contemporary perspectives and attitudes surrounding gender identity. This work examines the practice of gender assignment of intersex persons in the “Western” world, along with any and all associated medical procedures and the teaching of gender performance and the adoption of gender performance by the subjects, and suggests that the practice of gender assignment is, in fact, a ritual practice stemming from western notions of purity and pollution surrounding the body, specifically, gender as it relates to the body. Finally, this work concludes that the “Western” notion of purity and pollution which frame the ritual practice of gender assignment, have failed to evolve despite advances in science, psychology and social ethics and thus, this ritual practice needs to be seriously reexamined.

Full textUntil the 1990s, the European gender equality policy has been characterized by an ‘exception model’: women are considered as a special group; Community action is mainly regulatory and limited to the employment sphere; the gender equality policy community is restricted and committed to its cause; there are few but strongly-connected institutional structures. Since the 1990s, the European gender equality policy has been undergoing a process of change: the mechanisms have been progressive but the results have been of major significance. The change has been systematized and precipitated by gender mainstreaming (art. 3. 2. TEC) and the European gender regime has been profoundly disrupted. A new ‘anti-discrimination model’ can be observed: the women category is treated along with other social groups; soft law prevails and concerns all the EU’s fields of action; actors and institutions are numerous and diverse. The tension between the equality norm and the market norm which is specific to this policy has also undergone a change of nature: the two were complementary within the limit of equality in a market order while equality is now made instrumental so as to serve the market. This change of policy is revealed by a systematic tracing of the emergence, institutionalisation and implementation of gender mainstreaming and by the analysis of the interaction between instruments and actors. As a trans-sector and soft instrument, the study of gender mainstreaming also helps to enlighten some of the transformations of the European public action and governance (reflexivity, shift of constraint, civil society mobilization and participation control)

Full textLesbian and gay activists have used various performance techniques as political tools to de-stabilize notions of identity and the fixity of the representational process. Some lesbian and gay academics have developed a "queer" theoretical perspective that concurrently binds and privileges fluid concepts of representation, identity formation, and gender/sexuality performativity. In this thesis, I argue that the convergence of performance and performativity within the work of Annie Sprinkle yields an especially clear potential for the disruption of a signification process that consistently demonizes the sexual "Other."

Full textWithin the scientific field of female and male substance abuse, women have often been described as if they have other and more complex needs than men. The man and his social situation, problems and needs are in general described as the norm. Social workers base their assessments and decisions on ideas of what specific needs men and women have. These ideas are produced and reproduced by the prevailing discourses that operate in this specific social domain. This study examines which central discourses that can be identified in the social workers notions about female and male abuse, further how these discourses operate and are reproduced and how that may implicate the social practise. This has been investigated through a critical discourse analysis of six semi-structured interviews with social workers active on the field of substance abuse. The results show three main discourses: 1) women’s vulnerability and complex care needs, 2) men in the shadow, and 3) the individual in focus. These three constitute what in this paper is called the scientific discourse on female and male abuse. Despite they are somewhat contradictory, the study shows how social workers form their statements in line with all three, thus justifying the way they act and organize their work. The discourse about the individual in focus emerges as dominate in relation to the other two and appears to be a discourse that creates good social workers and encourages clients' autonomy. Through this discourse status the other two, with a focus on gender, are relegated to the background and the prevailing gender order in society risks being maintained. Finally, it appears the discourse of the individual in focus seem un- problematized both in the scientific and practical field of social work with substance abuse, which may have the consequence that social workers unreflective and unknowingly puts clients into oppressive categories.

Smith, Kirsty. ""Notions of gender within the ANC Youth League (ANCYL): a key to understanding present-day responses to gender controversies"." Thesis, 2014.
Find full textThis work discusses the ANCYL constitution, the 2001 “ANCYL and its role in the struggle for Gender Equality” and the “ANCYL Perspective on Gender Relations and Women’s Emancipation” (of 2011) and unpacks the ways in which a particular conceptualisation of gender relations (within these documents) may provide insight into ANCYL responses to contemporary gender controversies. Drawing on a Foucauldian framework, this research considers the ways in which discourses work to construct a particular understanding of gender relations (within the Youth League). These discourses include gender as a social construct, the distinction between sex/gender, the fixity of the category of sex and heterosexual desire. This work extends these insights and suggests that there is a particular shape of hegemonic masculinity at play within the Youth League – a shape of masculinity that stands at odds with the provisions of ANCYL documents that commit to the pursuit of equal gender relations.
