  • Clashes in Confinement: Men's Gendered Experiences With
    CLASHES IN CONFINEMENT: MEN’S GENDERED EXPERIENCES WITH CONFLICT IN CANADIAN PRISONS By Alicia D. Horton A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA DECEMBER 2016 Copyright Alicia D. Horton 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation presents the results of in-depth qualitative interviews with twenty-three formerly imprisoned men regarding their lived experience with prison conflict and the pain of incarceration. The results suggest that prison is a gendered ‘total institution’ (Goffman 1961). The pains that men experience in prison are uniquely gendered in that the deprivations imposed by incarceration– deprivation of autonomy, liberty, goods and services, heterosexual sex, and security (Sykes 1958) – in the reverse, define idealized masculinity as it is currently socially constructed: self-reliance, independence, toughness or invulnerability, material and economic success, and heterosexual prowess. From these shared deprivations emerges a gendered code of conduct that perpetuates a hierarchy among incarcerated men by constructing violent masculinity as a subcultural norm. The results suggest that the gender code in prison represents a set of rules that create opportunities for men to police each other’s gender performance and make claims to masculine statuses. Because status is inextricably tied to survival in this context, many men feel pressured to perform violent masculinities in prison despite privately subscribing to a non-violent sense of self-concept. The results suggest that violence is an expressive and instrumental resource for men in prison. A gender theory of prison violence, methodological findings, theoretical implications, ethical considerations and the short and long term aftermath of violent prison conflict are discussed.

THE PORTRAYAL OF SUICIDE IN POSTMODERN JAPANESE LITERATURE AND POPULAR CULTURE MEDIA Pedro Manço Teixeira Honors Thesis Final Draft, Spring 2014 Thesis Advisor: Kyle Keoni Ikeda INTRODUCTION Within Japanese society, suicide has been a recurring cultural and social concern explored extensively in various literary and artistic forms, and has evolved into a serious societal epidemic by the end of the 20 th century. This project investigates contemporary Japan’s suicide epidemic through an analysis of the portrayal of suicide in post-1970s Japanese literature, films, and popular culture media of manga 1 and anime 2, and in comparison to empirical data on suicide in Japan as presented in peer-reviewed psychology articles. In the analysis of these contemporary works, particular attention was given to their targeted demographic, the profiles of the suicide victims in the stories, the justifications for suicide, and the relevance of suicide to the plot of each work.

    Tr-agic: SLJic:idE! By Suzanne Siegel The Bowen Elementary School in Newton is working to heal itself after Phyllis Margolin, a first-grade teacher for 23 years at the school, took her life on Oct. 27. The 50-year-old single Brighton woman "apparently jumped from the sixth floor window of her condominium at 85 Brainerd Road," according to a police report. Margolin tied two bags of cat litter to her wrists and jumped from her window at about 10:55 a.m. The suicide took place a day after the school's principal, Jerrold Katz, and the parents ofone of her students, approached Margolin with allegations she had struck a child for the second time in two weeks in anger, according to an article in the Boston Globe. Said one administrator at Bowen, who asked not to be identified, counseling programs have been put in place for students and faculty who need it. "We're trying to go forward and deal with it," said the administrator. "We' ve been through a Jot and we want to move on." Margolin was disciplined Sept. 19, for striking one of her first-grade students, and in the second occurence, she allegedly slapped a child across the face on Friday, Oct. 23. Following that incident, Katz met with the parents and Margolin on the next Monday to investigate the charges, assistant superintendent for elementary education, David Michaud, Suicide scene: where elementary school teacher PhylUs Margolin jumped to her death told the Globe. The policy of the school district is generally to fire a teacher after a second from her 85 Brainerd Road condo, following allegations she had struck a student at the offense of that kind.
