Dismantling Noah's Ark: Gender and Equality 282 Notes 303 Bibliography 335 Index 413 Page ix PREFACE This book has been two years in the writing and twenty years in the thinking. I taught my first sex roles course in 1972; it was a new course, called Male and Female in American Society. A few years later, I got the name changed to Sociology of Gender. A few years after that, I taught my first women's studies course. (Actually, I taught a precursor of all these courses in 1970—a two-credit, large-enrollment course called, of all things, Courtship and Marriage!) These titles in many ways chart the development of the field, which was paralleled by my own intellectual development in thinking about the relationships between women and men, relationships we took for granted in the days of "courtship and marriage." Sociologists for Women in Society (sws) started twenty years ago, too. In addition to countless absorbing conversations about gender with women whose thinking was also evolving, sws gave me the opportunity of being the founding editor of Gender & Society from 1986 through 1990. In this position, I had the privilege of helping to develop feminist social science theory and research. As editor I was able to hone my own ideas about gender, particularly its social construction. The language of this book reflects the style I developed as editor of Gender & Society. I made a distinction between gender as a social phenomenon and the social phenomenon of biological sex. Gender, sexuality, and sex are distinct concepts in this book. "Women" and "men" are not equated with "females'' and "males" and are not assumed to be heterosexual. Where "sex" is used, it connotes a biological or physiological category that is also socially constructed. I distinguish sex from sexuality, because sexual orientation, identification, and Page x sexual practices are similarly socially constructed and have their own genealogy and politics. In an effort to bring more precision to the designation of racial ethnic groups, particularly in a country as heterogeneous as the United States, I have tried to indicate the groups' social relationship to each other as "dominant group and subordinated group," rather than "majority" and "minority," which are clearly misnomers. For authors who use their birth name and their married name, both last names are used in the text. In the citations in parentheses only the final name is given, and the references are alphabetized by the first letter of the final name, following English-language practice. The exceptions are women who follow Hispanic usage, where both names are integral as final names. In Oriental names, I have used the first name as the family name, the second name as the given name. The bibliography, long as it is, is by no means exhaustive. For the most part, the citations represent the works that were most interesting to me and most important to scholars in the area, as indicated by frequency of citation. However, a glance at the references in publications in any of the specialized areas will demonstrate that their depth and breadth far exceed my limited listing. I concentrated on publications since 1980, but many of the ideas, theories, and premises of feminist scholarship were first presented in the early 1970s in books and papers that have become classics. Although many of the early journal articles have by now been reprinted, some in many anthologies, I have tried to cite the earliest appearance in order to give the reader an idea of how feminist thinking has developed. The last chapter ofthe book is a greatly revised version of "Dismantling Noah's Ark," originally published in Sex Roles 14 (1986): 567-80. For helping me organize and refine the concepts presented in this book, I am indebted to my students at the CUNY Graduate School, who commented on early drafts of chapters of the book, and the members of the gender seminar at Bar Ilan University, who commented on later drafts. Patricia Y ancey Martin, Barbara Katz Rothman, and Dafna Izraeli, who read the entire manuscript, have my heartfelt thanks. I am also grateful to Susan Farrell for being a sounding board for my ideas during the years she was managing editor of Gender & Society and for supplying me with many pertinent articles during the time I was writing this book. My thanks also to Susan Zimmerman, who gave me the citations on Renaissance cross-dressing and the theater and The Roaring Girl, Daphne Page xi Achilles, who lent me her copy of The Exultation of Inanna, and David Abrams and Diane Kelly for a wonderful firsthand experience of prehistoric cave art in France with Past Times Tours. My editor, Gladys Topkis, recognized the worth of my ideas about gender from a very sketchy proposal and gave me the impetus to launch this project. Elliot Weininger, Susan Farrell, and Sharon Sherman did the indispensable runs back and forth from the various CUNY libraries. Helga Feder and the CUNY Graduate School Mina Reese Library staff have my gratitude for filling with dispatch my endless requests for interlibrary loan books. During 1992-93, when I was finishing the book, I had the benefit of a sabbatical fellowship in Israel that was funded by the United States—Israel Educational Foundation (Fulbright Award). Most of all, I am indebted to all those feminists who have done the research and developed the theories of gender I used. My book is a synthesis of their gigantic and heroic endeavors. If I have taken feminist ideas a little farther by showing the underlying structure and processes of what I call the social institution of gender, it will pay off some of my great debt to the feminist scholarship of the past twenty years. Page 1 INTRODUCTION When a new field of study emerges, it is usually based theoretically and in research practice on premises and problems current at the time. But as research brings in data that do not fit into accepted theory, the field begins to go through what Thomas Kuhn (1970) calls a scientific revolution. Eventually, if the field is to progress, it needs a new paradigm: new theories and new research questions. In this book, I offer a new paradigm of gender—gender as a social institution. Its focus is the analysis of gender as a social structure that has its origins in the development of human culture, not in biology or procreation. Like any social institution, gender exhibits both universal features and chronological and cross-cultural variations that affect individual lives and social interaction in major ways. As is true of other institutions, gender's history can be traced, its structure examined, and its changing effects researched. My concept of gender differs from previous conceptualizations in that I do not locate it in the individual or in interpersonal relations, although the construction and maintenance of gender are manifest in personal identities and in social interaction. Rather, I see gender as an institution that establishes patterns of expectations for individuals, orders the social processes of everyday life, is built into the major social organizations of society, such as the economy, ideology, the family, and politics, and is also an entity in and of itself. When studies of gender started, the field was called "sex roles." The perspective of sex roles is psychological and focused on individual attitudes and attributes.

  • Reducing Gender Stereotypes in Toys and Play for Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder Kids • Erica S
    Reducing Gender Stereotypes in Toys and Play for Smarter, Stronger, and Kinder Kids • Erica S. Weisgram The author discusses gender differences in children’s play and its relation to the programs of Sesame Street, which for fifty years has sought to enhance children’s physical, cognitive, and social development through playful learning. Gender differences in children’s play, she asserts, are vast, and she notes that, consequently, boys and girls may develop different skills and learn different concepts through their play. Given this, Sesame Street remains committed to gender equity and opposed to gender stereotypes and seeks to prevent the development of and reduce the endorsement of these stereotypes among young children, especially in their play. Key words: gender equity; gender schema; gender stereotypes; gender-typed play; gender-typed toys; Sesame Street For fifty years, Sesame Street has been a leader in children’s television, producing innovative programming aimed at helping children to grow “smarter, stronger, and kinder” (Sesame Workshop 2019). Learning through play, one of the principal themes of its programming, offers a primary path for preschool children to grow and develop (Singer, Golinkoff, and Hirsh-Pasek 2006). However, given that boys and girls have very different play styles and toy interests starting in preschool, they may be growing smarter, stronger, and kinder at different rates or along different developmental trajectories. Thus, promoting gender equity and reducing gender stereotypes are important for minimizing gender differentiation and have been, and continue to be, an integral part of Sesame Workshop’s mission (Davis 2009; Cole et al. 2016). In this article, I first briefly summarize the current research in psychology about children’s gender-typed play behaviors.

  • Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: the Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945
    CRUCIBLES OF VIRTUE AND VICE: THE ACCULTURATION OF TRANSATLANTIC ARMY OFFICERS, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 John F. Morris All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Crucibles of Virtue and Vice: The Acculturation of Transatlantic Army Officers, 1815-1945 John F. Morris Throughout the long nineteenth century, the European Great Powers and, after 1865, the United States competed for global dominance, and they regularly used their armies to do so. While many historians have commented on the culture of these armies’ officer corps, few have looked to the acculturation process itself that occurred at secondary schools and academies for future officers, and even fewer have compared different formative systems. In this study, I home in on three distinct models of officer acculturation—the British public schools, the monarchical cadet schools in Imperial Germany, Austria, and Russia, and the US Military Academy—which instilled the shared and recursive sets of values and behaviors that constituted European and American officer cultures. Specifically, I examine not the curricula, policies, and structures of the schools but the subterranean practices, rituals, and codes therein. What were they, how and why did they develop and change over time, which values did they transmit and which behaviors did they perpetuate, how do these relate to nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century social and cultural phenomena, and what sort of ethos did they produce among transatlantic army officers? Drawing on a wide array of sources in three languages, including archival material, official publications, letters and memoirs, and contemporary nonfiction and fiction, I have painted a highly detailed picture of subterranean life at the institutions in this study.

Hernández Adrián An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright by Kadji Amin 2009 Abstract This dissertation explores the concept of agential abjection through Jean Genet’s involvement with and writings about the struggles of disenfranchised and pathologized peoples. Following Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler has argued that modern subjectivity requires the production of a domain of abjected beings denied subjecthood and forced to live "unlivable" lives. "Agencies of Abjection" brings these feminist theories of abjection to bear on multiple coordinates of social difference by exploring forms of abjection linked to sexuality, criminality, colonialism, and racialization. Situating Genet within an archive that includes the writings of former inmates of penal colonies, Francophone intellectuals, and Black Panther Party members, I analyze both the historical forces that produce abjection and the collective forms of agency that emerge from subaltern social forms.
