Relations
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <Background:
Thorne’s article (1997a) on gender arrangements in elementary school
indicates the prevalence of “distance” in gender relations between men and
women. By distance I mean the gender separation that develops in patterns
of social relations and social institutions. As Klaus Theweleit’s
illustrates in his understandings of the relationships of masculinity and
the fear of the feminine in Male Fantasies, the nature of
contemporary relationships between men and women is unfortunately
undergirded by fascism (1987). Shuttleworth's quote offers an interesting
perspective on the issue of relationships between men and women:
“throughout Western culture, the male/female divide has operated as a
crucial site of ideological deployment” (Shuttleworth 1990: 52).
The
Ads:
The implications of the following ads are quite depressing. Consider
ad 25: what does it say about relationships in our society? Or in terms of
image 5, would men truly want to be regarded in the light that they are
presented in? In terms of ad 27, can we ask if we should allow our
relationships to be dominated by commodities? Or, in terms of image 11,
how do we feel with the idea that we are telling men to use alcohol to
assault women? We should all be ashamed of the society, OURS!, that
produces these ads. As you will note, the two majors forces that are
portended in the ads' understanding of relationships is alcohol and
consumerism (such as in diamond rings). Questions:
(1) In what ways are relationships connected to materialism and consumer
culture? Are there any common themes? (2) What strategies can be used
teach people to appreciate the qualities of their relationships as opposed
to the values of relationships purported by companies and advertising? >
