Full textAbstract:
Les dernières décennies du XIXe siècle, alors que le romantisme laissait la place aux mouvements tels que le Parnasse, la décadence et le symbolisme, virent l’émergence d’un poète dont l’influence en France et à l’étranger ira bien au-delà de sa courte vie. Avant sa mort en 1887 à l’âge de 27 ans, Jules Laforgue passa cinq années à Berlin, ville où il rencontra sa future femme et où il composa la majorité de son œuvre. Ces années tournantes marquèrent également une évolution de la représentation de la femme en littérature, la misogynie des poètes comme Baudelaire remplacée au fur et à mesure par une volonté plutôt optimiste qui consiste à permettre aux femmes de s’assumer et de prendre la parole. Jules Laforgue y joua un rôle important, et l’on peut suivre dans son œuvre le développement de ses idées. Des clichés sexistes se transforment finalement en une vision de la femme comme compagne et égale de l’homme, qu’il s’agisse des histoires « fraternelles » ou amoureuses. Laforgue, sensible aux tendances artistiques et littéraires de son époque, s’attaqua à quelques sujets alors très en vogue – Salomé, Ophélie, la femme fatale, la femme-vampire, l’Éternel Féminin – pour y laisser son empreinte par un savant mélange de parodie, d’ironie, d’anachronisme et même des idées féministes. Les femmes impuissantes et silencieuses des premiers poèmes se trouvent, surtout dans les Moralités légendaires et les Derniers vers, dotées d’une voix et d’une détermination à prendre en main leur destin, ce qui peut mener à la mort (Salomé) ou à l’épanouissement (Andromède). Bien qu’il ne fût pas un féministe avoué, Laforgue fit évoluer l’image de la femme en littérature au seuil du XXe siècleIn the final decades of the nineteenth century, as Romanticism waned and was replaced by various movements such as Parnassianism, Decadence, and Symbolism, a poet emerged who was to have an influence on literature in France and abroad that far exceeds his short life. Before his death in 1887 at the age of 27, Jules Laforgue spent most of his writing career in Berlin, where he met his future wife, the Englishwoman Leah Lee, and where he wrote the majority of his poetry and prose. These same years also marked an evolution of the portrayal of women in literature, the misogyny of poets such as Baudelaire gradually being replaced by an optimistic willingness to empower women by giving them a voice and allowing them some control over their destiny. Jules Laforgue played an important role in this literary development, and his work reflects the sexist prejudices of his time, which he left behind in order to embrace a vision of women as the companion and equal of men, whether in a fraternal or romantic sense. Laforgue, sensitive to artistic and literary tendencies, took on popular subjects of his day – Salomé, Ophelia, the femme fatale, the female vampire, the Eternal Feminine – and put his own stamp on them through a mixture of parody, irony, anachronism, and feminist ideas. The silent, powerless women of the earlier poems discover, especially in the Moral Tales and the Last Verse, a voice and a determination which can lead to their death (Salomé) or the fulfillment brought by free will and true love (Andromeda). While Laforgue was never an outspoken feminist, he made a major contribution to the literary evolution of women in the years leading up to the twentieth century

Waters, Susan Elfrida. "Psychological androgyny and non-stereotypical educational choice." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1992. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10018782/.
Full textAbstract:
This study was an investigation into the concept of psychological androgyny; its measurement, its antecedents, correlates and outcomes. The primary focus was on the hypothesised links between both androgyny and opposite sex role typing with non-stereotypical choice and achievement in higher education. The study considered whether there might be similar factors that influenced language choices by boys and science choices by girls. Data on family background, personality, past educational experience and attainment and ability was collected from a sample of 158 undergraduates at a college of London university. This was collected via questionnaires, the androgyny questionnaire being adapted for the purpose. A small sub group took some ability tests. A survey of past examination results at both '0' and 'A' level was undertaken to examine the trend over time with regard to stereotypical and non-stereotypical choice and achievement. This established that girls were as capable of achieving in science subjects as boys, and likewise, boys were capable of achieving in languages. The problem was one of school subjects being part of a male or female stereotype, and the non take up of choice early on in the educational system, and consequently there being progressively fewer entries at all stages. The main statistical analyses of the data found there were gender differences in both the antecedents of and the outcomes of being androgynous. Significant factors were the occupation of the father, the influence of the mother on upbringing, and whether she was in paid employment or not, and perceived control over outcomes. For this sample, school type also had an effect. No link was found between androgyny and achievement. There were no significant gender differences in achievement. Associations were found between masculinity and position in family and achievement. Grammar school education followed by comprehensive schooling at sixth form level predicted well for this sample. There were no links found between androgyny and nonstereotypical choice, although masculinity and femininity independently had small effects. There were some similarities between male non-stereotypical choice and female non-stereotypical choice, these being a non conforming personality, support from the school, and delay in occupational decision making. Parental roles need further investigation.

Full textAbstract:
Since the advent of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (Bem, 1974) two models, the Androgyny and Masculinity model, have been advanced to explain the sex role literature. This study attempts to rectify several methodological issues by experimentally controlling for the effects of self-esteem and using a quartile-split procedure for sex role type assignment. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate interpersonal problem solving ability among sex role types and to compare the predictions of the Androgyny model and the Masculinity model. The results of both experiments implicate the crucial role of self-esteem in sex role research. Self-esteem, rather than sex role type, appears to be more predictive of adequate psychological adjustment.

Full textAbstract:
Research on the ordination of women has focused on the effect in the church and on aspects of the personality of the women choosing the priesthood but not on effects on the families of ordained women. Using personal interviews, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and the Bem Sex Role Inventory, spouses in 12 families which contain ordained women from Episcopalian, Methodist, Unity and The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints churches were analyzed to determine the effects of ordination on the families. Couples containing an ordained female were found to have slightly higher marital adjustment and significantly higher levels of androgyny than a standardized sample. Androgyny and marital adjustment were significantly correlated. The more androgenous, the greater the marital adjustment.

Full textAbstract:
Research examining student-teacher interactions has tended to focus upon the teacher's perceptions of, and reactions to, his/her students. Such studies have indicated that teachers tend to react differentially to male and female students, that these students are aware of sex-role stereotypes, and that this awareness seems to affect perceptions of self and others, as well as actual performance. The majority of these studies have targeted the perceptions and behaviors of preschool and elementary school children. As there is a dearth of research examining similar variables in adolescents, more intensive investigations need to be conducted before any generalizations about classroom behavior can be drawn.
The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the effects of middle-school students' levels of androgyny and self-esteem on classroom behavior, as well as to examine the impact of these variables on students' performance attributions and classroom perceptions. Students were asked to complete questionnaires assessing their levels of androgyny and self-esteem, and their perceptions of which of their peers perform various behaviors. While few significant differences were found by degree of androgyny for student behaviors, student sex did seem to play a role in which classroom behaviors were exhibited. Peer behavior in the classroom was related to students' sex and level of androgyny. Internal and external attributions for performance seemed to be affected by degree of androgyny. Boys received higher grades than girls in both science/computer science and English, although there were no sex differences for grade expectations. High-androgynous individuals tended to have higher self-esteem than low-androgynous individuals. Implications for the conceptualization of androgyny were discussed, as well as empirical findings and developmental issues.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
The majority of studies concerning psychological sex and management style have indicated that people consider the masculine style of managing to be the most popular. However, such studies are out of date and/or were usually measuring the perceptions of surveyed college students. Few studies have focused on successful managers in successful organizations. A modified version of the Bern Sex Role Inventory was distributed to 52 managers in a Total Quality Management organization. This study hypothesized that successful managers would be androgynous managers. The results of the study indicated that successful managers are androgynous managers, and that there is no significant difference in the number of female and male androgynous managers.

Van, Oeveren Margaret Ann. "Interpersonal functional flexibility : an antecedent of authoritative parenting?" Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/28305.
Full textAbstract:
It has been asserted that androgynous individuals are both competent and flexible and that, as such, they should be most likely to be authoritative parents (highly demanding/highly responsive) (Spence & Helmreich, 1978). However, studies examining the association between psychological androgyny and this optimal parenting strategy (Baumrind, 1982; Spence & Helmreich, 1978) have reached conflicting conclusions. The position taken in this study is that there is a logical association between androgyny and authoritative parenting at the construct level, but that the component of androgyny critical to this link is functional flexibility (the ability to appropriately deploy both masculine and feminine attributes across multi-interpersonal domains) rather than the simple possession of both masculine and feminine traits per se. In view of this argument, earlier studies share a significant limitation. Their operational definitions of androgyny fail to reflect the functional flexibility aspect of the construct definition, thus allowing individuals who possess both masculine and feminine traits but who are not functionally flexible to be classified as androgynous. This study had two objectives. The first was to retest Spence and Helmreich's (1978) hypothesis that androgyny is positively related to authoritative parenting using a measure which would assess functional flexibility. The second objective was to demonstrate that authoritative parenting requires flexibility with respect to a whole range of interpersonal abilities rather than simply masculine and feminine attributes. A sample of 96 mothers with children between the ages of 7 and 12 were asked to complete a battery of questionnaires which included Bern's (1974) Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), Paulhus and Martin's (1987) Battery of Interpersonal Capabilities (BIC), and the Block (1965) Childrearing Practices Report: Q-Sort (CRPR). Contrary to what was expected, neither androgyny nor flexibility with respect to the whole range of interpersonal attributes was positively associated with authoritative parenting. Certain problems with the content of the parenting measure may have contributed to the lack of association. To minimize some of the problems with its content the method of using the parenting Q-sort was revised. The new analyses involved categorizing mothers according to warmth and demandingness--a method similar to that used in earlier studies. In these further analyses few significant differences in parenting style were found between androgynous mothers and other mothers. The most notable difference arose when the sex of the child was considered. Although, overall, androgynous mothers were not more likely to be bad parents, they were more likely than other mothers to be permissive with their sons.Arts, Faculty of

Bak, John Steven. "Tennessee Williams and the southern dialetic : in search of androgyny." Virtual Press, 1993. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/862289.
Full textAbstract:
Blanche DuBois marked the most significant literary achievement of Tennessee Williams. Though her rape functions dramatically as a powerful climax which has troubled critics and bothered audiences, it is more a thematic culmination of Blanche's inability to sequester her sexuality. In fact, nearly everything Williams wrote prior to 1947 was building toward Blanche's rape; nearly everything that came after was a thematic attempt to resolve that issue left incomplete in her character--the southern dialectic, the preponderant theme and unsolved riddle of Williams's long career.The southern dialectic--a model developed from the joint theories of southern historian W. J. Cash, theorist Allen Tate, novelist William Faulkner, literary critic C. Hugh Holman, and playwright Tennessee Williams--is the internalization of opposites virulent in human nature which seeks to synthesize its disparate traits. Williams juxtaposed onto most of his characters this metaphysical debate between antinomies, most notably flesh and spirit, past and present, and miscegenation. Although he explored each with precise attention to balance, Williams returnedto flesh and spirit and its teleological (as opposed to theological) assessment of the human condition as his thematic touchstone.From his first performed play in 1935 to his last works of-the Eighties, Williams harnessed the dialectic in himself --between his innate desire for flesh and his learned duties to spirit--and generated from it the art that was as much his career as it was his exercise in psychotherapy. By placing both traits in his characters and dramatizing their interaction through two key images--the cat and the bird, whose own timeless battle reflected the same attraction/ repulsion nexus of the flesh-spirit dialectic--Williams could search for the one-androgynous hero who, like Christ, would successfully integrate them.Androgyny, for Williams, was not strictly hermaphroditism, though he was drawn to the asexual, but the ideal state of human existence--the integration of paradoxically repellent and attractive forces created by the dialectic. Though his Grail-like pursuit led him to discover different ways to end or survive this dialectic (denial, then death, then endurance), Williams's search for his androgynous hero would ultimately be in vain.Department of English

Full textAbstract:
Zinaida Gippius's literary works are striking for the development of the theme of androgyny.Chapter One examines the major Russian Symbolist intellectuals in their treatment of androgyny, which was animated by a desire to transfigure the world. Gippius's treatment of androgyny was at odds with the prevailing theory because it was not based on the defeminization of humanity.
Chapter Two addresses Gippius's reconstruction of Symbolist androgyny theory and explains the rejection of gender-based motivation in her metaphysical system by its orientation toward personality and an awareness of God.
Chapter Three shows how she used her poetry and prose to advance her belief that a perfect, androgynous love could reunite humanity with God. While Gippius's prose describes the search for this type of love, her poetry deals with it as a lyric experience.
The religious motivations of Gippius's redefinition of Symbolist androgyny indicate the need to re-evaluate the place of Orthodox Christianity in the evolution of Russian Symbolism.

The purpose of this research was to examine significant change, if any, in instrumental and expressive traits during adulthood. The research was designed to test the assumption that chronological age and psychosocial stage are related to instrumentality and expressiveness.The present study utilized the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) and a personal information questionnaire. The research question was: Are there differences in traits of instrumentality and expressiveness at different stages of adult development?Three hundred sixty-three men and women between the ages of 20 and 70 participated in the study. The sample included 164 men and 197 warren. Participants were members of volunteer organizations. They were assigned to different groups based on age and psychosocial development.Four 3 x 3 Analyses of Variance procedures were performed. There were three levels of age: (1) 20-35, (2) 36-50, and (3) 51-70. Categorization of psychosocial stage included: (1) no children, (2) children from birth to graduation from high school, and (3) all children graduated from high school. Sex was not combined, rather separate analysis was performed on each sex. The dependent variables were expressiveness and instrumentality as defined by scores on the Personal Attributes Questionnaire. The following effects were studied:(1) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of instrumentality in men.(2) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of expressiveness in men.(3) Effects of age and psychosocial stage on traits of instrumentality in women.(4) Effect of age and psychosocial stage on traits of expressiveness in women.The results of the research indicated that traits of instrumentality and expressiveness in men and women do not change significantly during adulthood. No significant differences were found in men or women with regard to age and psychosocial development on traits of instrumentality and expressiveness.

Full textAbstract:
This study was designed to investigate the correlation of the variables of gender, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality preferences, and androgyny as measured by the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) in Counselor Education graduate students. Instruments were administered to Counselor Education graduate students at nine institutions in five national regions. A total of 172 participants (18 males and 154 females) who were enrolled in Master's level theories courses or practicum courses completed a student information sheet, informed consent, MBTI, and BSRI. Instruments were hand scored and chi-square test was used to determine significance of the hypotheses; the saturated model of log linear analysis was the statistic used for the research question. As predicted, of the sixteen MBTI types, the most common for Counselor Education graduate students emerged as ENFP: extraversion, intuition, feeling, and perception. Additionally, this MBTI type was found to be significantly more common among the population of Counselor Education graduate students than is found among the general population. The expectation that more male Counselor Education graduate students would score higher on the androgyny scale of the BSRI was unsupported; low sample size for male Counselor Education graduate students prevented use of chi-square; however, it was apparent through the use of the statistic of raw frequencies that males clustered around every other category except androgyny. The hypothesis that more female Counselor Education graduate students would score higher on the feminine scale was also unsupported, as equal distribution of the females occurred within all four categories of the BSRI. It was hypothesized that males with a sensing and thinking preference on the MBTI would tend toward the masculine dimension of the BSRI more than males with an intuitive and feeling preference. This was unsupported as well. Female Counselor Education graduate students with an intuitive and feeling preference did, however, demonstrate a greater tendency toward the feminine classification on the BSRI than did females with a sensing and thinking preference, so that this hypothesis was retained. No significant relationship was found between the variables of MBTI type, BSRI classification, and gender.

Full textAbstract:
L'ambiguïté sexuelle à l'adolescence est un agencement particulier du sexuel, de la bisexualité psychique et de la différence entre les sexes. Ses manifestations apparaissent comme une transition entre le sexuel infantile et l'identité sexuée. La lecture assidue de mangas contribue à l'auto-découverte des adolescents et témoigne d'une modalité d'un processus de subjectivation. Le traitement du sexuel dans les mangas pour jeunes filles fait singulièrement écho aux Trois Essais de Freud. Ces mangas mettent en scène des contenus qui relèvent de théories sexuelles. Infantiles et, plus généralement, du sexuel infantile comme lieu de transformations pulsionnelles et de fantasmes caractérisés par la polymorphie, la plasticité et la coexistence de tendresse et de sensualité. Diverses incidences de l'infantile ont été repérées qui rendent la question de son inscription dans le psychisme particulièrement actuelle : l'ambiguïté sexuelle des personnages, l'esthétique du kawaï, l'expressivité des regards et des onomatopées, les frissons de désir ou d'effroi. Ces mangas déploient la richesse fantasmatique particulièrement active ou ravivée à l'adolescence. Ils facilitent les remaniements des identifications et participent d'une inscription dans une identité sexuelle qui s'exprime dans la masculinité ou la féminité et qui est, pour chacun de nous, en permanente redéfinition. Les personnages et les fantasmes typiques de l'adolescence figurés dans les mangas nous renseignent sur la féminité contemporaine et sur l'évolution des représentations sexuelles collectives, dérivées de la sexualité infantile active en chacun de nous indépendamment de l'âgeSexual ambiguity at adolescence is a distinctive pattern of psychic bisexuality and of the difference between sexes. Its manifestations appear as a transition between infantile sexuality and sex identity. An assiduous reading of mangas contributes to self-discovery of adolescents and is witness to one aspect of a process of self-definition. The treatment of sexuality in mangas for girls is a singular echo of Freud's Three Essays. These mangas are expressions of infantile sexual theories and, more generally, of infantile sexuality as the locus of impulse transformation, and of fantasies characterized by polymorphous perversity and the coexistence of tenderness and sensuality. Various implications of the infantile inhere which make the question of its occurrence in the psychic development particularly current : the sexual ambiguity of its characters, the aesthetic of the kawaï, facial traits, onomatopoeic language, the vibrancy of desire and of fright. The mangas deploy the rich fantasmagoria particularly aroused at adolescence. They make casier a shift of identifications and help delineate male and/or female identity which, for everyone of us, is in constant redefinition. The characters and their fantasies typical of adolescence as delineated in the mangas describe contemporary feminity and the evolution of collective sexual representations drawn from infantile sexuality, active in us all, independant of age

estrous cyclicity, postnatal growth, social dominance and
sexual behavior of female beef cattle. Pregnant cows
recieved 17a methyl-testosterone (250 mg/d, sq) on d 40 to
100 (group 1), 70 to 130 (group 2) or 100 to 160 (group 3)
of gestation. Control cows (group 0) received no treatment.
Group 1 females exhibited completely masculinized external.
genitalia. No vulval opening was present and the
ano-genital distance (A-g) was similar to that of control
male calves. Group 2 females exhibited small vulval openings
and enlarged clitoral structures while group 3 females exhibited
normally appearing female external genitalia. Anogenital
distances for the heifers in groups 2 and 3 were
similar to those of the control heifers. Androgen exposure
during the three periods of gestation did not affect age at puberty (P<.80), estrous cycle length (P<.63) or postnatal
growth (P<.60) of the heifers.
At 9, 16 and 21 mo of age, social dominance values (SDV)
were determined for each heifer by 3 min random pair contests
for a restricted feed source. The animal with the greatest
feed source control time was awarded a win. Social dominance
value was calculated as 10 times the number of wins divided
by the number of competitions for each animal. Group 3
heifers had significantly greater SDV values than group 1 and
2 females (P<.03). SDV did not differ among groups at 16 mo
of age (P<.59). Group 1 females had greater SDV than group
2 females at 21 mo of age (P<:.04).
At 9, 16 and 21, mo of age, sexual behavior of the heifers
was characterized by exposure of the heifers to a teaser female in estrus. Sexual behavior, as indicated by the number
of mounts, head placements and interest time, was lower for
group 3 females compared to females in groups 1 and 2 at 9
mo of age (P<.04). There were no treatment differences for
any sexual behavior variable at 16 or 21 mo of age.
These results indicate that there is little potential
for increasing postnatal growth or altering the estrous
cyclicity of female cattle by exposure of the fetus to
testosterone during the periods of gestation selected in this
study. External genitalia of females were masculinized by
androgen exposure during d-40 to 100 of gestation. Social
dominance values were increased and sexual behavior was reduced in females by exposure to androgen during d 100 to 160 of gestation. Social dominance values were increased and sexual behavior was reduced
in females by exposure to androgen during d 100 to 160
of gestation.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
L’étude du genre et des médias est une thématique abordée par la critique féministe, qui s’intéresse prioritairement aux représentations stéréotypées des femmes dans les messages médiatiques. Les stéréotypes médiatiques de genre sont supposés avoir des effets nuisibles pour l’image de la femme et pour l’évolution des rôles de genre dans la société. Souvent l’influence des stéréotypes sur la formation des identités de genre est considérée automatique et uniforme. Mais les récepteurs négocient la signification d’un message médiatique. Un contrat s’établit entre la source des messages et les récepteurs, qui sont loin d’être passifs. De nombreux facteurs sociologiques et psychologiques peuvent influencer la réception des messages de genre. Un de ces facteurs est le genre psychologique, concept de la théorie de l’androgynie psychologique qui décrit la tendance d’un individu d’adopter des comportements traditionnels féminins ou masculins, indépendamment de son sexe biologique. Nous avons présenté des articles de presse féminine contenant des stéréotypes et des contre-stéréotypes de beauté et de jeunesse à des femmes ayant un genre psychologique différent, masculin et féminin, afin d’observer des éventuelles différences dans l’évaluation des articles. Nos résultats montrent que les femmes « masculines » évaluent mieux les articles de presse féminine qui contiennent des contre-stéréotypes de beauté et de jeunesse, tandis que les femmes « féminines » évaluent mieux les articles stéréotypés. Le genre psychologique détermine la direction de cette évaluation et influence le processus d’identification avec les modèles féminins proposés dans les articles de presse féminineThe study of gender and media is a theme approached by the feminist critique, which is interested primarily in stereotyped representations of women in media messages. Gender stereotypes in the media are supposed to have negative effects on women’s image and on the evolution of gender roles in society. Often, the influence of stereotypes on the formation of gender identities is considered automatic and uniform. But the audience negotiate the meaning of a media message. A contract is established between the source of the message and the audience, which is far from being passive. A great number of sociological and psychological factors can influence the reception of gender messages. One of these factors is the psychological gender, concept of the psychological androgyny theory which describes the tendency of an individual of adopting traditional feminine or masculine behaviour, independently on their biological sex. We presented feminine press articles containing beauty and youth stereotypes and counter-stereotypes to women having a different psychological gender, masculine and feminine, in order to observe possible differences in the evaluation of the articles. Our results show that “masculine” women asses better press articles containing counter-stereotypes of beauty and youth, while “feminine” women asses better stereotypes articles. Psychological gender determine the direction of their evaluation and influence the process of identification with the feminine models proposed in feminine press articles

This study examined gender portrayals in the film, The Crvinq Game. The societal labels for gender, "masculine" and "feminine," are not negative in and of themselves. However, when they are coupled with stereotypes, their power to direct behavior and perception formation can rob people of their freedom to be simply "human." This study primarily focused upon the costs of maintaining, challenging, and abandoning gender role stereotypes as illustrated in The Crvinq Game. Sonja Foss's four-step approach to feminist criticism was used as a tool for examination of this film.By examining the appearances, attitudes, and behaviors of the four central characters in the film, two messages emerged. First, in all four cases, being of a feminine nature was less desirable than being of a masculine nature. Second, Neil Jordan, the film's director, prescribes that all people should transcend the boundaries of gender, and simply allow themselves and others to be human.Jordan's humanistic message also provides insight into expansion of rhetorical methods and theories. Feminist criticism and Queer theory could attempt to transcend the boundaries of gender, and work toward the inclusion of all non-traditional sex roles.Department of Speech Communication

Resumo: Uma atriz investiga as performatividades que envolvem os gêneros masculino e feminino. Como rata de laboratório e sujeito científico, experimenta em si e em corpos a seu redor a mitologia da mulher erótica, procurando ultrapassar dualidades em uma exploração andrógena. O mito grego de Helena foi escolhido como campo de provas, material poético estudado principalmente a partir da tragédia As Troianas, de Eurípedes; das pesquisas históricas de Bettany Hughes; das análises do Prof. Junito de Souza Brandão e do romance da francesa Sophie Chaveau. As questões de Helena serão problematizadas pelo viés dos estudos de gênero de Judith Butler e Beatriz Preciado; e da perspectiva do Imaginário, principalmente em Gaston Bachelard e CG Jung. Abordada a partir de suas subversões da feminilidade, como figura dissonante que permanece na arte ocidental desde Homero, a pesquisa busca a exploração andrógena porque os corpos procuram assumir o feminino e o masculino, se propondo a permanecer nas fronteiras, longe das universalizações, ali onde tudo parece confuso e caótico. Assume-se também uma exploração vadia porque a forma de organização das ideias permite o ir e vir entre teoria e prática sem pudores. Este trabalho é teórico-prático, interdisciplinar e autobiográfico
Abstract: An actress investigates performativities involving males and females roles. As a laboratory rat and scientific subject, experiences itself and the bodies around her with the mythology of the erotic woman, looking to overcome dualities in an androgeny exploration. The Greek myth of Helen is the field trials, an engaging poetic material studied mostly from the tragedy "The Trojan Women", by Euripides; the historical research of Bettany Hughes; the analysis of Prof. Junito de Souza Brandão and the novel of the French Sophie Chaveau. Helen's issues will be problematized from gender studies of Judith Butler and Beatriz Preciado; and the perspective of the Imaginary, especially in Gaston Bachelard and CG Jung. Approached from its subversions of femininity, as dissonant figure that remains in Western art from Homer, the research seeks to an androgeny exploration because the bodies seeking to assume the feminine and the masculine, proposing to remain at the border, away from universalizations, where there everything seems confused and chaotic. It is also assumed a slutty exploration because the organization of ideas allows the coming and going between theory and practice shamelessly. This work is theoretical and practical, interdisciplinary and autobiographical

Full textAbstract:
I investigate why gendered images of Hatshepsut influenced androgynous images of Nefertiti in New Kingdom Egypt and how Nefertiti and Akhenaten used their images in the promotion of their monotheistic religion; through a contextual, stylistic and feminist examination of the images. Hatshepsut cultivated images of herself to legitimize her rule in relation to canonical kings before her. Similarly, Nefertiti represented herself as a figure indiscernible from Akhenaten, creating an image of female co-rulership. Although the visual representations of both Hatshepsut and Nefertiti differ, the concepts behind each are analogous. They both manipulated androgyny to create images displaying powerful women equal in status to male Egyptian kings.

Wise, Steven Ray. "SEX AND GENDER IDENTITY: A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR COLLEGE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT." UKnowledge, 2014. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/epe_etds/26.
Full textAbstract:
One of the goals of college student development professionals is to help undergraduate students develop a meaningful sense of personal identity. Early in the history of the profession, practitioners borrowed freely from related fields such as sociology and psychology to guide their practice, but beginning around the 1960s, scholars began in earnest to develop their own unique body of literature. In this work I examine the development of that scholarly work as it relates to identity development—specifically the evolution of understanding around the issues of sex and gender identity development.
Beginning with William Perry, whose work has impacted so many theories that followed his, I review the work of Nancy Chodorow, who was among the first to note that student development theory based on male samples disadvantaged women, Marcia Baxter-Magolda, Carol Gilligan, Ruthellen Josselson, Mary Field Belenkey, Blythe McVicker Clinchy, Nancy Rule Goldberger, and Jill Mattuck Tarule…and…. I discovered that each of these scholars approached sex and gender from a binary, essentialist, deterministic position which served to limit the understanding of sex and gender issues in the field of college student development. During the same period, work in the fields of anthropology, gender studies, psychology, sociology, and women’s studies were greatly expanding their understanding of sex and gender as components of identity.
In this work I identify the deficiencies and limitations in the research in the field of college student development related to sex and gender identity development; note the challenges to our work with college students because of those deficiencies and limitations, and make practical recommendations to three groups of professionals who operate in the field of college student development—theorists and scholars, practitioners, and educators and provide a model for efficiently effecting change in the field.

In this thesis, Jung’s analytical psychology is adopted as the approach to the study of Orlando: A Biography. Orlando is written by the prominent figure in the field of stream-of-consciousness, Virginia Woolf, and published in 1928. This novel is different from Woolf’s other works because of the lighthearted tone. This novel portrays the incredible life of the title character. Orlando has lived across four centuries (from the late sixteenth century to the early twentieth century) and changes from a man to a woman. Even though Orlando lives through so many years, it seems time does not affect him/her. She is a thirty-six-year-old woman at the end of the novel. From a psychological point of view, the process in which Orlando finds the self-identity is inspiring. This thesis is divided into five chapters. In Chapter One, I briefly introduce Virginia Woolf’s life, her idea of androgyny, and the literary studies of Woolf’s Orlando. Chapter Two outlines Carl Jung’s theories, including the conscious and unconscious, archetypes, and the individuation process. Chapter Three focuses on the textual analysis of Orlando within the framework of Jung’s theories. In Chapter Four, I examine three symbols, which are the embodiments of archetypal images, in the novel. I also explore the relationship between the eponymous protagonist and these symbols. Chapter Five sums up the main points of this study and concludes that Orlando reflects Woolf’s psychic reality.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of sex-role
identity on self-esteem in samples of adolescents. The
subject population consisted of 208 white, English-speaking,
middle-class adolescents. Subjects were divided into three
age groups of 13 year olds, 15 year olds, and first year
undergraduates. Within these three groups, four variables
were investigated, namely, age, sex, sex-role identity, and
self-esteem. Self-esteem was measured by means of the
Tennessee Self Concept Scale, and sex-role identity by means
of the Bern Sex-Role Inventory. Two-way analyses of variance
were utilized to compare the mean scores obtained by each of
the four sex-role categories on self-esteem. Results were
then compared by sex. In addition, chi-square contingency
tests were utilized to test for the incidence of androgyny
in the three age groups and to compare the incidence of
androgyny in a South African sample with the incidence
reported in an American sample. Using a significance level of
.05 as the criterion for significance, significant results
were produced for most of the hypotheses. Psychological
androgyny was found to be positively associated with higher
levels of self-esteem at all three ages. The results -re
discussed in terms of gender schema theory and psychoanalytic
theory and suggestions made for clinical application.
Limitations of the present research are discussed and
suggestions made for further research.

M.A.The aim of this study was to generate hypotheses concerning personality functioning of androgynous individuals, and more specifically within the context of marital relationships. Ideally, a holistic view of a person in his/her unique life situation should be taken into account in scientific research. In order to limit this study only two personality concepts were studied, self concept and locus of control. it must be kept in mind , however that there is an ecological interaction between many more and unknown factors and granting that it is artificial to isolate only two factors from encompassing whole.

Full textAbstract:
People spend substantial parts of their life in a close dyadic relationship. The results range from the fulfillment of emotional, intellectual, social and physical needs, to physical and emotional abuse.
The study clarifies the association between sex-role identity type, with its two traits (masculinity and femininity), and relationship satisfaction, at the dyadic level. The latter implies a focus on the identical (or different) levels of presence of the two constructs among partners in couples. Extraneous factors and personal (non-dyadic) effects are covered in addition.
The two main variables are evaluated with the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) and Spanier's Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS). In each case, a second instrument was administered for validation. The survey-type study followed a correlational, cross-sectional design.
The main purposes have been to test new theoretical frameworks against empirical data, and knowledge production.
A three-pronged approach included: an extensive literature review to identify methodological and knowledge gaps; a theory-driven design and methodology to ensure a sound study; and empirical data collection to verify the theoretical position through hypothesis testing.
Likely sources of bias were countered by involving balanced numbers of male and female, and homosexual and heterosexual respondents, from non-student populations, over a wide age range, and living in close relationships spanning at least two years.
The correlational design and relatively small sub-samples dictated the application of descriptive frequencies, and chi-square, variance (ANOVA) and regression analyses, as statistical techniques.
The findings emerged as more similar than different for homosexual and heterosexual participants. This implies that homosexuals are not a deviant group, but equally able to achieve happiness. Congruent (identical) sex-role identity traits between partners were not strong(est) in predicting satisfaction. However, femininity and androgyny, as highest adaptive type, and identical sex-role identity types between partners did. As a result, the initial sex-role identity congruence theory has been modified into the adaptive femininity trait theory.
Married heterosexual women face a predicament. While for them an undifferentiated sex-role identity type correlates with their husbands' happiness, and their own unhappiness, the inverse applies to their femininity and androgyny.
The practical implications of this and other conclusions are also detailed.Psychology
