Abstract:

This thesis examines the significance of the category of the masculine in fiction produced in two decades after the Second World War. It argues that masculinity has an influence not just within the delineation of gender roles, but also upon literary narrative, style and definitions of selfhood. It takes as its focus the work of the white, middle-class, English, fiction-making majority, or rather, a group of male writers who strove to interpellate both themselves and their peers as such. Selected novels by authors such as Kingsley Amis, William Cooper, John Fowles, Andrew Sinclair and Colin Wil

Abstract:

The demise of apartheid has accelerated the emergence of the African middle class. This group's expenditure pattern has recently received public scrutiny, leading to empirical research on their consumption patterns leaning on the theory of conspicuous consumption. It has also been reported that African middle-class households are becoming more reliant on the use of credit and are becoming overindebted. This study explores the composition of the middle class and the factors that lead African middle-class households to becoming over indebted. The methodology is both quantitative and qualitative.

I argue that the current trend in U.S. studies to move beyond the public-private dichotomy is based on a reductive understanding of that binary as primarily a manifestation of separate spheres ideology.

However, there is a tendency in this criticism to ignore the work of feminist political theorists who argue that a range of ideologies of public and private consistently work to mask the gendered inequalities of public policy.
