Helt konkret er formålsbeskrivelsen fra projektansøgningen trefoldigt formuleret: 1) At udvide rammerne for mænds kønsroller - og dermed deres handlemuligheder. 2) At nedbryde nogle af de mest markante stereotype opfattelser af mænd. 3) At redefinere kønsmærker, der associeres med udvalgte erhverv. 2005-06-01T00:00:00Z http://rudar.ruc.dk/handle/1800/1506 Title: Men Working in Women’s Professions – a sociological interview study focusing on redefinitions of work functions and masculinisation strategies in four gender labelled professions in Denmark Authors: Warming, Kenn Abstract: The objective of the study is to focus on men employed within areas that are culturally, traditionally and/or statistically regarded as feminine. Quite concretely, the objective description from the project application is a three-point formulation: 1) To broaden the scope of the gender roles of men – and thereby their op-tions for action. 2) To break down some of the most widespread stereotype perceptions of men. 3) To redefine the gender-marks at-tached to certain professions. 2005-06-01T00:00:00Z http://rudar.ruc.dk/handle/1800/1504 Title: Men in Feminised Workplaces Authors: Warming, Kenn Abstract: »Male nurses – Is that really what It’s called?« »Aren’t all male hairdressers gay?« »All preschool educators do is to wipe children’s bums, isn’t it?« »Cleaning is a job for women, not for men.« Men working in women’s professions often give rise to a lot of prejudices. But why? Are these men less masculine than other men? Or do they rather represent a new, more tolerant and less stereotypical male gender role? If less restricted by stereotypes, are men then eager to challenge traditional dichotomised perceptions of man/masculinity and woman/femininity? By means of analyses of interviews with more than 160 Bulgarian, Danish, Italian and Polish men working in traditional women’s occupations, this publication tries to answer some of these questions. Workshops were also held in each partner country. The overall intention is to contribute to the debate about men and masculinity by arguing for the male gender role as neither fixed nor unchangeable. And that in complex societies, such as in Europe, there is room for the existence of multiple masculinities. Hopefully men (and women) will acknowledge that men have meaningful roles to play in feminised occupations – just like the last three decades have shown in the case of women in traditional male occupations. 2006-01-06T12:48:56Z
