Introduction(S) To Men In Feminism, Kristin G. Congdon, Doug Blandy
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In the Spring of 1988 I received a note from Doug Blandy asking if I wanted to co-ordinate a panel on "Men in Feminism" with him. The idea of men working with feminist ideas was not new to our discussions. When we worked together at Bowling Green State University, we often wondered (and indeed frequently laughed) at how gender related the reactions of our faculty and students probably were to our successes and failures. Shortly after I agreed to coordinate this panel with Doug, I attended a conference in the Pennsylvanian mountains in "Women, Art and Society." This was my …

A Modernity-Postmodernity Dialectic On Men In Feminism, Karen A. Hamblen
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
In my discussion of men in feminism, I will focus on this topic in terms of art educators employed in higher education. My comments are based on the assumption that feminism and its attendant values, attitudes, and behaviors are seen as something that men, in some way, react to, adjust to, or, just plainly, take into consideration at this time in history. An ostensibly neutral stance is not possible - ignoring feminism is itself charged with value judgments. Questions, however, arise as to how an optimum state of sex equity and gender consciousness might occur and what relationships men would …

Feminism As Metaphor, Amy Brook Snider
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
When I was first invited to be on a panel discussing “Men in Feminism," my only thoughts on the topic were, "Sure, we need men in feminism. Feminism is a way of looking at the world, so why not!" But then I continued to myself how could I be a spokeswoman for men? Maybe only men are in a position to talk about the subject, Perhaps if I read the book. Men in Feminism, the selection of presentations from two sessions of an MLA Conference in 1984 which inspired this panel, I'd have more to say about the topic ... …

Queen-Of-The-Mountain: A Game I Can Play, Ken Marantz
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
From the top, let it be known that I was dragged into this arena, persuaded to participate only out of friendship for the organizers. My avowed reluctance was a function of genuine puzzlement about my ability to add any notions of substance to an already overloaded panel (I objected to the number of panelists, concerned about front-end overload) and to concerns which to these simple-minded ears are far too academic for me to understand.
The Not So Mysterious Ways Of Mystification, Georgia Collins
The Not So Mysterious Ways Of Mystification, Georgia Collins
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
According to my reading of Men in Feminism, in the Modern Language Association, male interest in feminist issues is already considerable: MLA men lecture and write in the feminist mode; want to be acknowledged for doing so; and ask that discussions of male responsibilities and roles be placed on the feminist agendas. The task of defining roles for sympathetic males in what is otherwise understood to be a woman's “do-it-yourself" movement may be a real problem for our MLA sisters. But back in the NAEA, we have a different set of problems and, I would submit, a unique opportunity for …
On The Impossibility Of Men In Feminism: Taking A Hesitant Step Through The Minefield Of Pheminism In Art And Education, Jan Jagodzinski
On The Impossibility Of Men In Feminism: Taking A Hesitant Step Through The Minefield Of Pheminism In Art And Education, Jan Jagodzinski
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
The relationship of men in pheminism is an impossible one. On the one hand, the "proposition" of the preposition is intrusive; it signifies break and enter with all the multiple meanings that this entails, from virginal to criminal reprochment. On the other hand, the “preposition" of the proposition is an illusionary one, both in its flirtatious invitation to men and in its very non-existence of being, for there is no inside nor outside. Men are "implicated” in this relationship by virtue of both their difference and indifference which lie on either side of the "membrane" that separates the sexes. In …

Acting Out Caring: An Andogynous Trait, Clayton Funk
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
A problem in gender studies concerns frequent critique of sex-role stereotypes. But how often do we analyze characteristics that men and women have in common? The notion is doubtful that women must be essentially nurturant and empathic, and that men must be analytical and assertive. The strongest educators possess the best of both, no matter the gender, and are usually capable of modeling a sensibility of caring about learning.
