Könet som en omöjlighet: en studie av etiska kvaliteter i feministiska mäns berättande

Sammanfattning: How do men who define themselves as feminists create and maintain an identity as men? In this qualitative study four men involved in feminist organizations were interviewed about their views on women, men, sex and feminism. Theories of language, psychoanalysis and ethics were utilized to further our understanding of the material these men produce in their effort to define themselves. Our object of study is the text, which we believe holds the key to understanding how an individual shapes his world and himself. The result is our interpretation of the text and its underlying mechanics. By raising the question of the singular superiority of male-hood, the men in this text become able to express their subjectivity and gain recognition as males.
