Bibliographic Details Publisher: Thomson Learning Published date: 1990 Size: 6.75 x 8.75 inches Weight: 0.7 pounds Similar books Gender Ideology and Psychological Reality by Melford E. Spiro Why do members of a society espouse culturally constituted beliefs that are at odds with their personal interests and experiences? In this book Melford Spiro, a psychological anthropologist, answers this question by investigating ideologies of gender and sex relations in Burma, according to which men are superior and women are morally and sexually dangerous--despite the reality that women actually enjoy high economic, legal, and social status. Spiro argues that these sexist ideologies--prevalent in most of the human world--are an expression of male anxieties and insecurities. Spiro proposes a theory of cultural reproduction that is an alternative to the enculturation model of radical cultural determinism. He postulates that cultural systems are reproduced only insofar as they are internalized by members of society and that this occurs if these systems resonate with members' conscious and unconscious beliefs and desires or are employed by them as a resource for the construction of defense mechanisms. He compares his firsthand observations of a Burmese village to extensive data from a wide array of other societies (including our own) and argues that this explanation applies to all societies. In the Realm of the Diamond Queen by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing Orlando by Virginia Woolf Orlando doubles as first an Elizabethan nobleman and then as a Victorian heroine who undergoes all the transitions of history in this novel that examines sex roles and social mores.
