Wir sind zurück! & Die Kulturgeschichte der Wälder Ja, wer hätte es gedacht: Wir sind zurück. Aber so richtig, nicht so unverbindlich, wo wir alle paar Monate mal aus der Versenkung aufgetaucht sind. Wir hatten schon überlegt, den Podcast sein zu lass...

Großes Lob an @schreibersnaturarium.de.

Ich habe (und sagt es bitte nicht der Mainzer Polizeiinspektion) womöglich beim Berufsradpendeln den neuen Bugtales-Podcast www.bugtales.fm/95-kulturges... gehört.

Soziologe warnt: Wegen der Klimakrise droht der gesellschaftliche Zusammenbruch Ökologische Krisen erschüttern die Grundlagen unseres Zusammenlebens, sagt der Soziologe Frank Adloff. Notwendig sei daher ein radikaler Systemwandel.

Ich empfehle sehr dieses Gespräch mit dem Soziologen Frank Adloff. Selten wurde so sachlich-nüchtern Klartext zum Klimakollaps gesprochen. Was würde ich dafür geben, wenn die gesamte Debatte sich so in Breite ausgestalten würde. Man wäre so viel weiter.

‘Zurawski v. Texas’ is more than a film—it’s a powerful window into the real-life consequences of abortion bans and what happens when politicians force their way into the most personal moments of people’s lives.

Wie viel Einfluss aus dem Netzwerk fundamentalistischer Abtreibungsgegner entstehen kann, sieht man gut, wenn man die Aufruhr und Menge der Berichterstattung jetzt vergleicht mit April 2024, als der Bericht der Kommission zu §218 StBG erschien – und danach die Ampel monatelang nichts tat.

Background to the call
It is a prescient irony, given the stubborn conception that men ‘don’t express feelings’, that the contemporary bonds, behaviours and excesses of masculinity are so deeply immersed in emotion. It has long been recognised that that men’s conflicts are steeped in emotional experiences and dynamics of shame, irritability and anger (Men’s Project and Flood 2024). Similarly, hegemonic and toxic acts often stem from emotions such as pride and fear (Connell and Messerschmidt 2005). Traditional masculinities have also been implicated in men’s desires and struggles to master their own and other’s emotions, whether this be in the context of emotional control (Barrett & Bliss-Moreau, 2009), couple relationships (McQueen, 2017) or emotional flooding (Malik et al 2020). Other works have advanced the study of masculine emotion beyond these dynamics. Some have pointed out that emotional suppression leaves a stark legacy for many men, making them more susceptible to distress and suicide (River and Flood 2021).
More recent studies have focussed on the presence and role of more positive emotions in men’s lives. ‘Inclusive’ masculine acts are often steeped in care, respect and love (Anderson 2018, Elliott 2019). National surveys reveal that while men’s ‘primary’ (surface) emotions confirm to hegemonic stereotypes of male emotion (e.g. confidence), their ‘secondary’ emotions are commonly care based and oriented towards families (Patulny et al 2017). Other studies point to the important role of emotions such as pride, fun and confidence in the formation of homosocial bonds (Messner 2013) and focus on men’s capacity to consider emotional reflexively, rather than reject it in favour of ‘rationality’ (Holmes 2015). 
Yet these studies touch on only a handful of the many issues now surfacing around men, masculinities and emotions. Thoughtful consideration of the many ways in which masculinities and emotions are interlinked and reinforce each other is missing in many co…
