Feeling Gender

A Generational and Psychosocial Approach

About this book

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.

This book explores how feelings about gender have changed over three interrelated generations of women and men of different social classes during the twentieth century. The author explores the ways in which generational experiencesare connected, what is continued, what triggers gradual or abrupt changes between generations - and between women and men within these generations. The book explores hownew feelings of gender gradually change gender norms from within, and howthey contribute to the incrementalcreation of new social practices.???

Nielsen suggests a new way of conducting psychosocial research that focuses on generational psychological patterns of gender identities and gendered subjectivities in times of changefroma psychoanalytic perspective. Combining generational and longitudinal research, the book works with temporality as a theoretical as well as a methodological dimension. Theoretically it combines Raymond Williams' idea of "a structure of feeling" with the work of Eric Fromm, Hans Loewald, Nancy Chodorow and Jessica Benjamin.
