My Reflections on Connell
No full text\ua9 The Author(s).I have carried Connell\u27s work with me as I have embarked on a career within human geography with specialist interest in gender and generation. Although my empirical lens has shifted and expanded in different ways and at different times, those same theoretical underpinnings have remained in place. I found myself returning to Connell\u27s work on The Men and The Boys in my most recent academic work, namely through a "young dads and lads"project. Particularly noteworthy are the ways in which these young men move (and are moved by others) in between "boyhood, ""manhood, "and back again. Connell\u27s work helps me understand how processes of childhood socialization gendered these boys, and how as young men they are gendered still through processes of fatherhood. Iam left questioning what is left behind when boys become men. I also am left needing to thank Raewyn for my lectureship - perhaps these reflections will go some way toward doing so
The Politics and Polemics of Culture in Ireland, 1800–2010 by Pat Cooke (2022), Routledge
No full textCooke’s book surveys the history of cultural policy and discourse from the Act of Union to the Financial Crash of 2008. It demonstrates the different ways the role of culture has been conceived by the state with an eye for the ideological ironies when theory is put into practice. Particular focus is devoted to the postcolonial nature of these ironies. The author does not find cultural policy to be a result of deliberative and democratic processes. Rather it is largely ad-hoc, idiosyncratic, and personality-driven

Beyond Internalism / Externalism Dispute on Aesthetic Experience: A Return to Kant
No full textThis paper consists of four parts. In the first part, I mention different ways in which one can view our aesthetic experience, and I elaborate upon a distinction that seems to be the most fruitful one, namely Shelley’s classification of the main views as internalist and externalist.41 In the past few decades, the externalist view has seemingly prevailed, and this was brought upon in part by Dickie’s criticism of Beardsley’s internalist position. However, one cannot fully grasp the argumentative significance and potential of aesthetic experience without including both elements.
In the rest of the paper, I aim to show how, starting from Kant, we can go beyond the dispute between internalists and externalists. In the second part of the paper, I discuss internal elements of Kant’s conception of aesthetic experience and, at the same time, his argument for the universal validity of judgments of taste. In the third part, I put an emphasis on the key external component of his views – namely, the notion of the formal purposiveness, which pertains to the object we judge to be beautiful. In the fourth part of the paper, I discuss two main interpretations of Kant’s argument and his conception of aesthetic experience – Paul Guyer’s and Hannah Ginsborg’s. Neither interpretation takes into account the external aspects of aesthetic experience. This, as I claim, makes such conceptions vulnerable to the ‘everything is beautiful’ objection

Rereading gender in Sally Rooney’s novel normal people: an analysis of connell waldron as a 21st century redefinition of masculinity
No full text[eng] The best-selling novel Normal People (2018), written by the Irish author Sally Rooney, has
engaged readers through its intricate portrayal of youngsters in Ireland and the dynamics of
coming-of-age relationships. This literary work follows the lives of Marianne Sheridan and
Connell Waldron from their small town of Carricklea to their entrance into adulthood in urban
Dublin. Through a close reading of the text, this thesis delves into Rooney’s portrayal of
Connell’s masculinity and the different stages he goes through in his life: from a young boy
who perpetuates traditional masculine traits to a young adult who is characterised by his
empathy and vulnerability. This analysis will be carried out through the lens of “gender
performativity”, discussed by Judith Butler, “hegemonic masculinity” as theorised by Raewyn
Connell, and what Michael Foucault perceives as “power discourses”. This dissertation will
explore the impact of personal relationships along with societal pressures in shaping Connell
Waldron’s identity. By its redefinition of masculinity, Normal People contributes to broader
conversations about complex identities, challenging traditional gender roles and offering a
critique of twenty-first-century societal expectations
