The book "Measuring Manhood Race and the Science of Masculinity 1830-1934" by historian Joanna Diane Cohen offers a comprehensive analysis of how the concept of masculinity was measured and understood during this time period. The book delves into the historical context of the development of scientific theories and their impact on society, highlighting the ways in which these ideas have shaped our understanding of gender roles and expectations. The plot revolves around the idea that the measurement of manhood has been a central concern throughout history, with various methods employed to determine what constitutes a 'real man'. These measurements have evolved over time, from physical characteristics such as height and weight to more subjective qualities like strength and courage. The book explores how these definitions have been influenced by societal norms and cultural values, and how they have changed over the centuries. One of the key themes of the book is the role of science in shaping our understanding of masculinity. Cohen examines how scientists and medical professionals have contributed to the development of these measurements, often using flawed or biased research methods to support their claims. She argues that these flawed assumptions have had far-reaching consequences, influencing everything from education to employment opportunities for men and women alike.
Книга «Measuring Manhood Race and the Science of Masculinity 1830-1934» историка Джоанны Дайан Коэн предлагает всесторонний анализ того, как концепция мужественности была измерена и понята в этот период времени. Книга углубляется в исторический контекст развития научных теорий и их влияния на общество, подчеркивая пути, которыми эти идеи сформировали наше понимание гендерных ролей и ожиданий. Сюжет вращается вокруг идеи, что измерение мужественности было центральной проблемой на протяжении всей истории, с различными методами, используемыми для определения того, что представляет собой «настоящий мужчина». Эти измерения развивались с течением времени, от физических характеристик, таких как рост и вес, до более субъективных качеств, таких как сила и мужество. Книга исследует, как на эти определения повлияли социальные нормы и культурные ценности, и как они менялись на протяжении веков. Одна из ключевых тем книги - роль науки в формировании нашего понимания мужественности. Коэн исследует, как ученые и медицинские работники внесли свой вклад в разработку этих измерений, часто используя ошибочные или предвзятые методы исследований в поддержку своих утверждений. Она утверждает, что эти ошибочные предположения имели далеко идущие последствия, влияя на все, от образования до возможностей трудоустройства как для мужчин, так и для женщин.
Il libro «Measuring Mannood Race and the Science of Mastulinity 1830-1934» di Joanna Diane Cohen offre un'analisi completa di come il concetto di virilità è stato misurato e compreso in questo periodo di tempo. Il libro si approfondisce nel contesto storico dello sviluppo delle teorie scientifiche e del loro impatto sulla società, sottolineando i modi in cui queste idee hanno creato la nostra comprensione dei ruoli e delle aspettative di genere. La trama ruota intorno all'idea che la dimensione della virilità è stato un problema centrale nel corso della storia, con vari metodi utilizzati per definire ciò che è il «vero uomo». Queste dimensioni si sono evolute nel corso del tempo, dalle caratteristiche fisiche, come la crescita e il peso, alle qualità più soggettive, come la forza e il coraggio. Il libro indaga come queste definizioni siano state influenzate dalle norme sociali e dai beni culturali, e come sono cambiate nel corso dei secoli. Uno dei temi chiave del libro è il ruolo della scienza nella formazione della nostra comprensione della virilità. Cohen sta esplorando il modo in cui scienziati e operatori sanitari hanno contribuito allo sviluppo di queste dimensioni, spesso utilizzando metodi di ricerca sbagliati o pregiudizievoli per sostenere le loro affermazioni. Sostiene che queste ipotesi sbagliate hanno avuto effetti di grande portata, influenzando tutto, dall'istruzione alle opportunità di lavoro sia per gli uomini che per le donne.
