Masculinidad y privilegios: el reconocimiento como potencial articulador del cambio.

Abstract

The article that is presented next analyse discursively the perception that men have about their advantage situation or privilege (the patriarchal dividends in words of Raewyn Connell, 1995) as a man and in a domination system such as patriarchy (in its current times).

In other words, how we can tackle the complexity of this object from a technic-methodologic point of view and what kind of tools is offering us socio-anthropology, such as the biographic interviews for instance, as this technique facilitate the generation of a communicative situation where particular implicit forms of privilege recognition could appear discursively. The analysis also focuses in how it could facilitate a breaking principle with the traditional model of masculinity characteristic of hegemonic ideological representations of gender, facilitating in this way the construction of alternative masculinities more equalitarian

Masculine standards are culturally specific, but usually they are aligned with the traditional models of masculinity [17,18]. These are models that are important to overcome by generating other models, currently conceptualized in the scientific literature as New Alternative Masculinities (NAM) [19,20].…”
