  • Intersectional Masculinities and Gendered Political Consciousness: How Do Race, Ethnicity and Sexuality Shape Men’s Awareness of Gender Inequality and Support for Gender Activism?
    Sex Roles, 2017
    Co-Authors: Catherine E. Harnois
    Abstract:

    Gendered Political Consciousness refers to having an awareness of gender inequality, viewing this inequality as illegitimate, and supporting collective efforts to bring about greater gender equality. The present study draws from social psychology, theories of masculinities, and intersectionality to assess the factors associated with men’s Political Consciousness of gender. Multivariate regression analyses of data from the U.S.-based 2012 Evaluations of Government and Society Study ( N  = 598) (American National Election American National Election Study 2012 ) highlights how social statuses of race/ethnicity and sexuality—along with beliefs about racial/ethnic and sexuality-based inequalities—correlate with men’s awareness of gender inequality and support for women fighting for greater gender equality. Results show that Non-Hispanic Black men and married men are significantly more likely than are non-Hispanic White men and unmarried men to see high levels of gender inequality. Men who see high levels of racial/ethnic and sexuality-based inequalities are also significantly more likely to perceive high levels of gender inequality. Bivariate analyses show that Non-Hispanic Black men, as well as men who see high levels of other inequalities, are also more likely than are other men to support women fighting for greater gender equality, but in multivariate regression models these effects are eclipsed by Political ideology—the single best predictor of men’s support for women fighting for gender equality. Results underscore the need to differentiate awareness of gender inequality and support for efforts to challenge gender inequality, and they highlight the potential of intersectionality for conceptualizing men’s gendered Political Consciousness.

  • Race, Ethnicity, Sexuality, and Women’s Political Consciousness of Gender
    Social Psychology Quarterly, 2015
    Co-Authors: Catherine E. Harnois
    Abstract:

    Existing research emphasizes the importance of group identification and perceived similarity in the development of group Consciousness. Intersectionality suggests that for many women, a Political Consciousness of gender may also stem from experiences with race, ethnicity, and sexuality and may be interconnected with a Consciousness of other forms of inequality. This study analyzes data from a recent national survey to investigate how race, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect with women’s gendered Political Consciousness. Analyses reveal no support for the proposition that membership in racial, sexual, and ethnic minority groups significantly reduces women’s gendered Political Consciousness. In addition, women who perceive high levels of racial, ethnic, or sexuality-based discrimination are more likely than other women to hold a strong Political Consciousness of gender. Results challenge the idea that gendered Political Consciousness emerges primarily from perceived similarity and highlight the need to conc...

  • Soldiers and politics : a study of the Political Consciousness of black South African soldiers during and after the Second World War
    Historia, 1991
    Co-Authors: Louis Grundlingh
    Abstract:

    This article questions whether the common notion that the Second World War was a catalyst for the development of Political Consciousness amongst African soldiers who had participated in the war is also applicable to the 76 000 black South African soldiers. Changes in soldiers' attitude as well as in that of the government of General J.C. Smuts are investigated, and the nature and duration of these changes are emphasised. Specific reference is made to racial attitudes. Furthermore, the factors inhibiting change are highlighted. Ironically, it seems that both aspects -changes in attitudes as well as a lack thereof -might have given rise to the development of a Political Consciousness. However, to render any form of Political Consciousness effective solidarity amongst the participants was imperative. The question is whether any form of solidarity developed amongst these soldiers and, if so, at what level. Finally, an evaluation is made of the above-mentioned factors against the background of changes in the social and economic structures of South Africa -mostly induced by the War -in order to ascertain whether the war experience was indeed a catalyst for the development of Political Consciousness amongst the black South African soldiers.

  • American dreams and Brazilian racial democracy: The making of race and class in Brazil and the United States
    Focaal, 2015
    Co-Authors: Sean T. Mitchell
    Abstract:

    The extensive literature critiquing the weakness of cross-class Afro-Brazilian solidarity is perhaps equaled in size by the structurally similar literature on the weakness of cross-race working-class solidarity in the United States. For many critics, marginalized or exploited people in Brazil and the United States do not have the Political Consciousness they ought to have, given apparently objective conditions. What if we started, instead, from E. P. Thompson’s insight that class is a “cultural as much as an economic formation,” that it is “a relationship and not a thing,” acknowledging that Political Consciousness is the partially contingent result of culturally specific struggles and utopias, as much as of determinate historical conditions? Drawing on ethnographic research on conflicts between AfroBrazilian villagers and Brazil’s spaceport, supplemented by comparative data on the mobilization around inequalities in Brazil and in the United States, this article sketches a comparative anthropology of Political Consciousness that attempts to avoid the objectivizing pitfalls of the genre.

According to this article Russian scientists actively consider the problems that are connected to social media. There is a number of works where authors consider terminological aspects of modern social media. There are also many investigations that are devoted to the problem of Political Consciousness. Russian scientists draw attention to modern social networks support platforms as tools of socialization and emphasize the need for the system-based theoretical and applied researches of Political and social phenomenon of modern social networks support systems in Russia.
