- W1520240611 abstract "This thesis is a critico-historical investigation of domination, gender and social justice. Its point of departure is to challenge the axiom in the literature on men and masculinity that hegemonic masculinity is a dominative socio-cultural phenomenon. Further, that as a consequence its relationship with social justice in gender is one of mutual exclusivity. As part of this critico-historical challenge to hegemonic masculinity, the analytic trajectory this thesis takes begins with the work of Antonio Gramsci and specifically, his theory of hegemony where particular focus is given to explicating the full complexity of that theory. Within and through this complexity, the interpretation of hegemony offered in R. W. Connell's theory of practice is examined to reveal a particular dominative form of hegemony that underpins the conceptualisation of hegemonic masculinity offered in his later masculinities theory. However, this thesis shows through an elaboration of Connell's 'masculinities theory' and its extension into a study of the operationality of hegemonic masculinity in the key gender regime of family law, that the alliance politics and de-gendering strategy envisaged by Connell as a replacement for hegemony is a flawed strategy. Further, it will be argued that to offer 'new' strategic possibilities for social justice in gender requires not the negation of hegemony but its re-instatement into the of gender. In this context, the radical plural democracy that emerges from the post-Marxism of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe represents a 'new' strategic project, which emerges from the Gramscian theory of hegemony but leads to a paradigmatic shift in the conceptualisation of protest and the aspiration for change. The theorists studied in the thesis all ground their work in the concept of hegemony even though, its interpretation and application differ, often significantly. Nevertheless, by applying a critico-historical perspective it is possible to show the central thematic that links each theoretical paradigm in a way that offers future research a set of radical ideas that enable the opening up of possibilities for progression to social justice in gender. Acknowledgments I heartily thank my supervisors, Andrew Wells and Fiona Borthwick, with whom the journey along the arduous road to completion of a PhD thesis was made a more enjoyable one. Both took over supervision of a difficult theoretical project late in the first year of my candidature and immediately worked as a team to help give it the sense of direction it required. Even though this new direction would require a significant change in plans, it was one astutely perceived and ultimately, one that would have an important influence on the work as a whole. Most importantly, their involvement gave me a sense of assurance and confidence in my work through their ever-present encouragement that would remain with me throughout and ensure the completion of this project. To Robyn and Sara go my deepest thanks. They have been the ground upon which I was able to construct this thesis. Without their love and support this project would not have been completed." @default.
