Von Buben und Damen. Anmerkungen zur „Männerforschung“

The author describes and evaluates actual streamings of men’s studies at the background – and as a result – of the history and development of women’s studies. Ursula Müller’s main questions are: How is gender construction defined by men’s studies? Is it critical research in the sense of social criticism and self reflection? Her answer: It depends on the author. The position of Ursula Müller is grounding on the concept of Robert W. Connell’s plaedoyer for taking serious men as a specific social group as well as research issue without loosing the focus to women, women’s movement and women’s studies. The future belongs to gender-cooperative research.
