DD307 - Block 1 Introduction. Video Clips - interrogative themes

Situated knowledges

no context free knowledge
knowledge is situated in time and place
knowledge changes with social change
values, beliefs, cultural differences

Power relations

apparent within all interactions
ongoing processes that can have positive or negative effects
people can have power in different contexts - e.g. children take power in public when knowing parents cannot retaliate

Individual-society dualism

individual actions vs. social influences
dichotomy - cannot focus on one without the other

Agency-structure dualism

people either determine own life course or by social structures
cannot polarise them, both important within social psychology

EXAMPLE - boys don't cry

individual-society dualism.

biological - males cry less?
social - learn not to cry because of consequences, eg bullying

agency-structure dualism - can they choose to cry or not to cry? part of masculinity to not cry, how do they control crying?
situated knowledge - not a claim within every society and time
power relations - boys not crying, power over girls that do cry. criticised for not showing emotions and can reduce power.
