Disidencias En La Figuración De La Guerra: Entrevista a Matthew Gutmann (Dissent in the Imagination of War: An Interview with Matthew Gutmann)

Kinship, Love, and Life Cycle in Contemporary Havana, Cuba

“…Performing female practices such as doing housework, childcare, or paying too much attention to his looks may endanger a man's gender and sexuality (cf. Gutmann 2007Gutmann [1996. I never heard anyone express similar fears for girl children, which reflects the social invisibility of female same-sex sexuality (Lumsden 1996: 84, 186;Allen 2011: 11;Hamilton 2012: 172-190) as well as a considerable cultural focus on male sexuality (in the sense that male sexuality is somehow more under scrutiny than female sexuality).…”

Indigenous Masculinities and the "Refined Politics" of Alcohol and Racialization in West Papua

“…As a molecule, alcohol is like water, presumably neutral until culture is involved (Sahlins 1999). Yet anthropologists have drawn attention to the ongoing ways that researchers, policymakers, and the public may continue to assume that biological and cultural influences shape or even determine alcohol-related behavior (Gutmann 1999). Matthew Gutmann, writing about Latino immigrants in the United States, argued that "the etiology of alcohol abuse and alcoholism is often erroneously traced to the 'ethnic origins' of these men and women" (1999,173).…”
