From: hopkinso-AT-psychology.newcastle.edu.au Date: Tue, 5 Nov 1996 14:37:35 +1100 (EST) Subject: Re: M-PSY: new to list Hello All Well I finally got around to making a post. I am a Phd student in sociology at Newcastle Uni in Australia. I am also an activist with the Democratic Socialist Party with a strong commitment to marxist activism which is mainly producing an alternative newspaper "Green Left Weekly" (check us out at http://www.peg.apc.org/~greenleft/. I am interested in men (masculinity?) in heterosexual relationships and how they "negotiate" their positions of power but I want it to be consistant with a Marxist framework. Of course this had been tried but not very convincingly, though I have just got a couple of Wolfensteins books. I hope that this Phd will help me to understand the gender dynamics of relationships (and myself) better. I have read some Freud but I remain suspicious, though I hope someone out there might convince me. I will save my thoughts on other topics, I just wanted to say "HI" and how much I enjoy this group though the initial posts were a bit over my head. There is not (m)any people in my dept who are terribly interested in this sort of stuff. Comradely Shane > --- from list marxism-psych-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
