Passionate Men, Emotional Women Psychology Constructs...

Introduction Framework: In her text Passionate Men, Emotional Women: Psychology Constructs Gender Difference in the 19th Century, historian Stephanie A. Shields delineates the ways in which the Western modern project required in its logic of construction a need to create and reproduce an epistemological, discursive, and pseudo-scientific dichotomous relationship between the genders. Specifically, Shields emphasizes the ways in which a certain dogmatic praxis of evolutionary theory, in juxtaposition with social science, worked to produces a science of psychology that in turn generated a hierarchical understanding of gender relations, premised on the politics of emotions and the mind/body divide. This paper will explore the theoretical and political consequences of the tactful discursive construction of gender relations, as explored by Shields. Thus, this paper will not merely provide an exploration of that binary, and the ways in which it was necessarily conducive of the production of unequal social and economic relations. Rather, this paper will use specific tenants within Shields’ argument to reveal how the discursive methodology via which that gendered binary was produced was as necessarily conducive to the production of inequality, as that gendered binary itself.

Lawrence: Pilgrim of the Apocalypse (1933) explains how Lawrence’s two essays on psychoanalysis were motivated by his desire to understand. What he needed to understand was why he was as he was; how the development of masculinity and gender identity were influenced and how obstacles such as an over-possessive mother might impair these developments. Hence, his works on psychoanalysis were not written to be an acceptance of Freud’s doctrines but rather a critical approach to them.

In fact, Smith found that 10 workers specializing in a particular task could make 48,000 pins a day, whereas those workers who performed all the tasks could make only a few thousand at mos t.4 Smith reasoned that this difference in performance was due to the fact that the workers who specialized became much more skilled at their speciï ¬ c tasks and as a group were thus able to produce a product faster than the group of workers who each performed many tasks.
