abstrakt w j. angielskim: |
Much has been said and written in the Western world about gender differences,
which involve many, if not most, everyday domains. Metaphorically, the distance
between the sexes can be measured in astronomical terms considering that women
are supposedly from Venus, while men are apparently from Mars. However,
looking at the issue in a more down-to-earth manner, perhaps in time the rift may
become smaller, particularly because women seem to have toughened up (at least
their image) and, with every passing year, more and more men lean towards
metrosexuality. However, are these changes affecting people’s mind-sets
sufficiently to cause a movement away from the well-embedded schematic views
of each other? Among the questions that the authors aim to raise in this brief study
are those concerning communication issues and emotional interaction between the
two sexes. Central to this study is what occurs when male sensitivity and courage
are put to the test by their partners in the context of relationships and commitment.
Various communication strategies men commonly apply when challenged by
situations which require empathetic responses will be considered as well as
communication blunders resulting from the metaphorical euphemisms men use in
an attempt to conceal their deficient emotional maturity. The study will draw on
such disciplines as linguistics, cognitive linguistics, media and cultural studies,
sociology and psychoanalysis to address these issues. After all, as distant planets,
men and women follow their own orbits, but occasionally they seem to be on
collision course or even collide. Often these collisions cause ruptures and
explosions of supernova proportions. |
