  • Freedom from American psychology

    Open Access•K Ratele•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 27

    In this article, I argue that although our society became free in 1994, there is a way in which many psychologists and psychology students remain unfree. The unfreedom of interest is of the epistemic kind. To move from a state of being epistemically unfree to being a free psychologist, I contend that we must jettison American-centric White epistemology, White ignorance and ways of thinking about and doing psychology towards situated epistemologie…

  • Looking backwards, looking forwards

    Open Access•N Malherbe, Shahnaaz Suffla et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 52

    To mark the 30th anniversary of the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA), 11 of PsySSA’s past presidents, along with two facilitators, gathered in early 2024 for a roundtable discussion on psychology in South Africa. This article represents an edited transcript of that conversation. The guiding motif of the discussion – looking backwards, looking forwards – led discussants through the historical temporalities, institutional, professiona…

  • We Won't be Able to Change How We Fight Without Changing How We Love

    Open Access•K Ratele•ARTICLE•Feminist Encounters A Journal of…•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 5

    This article draws from and elaborates on some ideas conveyed in my book, Why Men Hurt Women and Other Reflections on Love, Violence and Masculinity (2022), to reflect on the relationship between love and violence. It contends that as a society we will not be able to change how we fight or oppose each other, at least we will find it more difficult to reduce the magnitude of men's violence against women, without changing the dominant narrative of …

  • Intimate relationships and Suicidal Behaviour of Men in Bangladesh

    Azizur Rahman Khan, Najuwa Arendse et al.•ARTICLE•Mortality•2023

    Suicidal behaviour (e.g., suicide and suicide attempt) is a multifaceted phenomenon which often draws on several social and psychological contexts. This research examines how men’s suicides and attempted suicides are embedded in the contextual praxis of intimate relationships in Bangladesh. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were undertaken with family members, close relatives, and friends of 37 men who died by suicide or attempted suicide. T…

  • Men and climate change

    Azizur Rahman Khan, K Ratele et al.•ARTICLE•NORMA•2023•Citada por: 1•Referências: 66

    This article highlights the impacts of climate change on men from two countries from the Global South, namely Bangladesh and South Africa, as we reflect on climate change as a major consideration in work on the un/making of dominant and marginal masculinities. Climate change has a gender face, showing differential hazards for men and women linked to the structures of gender in society. A limited range of discourses about the impacts of climate ch…

  • What and for whom is a decolonising African psychology

    Open Access•N Malherbe, K Ratele•ARTICLE•Theory & Psychology•2022

    Contributing to work that locates the place of psychology in countering coloniality, we explore in this article what and for whom is a decolonising African psychology. We answer these questions not with a definitive statement, but through several moves, signals, and routes. First, we conceptualise African psychology as a kind of transdisciplinary praxis that occurs within psychology as well as outside of the received bounds of the discipline. How…

  • Fanon’s Decolonial Transcendence of Psychoanalysis

    N Maldonado-Torres, Mireille Fanon Mendès France et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Gender and Sexuality•2021

    Coloniality continues to invade the psychomaterial lives of the condemned. Invoking psychoanalysis and phenomenology to engage with modern psychopathologies and race, gender, and sexuality, Fanon developed seminal ideas on social suffering in the context of colonial violence on psychic life. In reading Fanon, we discern two challenges: the decolonial transcendence of psychoanalysis as a theoretical framework, and the decolonial transcendence of p…

  • Men and Covid-19

    Open Access•Azizur Rahman Khan, K Ratele•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Positive…•2021•Referências: 3

    There are important gender determinants to both men’s and women’s susceptibility to COVID-19. Emerging findings confirm men are dying disproportionately at a higher rate than women. Such gender differences in deaths have informed scholars to widen their analytical look through a critical masculinity lens. As the practices to respond to the context of the gendered burden of disease are still inadequate and nearly absent on men’s health, it is sugg…

  • Three Pathways for Enlarging Critical African Psychology

    Departing from the position that critical African psychology is an endeavour whose objective is to harness psychological knowledge in, by, for, and with Africa, as well as the world, but also to critically think Africa into psychology, this article considers space as a key idea to consider in the further development of African psychology, and more specifically, a critically inclined African psychology. Taking critical African psychology as one of…

  • Biko's Black Conscious Thought Is Useful for Extirpating the Fear of Whites Deposited in Black Masculinity

    K Ratele•ARTICLE•Studies in Gender and Sexuality•2021•Citada por: 1•Referências: 11

    Drawing a line from Black men dehumanized by racism to radical political love, I open up about my experience of racism-induced fear of White people. The fear of Whites is tied to having grown up in a racist society. This fear of Whites is read as a fear of Black death due to racism, a fear of bodily death as much as social nonexistence. The article is used to work out how we might extirpate the fear of White people deposited by racism inside of B…

  • Assessing the Policy Implementation of the Bangladeshi Domestic Violence Act

    Violence against women in the home is a serious global social, health and human rights problem which transcends every level of society. Many countries have enacted and implemented specific legal policy interventions, often referred to as the “Domestic Violence Act”, in order protect women from violence at home. Although the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act 2010 was an important landmark in policy-making in Bangladesh, legal recou…

    In a previous article we sought to clear up some of the conceptual confusion on African psychology whilst simultaneously engaging with what it entails to do a decolonising African psychology. We dealt with questions such as: Is African psychology identical to psychology in Africa? What is the main dispute between Africa(n)-centred psychology and Euroamerican-centric psychology in Africa? Might ‘Blackening’ psychology decolonise the discipline? An…

  • Masculinity and Suicide in Bangladesh

    Open Access•Azizur Rahman Khan, K Ratele et al.•ARTICLE•OMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying•2020

    Suicide is a serious but under-researched public health problem in Bangladesh. In light of this, we sought to explore the association between masculinities and suicide. We interviewed 20 family members/friends of men who died by suicide across 12 rural areas of the Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh. We found that male suicide was attributed to men's inability to fulfil hegemonic masculine demands such as financial provision and meeting the sexual ne…

    This is the first ever research in Bangladesh that provides understanding about men's postsuicide attempt reflections from a district called Jhenaidah which is assumed to be a high suicide-prone area in the country. Employing qualitative semistructured interviews with 17 men who have attempted suicide, aged 18 years and older, this research finds the survivors encountered several immediate reactions from others specifically targeting toward demea…

    Despite the World Health Organization's (WHO) call to adopt a national action plan on suicide, Bangladesh is yet to respond proactively to prevent this serious public health problem. The existing government and non‐government prevention interventions are very limited, segmented and almost invisible. Suicide (including attempted suicide) is currently a criminal offense under the Bangladeshi legal framework. The aim of this paper is to propose a fr…

    Open Access•Lynn Hendricks, Kramer et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2019•Citada por: 2•Referências: 4

    The use of race in research is always problematic as it is loaded with dangers and unforeseeable consequences. Where race (or ethnicity interpreted as colour-based) is used as a variable or an ‘explanation’, politically constructed racial categories are reproduced, thereby perpetuating stigma, discrimination, and racism. It was precisely this use of race that was exemplified in the recent publication, and subsequent retraction, of an article by N…

  • What is there to learn about violence and masculinity from a genderqueer man

    Open Access•Rebecca Helman, K Ratele•ARTICLE•Global Health Action•2018

    BACKGROUND: In light of the global health burden of violence, which is predominantly perpetrated by men, studies have explored the relationship between masculinities and violence. However, there is a relative lack of work focusing on non-hegemonic men and masculinities in relation to violence. Such work has the potential to advance violence prevention work. OBJECTIVE: This article aims to show the shifting relationship between constructions of vi…

    Introduction That no child is born with culture and that what culture entails is internally as well as externally contested along gender, age, rank and other lines, appear to be self-evident facts. Yet, in a world where the discourse of the 'clash of cultures', for instance, has received such favourable reception, it seems worth reiterating: cultural knowledge and affiliation are clearly significant for how people organise their lives, but cultur…

    South African research on men, boys and masculinities appears to be underachieving. The article presents a number of research-related and socio-political discursive cross-currents tied to this unconvincing performance. These are currents within and against which masculinities are produced and masculinities research conducted. They are seen as opposed to changing gender power relations and the transformation of boys, men and masculinities in post-…

    Based on two relatively well-reported cases of homophobia in Malawi and South Africa, this article aims to show some of the ways in which hegemonic African men and masculinities are unsettled by, but also find ideological use for, the existence of homosexuality and nonheteronormative sexualities. Deploying the notion of psychopolitics, the article traces the interpenetrating psychosocial and sociopolitical aspects of homophobia. The argument is t…

  • Talking South African Fathers

    Open Access•K Ratele, T Shefer et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2012•Citada por: 17•Referências: 10

    The absence of biological fathers in South Africa has been constructed as a problem for children of both sexes but more so for boy-children. Arguably the dominant discourse in this respect has demonized non-nuclear, female-headed households. Fathers are constructed as either absent or ‘bad’. Thus it has become important to explore more closely how male care-givers have been experienced by groups of men in South Africa. This article examines disco…

    Over the course of the life of the policy of apartheid, the South African State undertook an exercise of classifying the population into different racial categories. These racial classifications were accepted by most but also disputed by many individuals who appealed to be reclassified into other categories or were forcefully reclassified. Interwoven with the processes of racial classification and objections against classification were the laws a…

  • Subordinate Black South African Men without Fear

    Homicidal violence is a masculine enterprise, overwhelmingly undertaken against males by other males. Black young men are the most likely victims. Among several posited explanations for the vulnerability of members of this group to fatal is the legacy of apartheid segregation, a weak criminal-justice system and, of special interest here, hegemonic masculinity. This paper argues that while they may be perceived to subscribe to hegemonic masculinit…

    The legacy of apartheid and continued social and economic change have meant that many South African men and women have grown up in families from which biological fathers are missing.

    Recent work on African psychology (Long, 2016; Makhubela, 2016; Nwoye, 2015) has restaged, and at times perhaps worsened, the decades-old confusion about the definition, scope, impetus for, and ultimate aims of an African psychology within South Africa (SA). A clarification – and perhaps more than just a clearing up – is warranted about the stimulus, prevailing and possible meanings, end-goal, and horizons, but also how, in light of the call for …

  • Talking South African Fathers

    Open Access•K Ratele, T Shefer et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2012•Citada por: 17•Referências: 10

    The absence of biological fathers in South Africa has been constructed as a problem for children of both sexes but more so for boy-children. Arguably the dominant discourse in this respect has demonized non-nuclear, female-headed households. Fathers are constructed as either absent or ‘bad’. Thus it has become important to explore more closely how male care-givers have been experienced by groups of men in South Africa. This article examines disco…

    Open Access•K Ratele•ARTICLE•Cahiers d études africaines•2013•Citada por: 12•Referências: 37

    Homicidal violence is a masculine enterprise, overwhelmingly undertaken against males by other males. Black young men are the most likely victims. Among several posited explanations for the vulnerability of members of this group to fatal is the legacy of apartheid segregation, a weak criminal-justice system and, of special interest here, hegemonic masculinity. This paper argues that while they may be perceived to subscribe to hegemonic masculinit…

  • Who needs a father? South African men reflect on being fathered

    Lindsay Clowes, K Ratele et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Gender Studies•2013•Citada por: 10•Referências: 11

    The legacy of apartheid and continued social and economic change have meant that many South African men and women have grown up in families from which biological fathers are missing. In both popular and professional knowledge and practice this has been posed as inherently a problem particularly for boys who are assumed to lack a positive male role model. In drawing on qualitative interviews with a group of South African men in which they speak ab…

  • Currents against gender transformation of South African men

    K Ratele•ARTICLE•NORMA•2014•Citada por: 26•Referências: 23

    South African research on men, boys and masculinities appears to be underachieving. The article presents a number of research-related and socio-political discursive cross-currents tied to this unconvincing performance. These are currents within and against which masculinities are produced and masculinities research conducted. They are seen as opposed to changing gender power relations and the transformation of boys, men and masculinities in post-…
