Connell adapted Gramsci’s hegemony to gender: hegemonic masculinity is the culturally exalted form that legitimates men’s dominance over women and subordinates other masculinities (Gender and Power, 1987).

Connell rejected the sex-role theory Parsons built on instrumental and expressive family roles, arguing that it naturalises gender and leaves power and change unexplained (Gender and Power, 1987). R.

Connell argued that Bourdieu’s reproduction theory explains stability through a ‘black box of habit’, leaving social change and struggle unexplained (Which Way Is Up?, 1983). R. W. Connell, “The Black Box of Habit on the Wings of History”, in Which Way Is Up? (1983); Southern Theory (2007), ch. 2

2007南方理论
社会理论主张具有普遍有效性，却是从大都会的立场写成的；康奈尔把来自非洲、伊朗、印度和拉丁美洲的思想家当作自成一格的理论家来阅读。

立场

Connell’s work spans class, education, gender and the global politics of knowledge. In studies of Australian schools in the early 1980s she and her colleagues found that boys and girls do not simply learn fixed “sex roles”, as functionalist theory had assumed, but negotiate a gender order structured by power. From this came the concept of hegemonic masculinity, developed in Gender and Power (1987) and Masculinities (1995): in any society one form of masculinity is culturally exalted and legitimates men’s dominance over women, while other masculinities – gay, working-class, colonised – are subordinated or marginalised. Most men do not embody the hegemonic ideal, but they benefit from it through a “patriarchal dividend”. The concept became a foundation of masculinity studies worldwide. In Southern Theory (2007) Connell turned to the geography of knowledge itself. Classical and contemporary “general” theory, from the founders of sociology to James Coleman, Anthony Giddens and Pierre Bourdieu, claims universality while being produced in the metropole and largely silent about colonialism. She set beside it thinkers from Africa, Iran, India and Latin America – among them Paulin Hountondji, Ali Shariati, Veena Das and Raúl Prebisch – as resources for a genuinely global social science.

生平与背景

Raewyn Connell was born in Sydney in 1944. She studied at the Universities of Melbourne and Sydney, taking her doctorate at Sydney, and was active in the student and New Left movements of the 1960s. In 1976 she became the founding professor of sociology at Macquarie University in Sydney, a post she held until 1991. After several years in the United States, including a professorship at the University of California, Santa Cruz, she returned to the University of Sydney, where she was University Professor from 2004 until her retirement in 2014 and is now professor emerita. Connell is a trans woman who transitioned later in life; her earlier books appeared under the name R. W. Connell, and she has published as Raewyn Connell since 2006. She remains active as a researcher and writer, not least on the politics of universities.
