Avons-nous conscience de tout de ce que nous permet la parole ? Utilisons-nous toutes les ressources de cette capacité extraordinairement et spécifiquement humaine ? C'est à la réponse à ces questions, moins triviales qu'il n'y paraît, que s'attache Philippe Breton dans ce livre, où il explore les immenses possibilités de la parole, à la fois sur le plan personnel et sur le plan social. Il montre comment, historiquement, la parole a progressivement constitué un espace de substitution à la violence, à l'exercice sans frein du pouvoir. Et comment les ressources de l'argumentation, mais aussi celles de l'objectivation des passions, ont permis de faire reculer, toujours plus, cette violence. Surtout, et c'est le principal objet de ce livre, il explique comment surmonter les obstacles qui s'opposent aujourd'hui au plein déploiement du pouvoir de la parole. Ce livre démontre comment chacun, sur le plan personnel, peut se réapproprier sa propre parole et comment le pouvoir partagé de la parole peut mettre un frein à la toute-puissance du pouvoir et à sa violence.

"Building a Better Man presents a theory and science based discussion of masculinity in modern America, but it also does much more than that--it interweaves a diverse group of compelling personal stories with an exploration of aggression and masculinity in the socialization of boys and men. Where other programs tend to subtly denigrate men as perpetrators and focus on stopping the problematic behavior, Building a Better Man tries to understand the external forces that impinge on the developmental experiences of boys/men and broadens the scope of inquiry into their behavior by reviewing a range of external societal forces that contribute to the problems. Clinicians and group leaders will find that the approach laid out in Building a Better Man leaves clients feeling understood more than judged, which provides a different motivation for change and can set treatment on an entirely different and infinitely more productive path"--

The status quo of gender-based inequality and discrimination in our society perpetuates the notion that we live in “a man’s world”. Traditional masculine stereotypes persist in a culture which identifies men as self-reliant, emotionally reticent, focused on work over family, and oversexed. When these beliefs are taken to extreme levels by boys and men, they result in poor relationships, mental health problems and risky behaviours. Rethinking masculinity can help men and boys to move away from narrow masculine ideals and negative role models towards healthier, more diverse approaches to male identity. This book explores what it means to be a “a real man” in Australia, questioning the masculine stereotypes which sustain gender inequality. In addition, the book examines “toxic masculinity”, traditional male gender roles, misogyny and attitudes which promote violence and disrespect towards women. It also addresses the impacts of traditional masculine norms on men’s health and wellbeing. What does it mean to be a man in a changing world – is there really a crisis in masculinity? How can society – and boys and men as individuals – encourage positive, healthier masculinities?
