A Novel

James Gruber

Despite over twenty years of discussion and study, sexual harassment remains a significant problem in the workplace. Current research focusing on organizational policy and women's career development often ignores the reality of male dominance, prevalent in areas such as the military, the police, and firefighting-occupations that see not only more frequent but also more severe harassment, even sexual assault. Meanwhile, new evidence points to the fact that men are largely responsible not only for the harassment of women but for most harassment of other men as well. This landmark collection of original essays investigates the links between male dominance and sexual harassment in light of new research and more complex understandings of masculinity. Treated not merely as a matter of worker sex ratios but as an inherent element of workplace culture, male dominance is observed from a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches ranging from criminology and sociology to psychology and gender studies. Integrating both men's and women's viewpoints, research across occupational groups, and studies from both the United States and Europe, the chapters provide an invaluable international perspective into two inextricably intertwined problems rooted in cultural constructions of gender and institutional roles and processes.

Male Dominance and Sexual Harassment

In the Company of Men

Il padre di Corinne e Ashley è morto un anno fa, ma le due sorelle, che gli erano entrambe molto legate, avrebbero davvero bisogno del suo supporto. Ashley infatti vede il marito tornare ogni giorno più tardi dall’ufficio, la figlia di pochi mesi sembra incapace di dormire e quella adolescente, Lucy, quasi non le rivolge la parola. A Corinne, invece, piacerebbe avere i problemi della sorella, frustrata com’è dalle difficoltà che sta incontrando nel rimanere incinta. Un quadro familiare apparentemente normale viene turbato dal misterioso ritrovamento da parte di Corinne, prima in casa e poi in ufficio, di alcune parti della sua vecchia casa delle bambole, costruitale proprio dal padre. Chi le sta lasciando, e come se le è procurate? Quando scopre che la casa giocattolo è sparita dalla soffitta della vecchia villa dei suoi, Corinne comincia a vedere minacce ovunque. Dovrà riuscire a distinguere il vero dal falso per scoprire chi sta attentando al benessere della sua famiglia.

Callum e Siobhan Dillon e la loro figlia adolescente Emma si stanno godendo le vacanze estive nella villa di Maria, la sorella di Siobhan, quando l’idillio viene bruscamente interrotto.

Per Siobhan è l’inizio di un incubo: dopo anni in cui ha cercato in ogni modo di tenere insieme la famiglia, nonostante i continui tradimenti del marito e la ribellione adolescenziale di Emma, adesso rischia di perdere tutto quello che ha. Nel tentativo di proteggere la figlia, si sforza di rimanere a fianco del marito, mentre gli investigatori cercano le prove che Callum abbia davvero ucciso Caroline e portato via Eve. Ma qualcosa nella ricostruzione dei fatti non quadra e sembra indicare che la soluzione del caso è una verità molto più oscura di quanto tutti pensino.
