Neopatriarchy

 

Understanding Neopatriarchy 

Writ by Oregonleatherboy 

 Neopatriarchy is a contemporary social structure that revives or maintains traditional patriarchal norms within modern contexts. 

 The term was coined by Palestinian-American intellectual Hisham Sharabi in his 1988 work, "Neopatriarchy: A Theory of Distorted Change in Arab Society" 1.

This concept primarily addresses the dynamics of gender and power in societies, where traditional male dominance persists despite modernizing influences.

Key Features of Neopatriarchy 

  

 Revival of Traditional Norms

Neopatriarchy emphasizes the resurgence of patriarchal values that may have been challenged or altered by modernization. This revival often manifests in:

social

 political

 and economic spheres

where male authority remains dominant 1. 

Impact on Social Change 

 Sharabi's analysis suggests that the setbacks experienced in the Arab world regarding social transformation can be attributed to the persistence of these patriarchal structures.

He argues that rather than progressing towards gender equality, many societies are experiencing a distortion of change that reinforces male dominance 2. 

Cultural Context 

 Neopatriarchy is not limited to the Arab world; it can also be observed in various global contexts where traditional gender roles are upheld in the face of modernity. 

This includes the intersection of neoliberal capitalism with patriarchal values, where male dominance is central to societal structures 3. 

Contemporary Relevance

 The concept of neopatriarchy has gained attention in discussions about gender politics, particularly in relation to movements that seek to challenge or redefine traditional gender roles. 

It highlights the ongoing struggles against entrenched patriarchal systems and the need for feminist resistance to promote gender equality in various cultural contexts.

Perception

How  do we perceive reality?

For humans to have an understanding of information processed within our anatomy scientists have turned to computer processing systems (Shannon & Weaver, 1963).   After WWII, building upon computational theory of mind scientists theorized cognitive psychology.

Perception is the process of acquiring, interpreting, and understanding sensory information. It is a complex process that involves many cognitive and neural processes.   The way we perceive reality is a result of our senses. Our senses are the only way we can know what is happening in the world around us.

Implicit interoceptive perception is the process of perceiving one's own body and its sensations. It is a form of self-awareness that is not consciousness, but rather subconscious.  —

The term "interoception" was coined by Sir Charles S. Sherrington in 1906 to describe the process of sensing and interpreting stimuli arising from within the body.  Describe properly as the visceral receptive the exteroceptive or the proprioception used to describe: smell, odor or olfactory sound or auditory touch or tactile  light or visual   temperature   nociception.   latin nocere "to harm or hurt"

The word "implicit" was added to the term in 1990 by American psychologist Ronald Melzack to denote that this type of perception does not require conscious awareness or attention/focus .

The term "interoceptive" is derived from the Latin word "interior" which means "within." It is a term that refers to the perception of sensations that originate from within the body.

Explicit Interoceptive Perception (EIP) is a new concept in psychology and neuroscience. It refers to the conscious awareness of bodily sensations, such as heart rate, breathing, and stomach contractions.

Perception is the process by which individuals and societies make sense of the world. It is a complex process that involves many cognitive functions, such as:  attention Salience Valence memory  language

Information processing   Absorbing data bits manipulate to our advantage Combining idea to make fresh; new; unique; helpful ones Encoding information for storing through classification  Pulling from memory through retrieval remembering ( "Definition of information processing". The Free Dictionary. Princeton University. 2012. Retrieved 12/2022)

Theory Of Intelligence  (Sternberg & Sternberg, 2012) creative  analytical  practical abilities  The first segment is creativity and involves a person's ability to come up with new ideas by combining old ideas. Creativity

Analytical is the information processing segment of   meta components planning evaluating problems performance components Take lead from meta components  knowledge-acquisition components  Solve problems (Sternberg & Sternberg, 2012).

What is the role of the executive system in perception?

The executive system is located in the frontal lobe of the brain and includes regions such as the: prefrontal cortex (PFC) anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)  dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

What is the role of memory in perception?

Memory is the ability to store and recall information. Memory can be either short-term or long-term. Short-term memory lasts for a few seconds, while long-term memory lasts for days, months, or even years. Atkinson-Shiffrin memory model also called the multi-store model memories will only be stored in memory with completion of 3 processes: sensory memory short-term memory  long-term memory (Atkinson, R.C.; Shiffrin, R.M. (1968). "Human memory: A proposed system and its control processes". The Psychology of Learning and Motivation. New York: Academic Press. pp. 89–195.)
