Currents against gender transformation of South African men: relocating marginality to the centre of research and theory of masculinities

Abstract: 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-apartheid society. The inventory of these currents is intended to be taken as signposts of the ongoing struggle for dominance among the forces pressing against the project of changing gender power relations and men's transformation. The article suggests that while there are obvious hegemonic ideas about masculinity in the country, these ideas are complicated by the marginality of (South) African society in juxtaposition to powerful multinational capitalist ideologies.

Existence and Uniqueness of the Flow of Second‐Grade Fluids with Slip Boundary Conditions

Abstract: . This paper treats the solvability of the equations of motion for an incompressible fluid of grade two subject to nonlinear partial slip boundary conditions in a bounded simply‐connected domain. The existence of a unique classical solution, global in time, is proved under suitable regularity and growth restrictions on the initial data, the slip law and the body and surface forces. The method is based on a fixed-point formulation of the problem.
