It aim to understand the influence of the religious ideas in the construction of the sort identity. To reach this objective, we look for to understand the influence of the religion in the social construction of the masculinities and, also, to understand the social and religious reasons that propitiate the institution of the masculine supremacy hierarchic. Speaking about of masculinities estimates that means to speak of objectivity, responsibility, tradition, power, steps, virility, these expressions they means to be able in the social interrelation of sort. Such affirmations find cultural and historical endorsement in the philosophy and the theology. The domination is understood in this work as characteristic trace of the relations of hierarchy sort. Our tradition culture has presented the idea that the sacred one for excellence, God, is a masculine entity, with patriarchies traces. The result of this cultural construction is the predominant characteristic of the masculine identity of sort, today, the conception is the man as dominator. / Esta dissertação versa sobre a construção cultural da supremacia masculina. Visa compreender a influência das idéias religiosas na construção da identidade de gênero. Para atingir este objetivo, procuramos compreender a influência da religião na construção social da masculinidade e, também, compreender os motivos sociais e religiosos que propiciam a instituição da supremacia hierárquica masculina. Falar de masculinidade pressupõe falar de objetividade, responsabilidade, tradição, potência, providência, virilidade, expressões estas que significam poder na inter-relação social de gênero. Tais afirmações encontram respaldo cultural e histórico na filosofia e na teologia. A dominação é entendida, neste trabalho, como traço característico das relações de gênero hierarquizado. Nossa tradição cultural tem apresentado a idéia de que o sagrado por excelência, Deus, é uma entidade masculina, com traços patriarcais. O resultado dessa construção cultural é que a característica predominante da identidade de gênero masculina, hoje, é a concepção do homem como dominador.

The aim of this study has been to highlight the situation for young men within the context of honour. The aim has also been to highlight the restrictions of young men within the context of honour, and how they rebel against those demands. The study was based on a qualitative research method and carried out in Sweden. The results have been analyzed using the hermeneutic perspective. The results showed that the situation for young men within the context of honour is often manifested by controlling their sisters and the expectation that the young men support their families in the future by marring a woman who has been approved by the collective. The young men are restricted because they are not free to dispose of their spare time themselves, cannot choose their future partner or socialize with people from other cultures. The young men can rebel against these restrictions by negotiating with those in authority within the family, by gaining support within or outside the context or by breaking away from it. The conclusion of the study was that by highlighting the situation for young men within the context of honour you gain understanding for the context as a whole.

Följande frågor driver denna studie framåt. Hur upplever invandrarkvinnor det svenska samhällets krav på egen försörjning i förhållande till deras förutsättningar gällande familjens förväntningar på dem själva? Hur balanserar de samhällets förväntningar kring egen försörjning i förhållande till familjens förväntningar på sig själva inom familjen?   Den svenska arbetsmarknaden kan vara svår att integrera sig på för alla, inte minst för invandrare som inte behärskar språket. Därtill är det ännu svårare för en kvinna som lever i en patriarkal familjestruktur att ta sig ut på arbetsmarknaden, eftersom en sådan struktur bygger på att mannen styr i familjen och att männen därför står högre i rang än kvinnorna. Detta innebär att kvinnorna alltid måste fråga mannen först innan de tar sig för något, vad det än handlar om. En sådan struktur är enligt enförsörjarmodellen och det är mannen som arbetar, kvinnan ska vara hemma och ta hand om barn och hushåll. I ett nytt samhälle där tvåförsörjarmodellen styr blir det därför en stor vändning när kvinnan plötsligt ges möjlighet att arbeta.   Studien lägger fram, genom kvalitativa intervjuer, hur sju kvinnor flydde till Sverige från Kosovo på 90-talet och deras upplevelser av möjligheter till integration på den svenska arbetsmarknaden i förhållande till deras familjetradition. Resultatet visar att de invandrade kvinnorna vill jobba men att de stöter på hinder i form av familjens traditioner och deras upplevelse av omgivningens förväntningar. Kvinnorna känner sig väl bemötta av myndigheter, men upplever att de inte får den hjälp de egentligen är i behov av med tanke på deras familjetraditioner. Detta i sin tur gör det svårt för dem att balansera samhällets förväntningar kring egen försörjning i förhållande till familjens förväntningar på sig själva. / Following questions drive this study forward. How do immigrant women experience the Swedish society’s demands for self-sufficiency in relation to their requirements regarding the family's expectations of themselves? How do they balance the society’s expectations of self-sufficiency in relation to their family’s expectations on themselves within the family? The Swedish labor market can be hard to be integrated in for anyone, not at least for immigrants who do not master the language. In addition, it is even harder for a woman who lives in a patriarchal family structure to establish herself on the labor market, because such structures are based on the man ruling the family and that the men therefore have higher rank than the women. This means that the women always have to ask for their husbands’ permission before they do anything, no matter what it is. In such a structure only one supply for the family and the man works while the woman stays at home and takes care of the children and the household. Therefore, in a new society where both men and women supply for the family, it makes a large change when the woman suddenly is given the opportunity to work. This study presents, through qualitative interviews, how seven women fled to Sweden from Kosovo in the 90s and their experiences of opportunities for integration in the Swedish labor market in relation to their family tradition. The result shows that the immigrated women want to work but that they meet obstacles in terms of family traditions and their experiences of the expectations from the surroundings. The women feel that they are well received by the authorities, but they experience that they do not get the help that they truly need, considering their family traditions. This, in turn, makes it harder for them to balance society’s expectations concerning their own provision in relation to the family’s expectations on themselves.

The honour norm is strong within the Middle East but is scattered all over the world. As a result of immigration, the honorary context has become more established in Sweden. Violence, committed in the name of honour, is commonly executed by male family members. Thus, young men are forced, in some degree, to participate in the oppression and control of their sisters. Violence exercised in the name of honour, can be traced back to the patriarchal family system in which woman are subordinate to men. The purpose of this study is to highlight the young men's subjective perspective to honour and honour-related violence, as well as if they have managed to distance themselves from it. In the study, interviews are conducted with four young men. The results obtained show that some of the young men have an ambivalent attitude to certain matters relating to honour and what is not acceptable female behaviour. The results reveal that certain parts of the patriarchal thinking are identified in the opinions of some of the young men interviewed. Further, the results also suggest that education and community action are essential for the discussion of honour and the honour norm, in order to create change.
