Ending Relationships

237
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Critical Theory
  • Activism Studies

Background:

  • The "anesthetic aesthetic" of whiteness, as defined by Mab Segrest, influences individuals trained within hegemonic systems.
  • This aesthetic can lead to emotional distancing from personal and collective suffering to facilitate assimilation into power structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine relationship and movement building across power dynamics, particularly within and outside academia.
  • To illustrate how the "anesthetic aesthetic" of whiteness manifests in feminist and queer organizing.
  • To explore healing justice as a transformative praxis for addressing systemic violence and dismantling white supremacist patriarchy.

Main Methods:

  • Autoethnographic reflection on personal and witnessed experiences in organizing.
  • Analysis of the "anesthetic aesthetic" of whiteness and its impact on emotional responses.
  • Exploration of healing justice as a framework for communal healing and social change.

Main Results:

  • The "anesthetic aesthetic" of whiteness compels individuals to distance themselves from pain to assimilate into dominant power structures.
  • Personal narratives from feminist and queer organizing demonstrate the manifestations and feelings associated with this distancing.
  • Healing justice offers a pathway to communal spaces for acknowledging and healing from violence.

Conclusions:

  • Transforming the "anesthetic aesthetic" requires creating spaces for shared vulnerability and healing.
  • Healing justice praxis can disrupt the influence of white supremacist patriarchy by fostering collective recognition and repair.
  • Movement building across power lines necessitates addressing and healing from the impacts of systemic oppression.
