In the last few years, scientists have discovered what indigenous communities have known for countless generations: that the emotional and physical lives of our ancestors will fundamentally affect our emotional and physical lives as well. Despite the increasingly evident effect that both trauma and/or gratitude can have on an individual (and by extension their offspring), there has been precious little research done on the effects of gratitude on future generations. This paper will seek to study the effect of gratitude as a deep spiritual practice that changes—not only those who practice it—but also the generations that follow. It will do so through the lenses of generational, psychological, and theological studies using the gratitude worldview and practices of the Ojibwa Native Americans as our entry point into the study of blood memory. It will also offer suggestions for church communities looking to reclaim gratitude as a spiritual practice in modern times drawing from the Church’s institutional “blood memory.”

Discussions of crying and love are not what one might expect to find when examining interactions between recreational bodybuilders online. Gendered emotion ideologies, especially related to muscular masculinities, usually forbid men from exhibiting emotional vulnerability in front of other men, as emotional detachment is one of the ways gender hierarchies are maintained. Building on Connell’s concept of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ and Hochschild’s concept of ‘emotion management’, this article analyses emotional exchanges within an international community of male recreational bodybuilders: fans of Aziz Shavershian, known as ‘Zyzz’. We examine the meaning of emotions within the Zyzz fandom’s local hierarchy of masculinities, the expressive freedoms afforded by the context of their emotional interactions, and the strategies employed by Zyzz and fans to traverse masculine emotion ideologies that usually prevent men from expressing love and affection.

Body Building

Neste artigo, parte-se da ideia de corpo virtual, de sexualidade e das histórias do travestismo e transexualismo. Aborda-se a busca pelo feminino por alguns homens e também por mulheres. Para tanto, utiliza-se o conceito de body building, um fenômeno que começou no pós-guerra e vem se solidificando na atualidade devido ao desenvolvimento da ciência na área de cirurgia plástica e outros métodos de construção do corpo. Discute-se a inadequação do termo travestismo, uma vez que a caracterização do feminino nestes casos não está mais só nas vestes e sim, também no corpo. Por fim, fala-se a respeito da força que a feminilidade exerce sobre o ser humano e de um novo sujeito que surge nas sociedades atuais, desafiando conceitos teóricos e padrões culturais de gênero.
