Abstract

In this article we offer a research ‐ based response to and critique of approaches suggested to address boys’ literacy and pedagogical reform. Our aim is to open up a dialogue by examining the conceptual limits imposed by casting boys as particular sorts of literate subjects. We argue against officially sanctioned literacy practices that fail to engage with research ‐ based literature that raises serious questions about gender reform initiatives. We suggest caution and further informed dialogue in response to media generated public concerns and educational policies aimed at remasculinizing schools rather than interrogating gender binaries. Key words: masculinity, gender reform, literacy practices, essentialist frameworks Dans cet article, les auteurs offrent, a la suite de leurs recherches, une reponse aux approches suggerees pour s’attaquer a la litteratie chez les garcons et a la reforme pedagogique. Tout en formulant des critiques, les chercheurs visent a ouvrir un dialogue en examinant les limites conceptuelles imposees lorsqu’on considere les garcons comme des types particuliers de sujets quant a la litteratie. Les auteurs s’opposent aux pratiques officiellement sanctionnees en matiere de litteratie, mais faisant fi de la litterature qui, fondee sur la recherche, souleve de graves questions au sujet des initiatives de reforme selon le sexe. Ils suggerent d’etre prudents et de poursuivre un dialogue eclaire en reponse aux inquietudes du public suscitees par les medias et aux politiques de l’enseignement visant a remasculiniser les ecoles plutot qu’a remettre en question la vision binaire des genres. Mots cles: masculinite, reforme selon le sexe, pratiques de litteratie, cadres essentialistes
