ABSTRACT

This chapter uses a gender-sensitive analysis, which accounts for power and heterosexuality, additional elucidations about both Zimbardo's study and also Abu Ghraib are evidenced. At Abu Ghraib, the postmodern deconstructed and imploded meanings of gender function in that they elucidate not only the consequences of gender for individuals, but also help explain the chaos of the prison using a gendered perspective. Gender is both performatively and radically constructed, but is also socially understood according to rules, norms, discourse, and power, as these provide the basis for social value within the larger population. Accordingly, feminist social theorists question the gendered hierarchy of cultures that privilege males, as this endeavor questions the social theory cannon's universal voice that represents masculine biases. The "code of cultural masculinity", where both masculinity and heterosexuality function together as powerful cultural ideology, was demonstrated at both locations, the "Stanford Prison" and also at Abu Ghraib.
