Produktbeschreibung
This book focuses on the construction of hegemonic masculinity as well as its representations in literature, culture, and film. Although white heterosexual masculinity continues to be the dominant model, it remains, paradoxically, largely invisible in gender terms. While the first three chapters thus offer introductory theoretical perspectives on the latest research on white masculinities, the following chapters concentrate on applying masculinity theory to the analysis of both social constructions and cultural (i.e. literary and film) representations of men's emotions (with a special focus on new fatherhood models), friendships between men, as well as gender-based violence.

His carefully reasoned, critically aware and theoretically sound re-reading of contemporary film and fiction successfully shows why studying white hegemonic masculinity doesn t reinforce dominance, but exposes the inherent non-hegemonic, subversive possibilities and transforms it socially, politically, and culturally.
