This book uses Deleuze's work to understand the politics of
masculinity today. It analyses masculinity in terms of what it
does, how it operates and what its affects are. Taking a pragmatic
approach, Hickey-Moody shapes chapters around key Deleuzian
concepts that have proved generative in masculinity studies and
then presents case studies of popular subjects and offers overviews
of disciplines that have applied Deleuze's work to the study of
men's lives. This book shows how the concepts of affect and
assemblage have contributed to, and transformed, the work
undertaken by the foundational concept of performativity in gender
studies. Examining the work of Deleuze and Guattari on the
psychoanalytic boy, as exemplified by their writing on Little Hans,
Hickey-Moody reconsiders the politics of their approach to
psychoanalytic models of young masculinity. In this context, the
author examines contemporary lived performances of young
masculinity, drawing on her own fieldwork. The field of disability
and masculinity studies has taken up the work of Deleuze and
Guattari in a nearly unprecedented fashion. Accordingly, the book
also explores the gendered nature of disability, and canvases some
of the substantive scholarly contributions that have been made to
this interdisciplinary space, before introducing case studies of
the work of North American photographer Michael Stokes and the
popular Hollywood film Me Before You. The book provocatively
concludes by challenging scholars to take up Deleuze's thought to
re-shape gendered economies of knowledge and matter that support
and contribute to systems of patriarchal domination mediated
through environmental exploitation.
