In recent years, attending to diversity in the cultivation of
embodied identity has been given additional impetus as a result of
intersectionality theory. Despite this, a key gap remains in terms
of knowledge about masculinity and disability. This book addresses
this lacuna through ten empirical chapters organised through the
inter-related themes of corporeality, pedagogy and the critique of
otherness. Each of the chapters positions the subject of
masculinity and disability as a site of cultural pedagogy by
affirming different ways of knowing of masculinity beyond dominant
ideologies that normalise a particular masculine body and relegate
disabled masculinities to the position of abnormal 'Other'. Part
One focuses on pedagogy. Through the materialities of 'medicalized
colonialism', imprimaturs of 'relational genealogies', 'compounding
differences' and an analytical exposition of some of the
neo-colonial conditions of the Global South within
spatially-considered places of the Global North, Chapter 1 examines
the denial of human rights to the Indigenous Anishinaabe community
of Shoal Lake 40 in Canada. Chapter 1 theorises masculine
corporeality in terms that take seriously First Nations', national
and transnational body politics seriously. Chapter 2 examines the
ways that movement and affect serve as a form of pedagogy for boys
with autism spectrum in schools. Part Two's focus on corporeality
includes an examination of the nexus of disability and diagnosis in
the context of transgender men's experiences of mental health, and
a discussion of the ways that intersex individuals who identify as
men and have experienced 'genital normalising surgery' actively
negotiate pluralised masculinities. The focus on media in Part
Three encompasses a study of the mis-interpellation of the disabled
male subject in Australian male literature, research on the
discursive strategies utilised in media representations of disabled
veterans in Turkey, and an analysis of the political implications
of depictions of masculinity, disability and sexualities in a
variety television program. Part Four's theme of self-stylisation
takes up the questions of men's reconstructions of masculinity in
light of Lyme Disease, the potential pleasures of heterosexuality
for young men with a hearing disability in the realm of
Australian-Rules Football, and the diverse ways that disabled men
negotiate patriarchal masculinity in intimate relationships.
