Popular culture is awash with discussions about the difficulties
associated with being a man. Television talk shows, media articles
and government press releases discuss not simply the problem of
men, but have more recently focused on the problems of being a man.
The Conundrum of Masculinity challenges highly advertised beliefs
that men are in crisis and struggling to hold onto traditional
masculine habits whilst the world around them changes. Indeed,
whilst there is a range of valuable contributions to the field that
examine how men live out their lives in different contexts, there
are few accounts that examine in detail the building blocks of
masculinity or how men are really 'put together'. Thus, this
innovative and timely volume seeks to provide a systematic
exploration of the different aspects of masculinity - in particular
hegemony, homosociality, homophobia and heteronormativity. An
original approach to the field of masculinity studies, this book
ultimately presents a critical synthesis that brings together
disparate approaches to provide a clear and concise discussion to
address the true nature of masculinity. The Conundrum of
Masculinity will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students
interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Masculinity Studies
and Sociology.
