The late-twentieth-century anxiety about a 'crisis in masculinity'
still persists today, particularly in English-speaking cultures.
Studying Men and Masculinities offers an engaging and comprehensive
overview of masculinity. Drawing on a wide range of cultural
practices and texts from different genres and media, David
Buchbinder examines the notion of patriarchy and the challenges to
patriarchal power, including queer theory. The book considers
whether crisis may in fact be built into the very structure of the
masculine, and examines emergent masculinities post-9/11.
Theoretical positions within the field are clearly explained and
applied to real life case studies from literature, film, and
television. Interspersed in each chapter are a series of questions
and tasks aimed at encouraging the reader to engage her/himself in
the study of masculinities in everyday life and popular culture.
This topical and thought-provoking book will be an invaluable
resource for students of masculinities studies, sexuality studies,
cultural studies, and gender theory.
