Bech proposes a novel interpretation of the nature of masculinity
and its connections with homosexuality. Besides a critical
discussion of existing theories in the area, the author also
analyses a rich variety of other materials, including novels, films
and other literature. "When Men Meet "represents both an analysis
of the places in which encounters occur - the railway station, the
park, the disco, the consulting room, the stadium - but is also a
metaphor for key aspects of modernity. In analysing the nature of
the modern social world, Bech makes use of insights from Adorno and
Benjamin as well as Sartre and Heidegger.
Modernity and sexuality, Bech argues, are both intertwined and
changing. He concludes by proposing that, having been created by
modernity, 'the homosexual' is now disappearing in conjunction with
the changes transforming modernity itself.
