Discursive practices of masculinism can have multiple and complex
effects in the lives of participants in education. While hegemonic
masculinity seeks to exert totalizing force over the lives of women
and of men who resist heteronormative vectors of power, individual
social subjects continue to work for self-realization. The creation
of coherent narratives of self by subjects who resist masculinism
has been achieved in diverse educational contexts. Up until now,
however, issues of masculinism in educational contexts in Japan
have not received widespread attention in English language
publications. This book helps to fill this gap through its
engagement with the lives of fifteen stakeholders in education in
Japan, and its ethnographic level of detail for three case studies.
It contains a clear account of how psychoanalytic feminist theory
is employed in the interpretation of life history narratives and an
exploration of how masculinism affects people's quality of
educational experience. The book will be of interest to critically
minded participants in education and to those who explore
gender/sexuality studies in east Asia and elsewhere.
