Explores British cinematic representations of masculinityFrom the
new man to the metrosexual, British society from the 1990s to the
2000s was pre-occupied with questions about masculinity, and more
specifically with the idea that it was somehow 'in crisis.' The
first book-length study of British cinematic representations of
masculinity in this period, this fascinating study offers a
feminist analysis of key tropes in this era, including the New Lad,
fatherhood and masculine violence. Positioning these
representations within the specific context of British
manifestations of postfeminism and neoliberalism, the book explores
the shifting representations of masculinity in popular British
cinema and offers a detailed analysis of important recent
developments in gender culture. With case studies of films like
Brassed Off (1996), The Full Monty (1997), Trainspotting (1996) and
About a Boy (2002), this book is a fascinating insight into an
understudied period of British cinema and culture. Case studies
include: Brassed Off The Full Monty All or Nothing Archipelago
Trainspotting Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels The Football
Factory TwentyFourSeven My Name is Joe Bullet Boy When Saturday
Comes About A Boy My Son the Fanatic East is East Nil by Mouth
Naked Enduring Love Bronson
