This book explores Chinese young men's views of manhood and
develops a new concept of 'elastic masculinity' which can be
stretched and forged differently in response to personal
relationships and local realities. Drawing from empirical research,
the author uses the term shenti (body-self) as a central concept to
investigate the Chinese male body and explores intimacy and kinship
within masculinity. She showcases how Chinese masculinities reflect
the resilience of Confucian notions as well as transnational ideas
of modern manhood. This is a unique dialogue with 'western'
discourse on masculinity, and an invaluable resource for
understanding the profound social changes that transformed gendered
arrangements in urban China.
