Presenting a survey of the social, cultural and theoretical issues
which surround and inform our understanding of masculinity, this
book explores the interface between traditional sociological
approaches and the work covered by more post-structural,
media-driven or cultural perspectives. Edwards well known for his
work on representations of masculinities, uses grounded examples of
the job market and domestic violence to set his theoretical
discussion. He argues that there is a need for more dialogue on men
and masculinities between disciplines, and considers the validity
of the concerns and anxieties which surround masculinity in the
contemporary world through a range of key topics, including: the
new man, the new lad and 'men's movements' men, masculinity and
violence marginalized masculinities: black masculinity and gay male
sexuality queer theory, performativity and fashion cinema,
representation and the body. One of the most comprehensive and
progressive studies of modern masculinity available, this book will
be essential reading for students of gender, culture and sociology.
