This volume showcases cutting-edge research in the linguistic and
discursive study of masculinities, comprising the first significant
edited collection on language and masculinities since Johnson and
Meinhof's 1997 volume. Overall, the chapters are linked together by
a critical analytical perspective that seeks to understand the
relationships between discourse, masculinities, and power. Whereas
some of the chapters offer detailed, linguistically informed
critiques of the ways in which old and new expressions of
masculinities are complicit in the reproduction of men's hegemonic
positions of power, others provide a more complex picture, one in
which collusion and subversion go hand in hand. Contributions argue
for the need for research on language and masculinities to expand
its remit so as to engage with "gay masculinities," and unsettle
gendered categories in order to consider the ways in which women,
transgender, and intersex individuals also perform a variety of
masculinities. Finally, unlike Johnson and Meinhof's 1997
collection, this volume not only offers a wider-and perhaps
"queerer" perspective-on the study of language and masculinities,
but also covers a broader geographical and socio-cultural spectrum,
including work on Brazil, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, and South
Africa.
