Sociological investigation of modernity, society and everyday life
often centre on a predominately urban experience. The research in
this book focuses on two areas of growing importance: masculinity
as a socially-constructed gender, and the impact of place or space
on identity, but considers young men living in areas that are not
densely populated--rural or agricultural areas, coastal areas,
lowly populated or un-developed areas--and how the characteristics
of these places have impacted on their relationships, activities
and identities. Examining both representations in film, print and
media and ethnographic research methods, the reader is provided
with evidence "straight from the horses mouth" and may reflect on
the differences between popular representation and imagination and
the everyday reality of existing on the physical margins of modern
life.
This book gives insights on youth, masculinity and place by
exploring spatially marginalized masculinities in stigmatized and
romanticized out-of-the-way places in 'developed' Western
countries. It shows the impact of globalization on place and
identity through global ethnographic studies and media
representations of young men in peripheral places.
