This collection covers a diverse and multi-disciplinary range of
topics on how masculinities might be re-imagined outside of
patriarchal power structures. Crucially, the book highlights the
lived complexity of both patriarchies and masculinities as plural
and situated, exploring questions of how they are constructed,
negotiated and re-negotiated in daily practice; of how performative
regimes interact, contradict and overlap with each other across a
range of contexts. Contributors engage with theoretical frameworks
engaging with feminist theory, contemporary politics of gender,
bodies and marginalised experiences of masculinites. Global case
studies are wide-ranging and include analysis of masculinity among
communities such as drag artists, InCels and e-sports enthusiasts,
as well as in the context of the body, for instance in relation to
alcoholism and physical disability. In an era of resurgence of
typically hegemonic patriarchal figures in the form of 'strong men'
leadership, this book seeks to uncover what an alternative vision
of masculinity could look like - one that is firmly rooted in a
gender equality and feminist discourse.
