He pursues debates in psychoanalysis and cultural theory in relation to two representative male characters in novels by Rudy Wiebe (A Discovery of Strangers) and Robert Kroetsch (The Man from the Creeks). Ranging from debates on the Hegelian master-slave dialectic to the Lacanian Name of the Father, and from Butler's strange gender...

We take for granted the idea that white, middle-class, straight masculinity connotes total control of emotions, emotional inexpressivity, and emotional isolation. That men repress their feelings as they seek their fortunes in the competitive worlds of business and politics seems to be a given. This collection of essays by prominent literary and cultural critics rethinks such commonly held views by addressing the history and politics of emotion in...

We are coming to realize that our homes, vehicles, jobs and possessions are not sufficient to stave off the crisis of meaning many of us find when life does not meet our expectations. Sojourn reminds us that life is often messycomplex...

En Hombres solos - Ser varón en el siglo XXI, Horacio Vázquez-Rial analiza y disecciona los mitos en torno a la mujer y al hombre, a la vez que desmonta las teorías basadas en la diferencia de géneros. Consigue poner bajo sospecha las teorías que manejan, a modo de biblia y de manera inmovilista, sociólogos y feministas. "Que nadie se confunda: no estoy condenando el feminismo como tal.
Creer eso sería equivalente a creer que estoy a favor...

From “AskMen” senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes “The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood”, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that's neither particularly...

It is no secret that men are in trouble today. From war to ecological collapse, most of the world's critical problems stem from a distorted masculinity out of control. Yet our culture rewards the very dysfunctions responsible for those problems. To Matthew Fox, our crucial task is to open our minds to a deeper understanding of the healthy masculine than we receive from our media, culture, and religions. Popular religion forces the punitive imagery...

Dr. Harvey Kaye, emeritus assistant clinical professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College, has spent decades analyzing matters of gender and sexual orientation. He's seen modern men lured by the siren song of the "Masculine Mystique" and pressured to fulfill the "Dominance Drive" and the "Heroic Imperative." The result is The Affairs of Men, a wry view of the masculine wilderness.
Pressured by conflicting societal and familial standards, besieged...

How far does fathering become a journey of personal self-development? What happens to "outside children" when the father also has children at home? Why do fathers believe that they must toughen their sons? These are some of the questions which are carefully explored in this groundbreaking study of Jamaican...

From the notoriously contrarian author of Against Love, a witty and probing examination of why badly behaved men have been her lifelong fascination, on and off the page
It's no secret that men often behave in intemperate ways, but in recent years we've witnessed so many spectacular public displays of male excess-disgraced politicians, erotically desperate professors, fallen sports icons-that we're left to wonder whether something has come unwired...

In Oklahoma in the 1980's and 1990's, suicide, not accident as previously assumed, was the leading cause of agricultural fatalities among farmers. Men were five times more likely to die by suicide than by accident. What was causing these men, but not women, to want to kill themselves? Ramírez-Ferrero suggests that the root causes lie not in purely economic or personal factors but rather in the processes of modernization. He shows how cultural and...

Desde hace algunos años se habla, en el contexto del psicoanálisis, de cierta "feminización del mundo". La expresión es curiosa: retoma, por un lado, la llamada "estetización de la vida cotidiana", de la que algunos filósofos han hablado desde los 80 hasta nuestros días; pero también, por otro, agrega un matiz suplementario, referido a una cuestión de las posiciones sexuadas.
En sentido amplio, la concepción vulgar entiende esta expresión...

The two phenomena highlighted in this edited volume 'motherhood/mothering and masculinities' are each recent areas of development in critical Feminist and Men's Studies. In contributing to these areas of gender studies, this book draws attention to the fact that much can also be, gained when we explore relationships between them, an idea that may not readily come to mind. While femininities and masculinities are co-constructed, motherhood and mothering...

Los estudios sobre masculinidades son unas de las líneas más recientes dentro de los Estudios de Género. La preocupación por comprender el lugar de opresión que históricamente han vivido las mujeres, ha dejado cierta ausencia en lo que atañe a comprender el lugar y las condiciones de posibilidad a través de las cuales se ejerce el lugar de dominación de los varones. De hecho, esta misma perspectiva que sostiene la existencia de un solo lugar...
