Bar Wars: Changing Geographies of Gender in Spain
Gilmore, David
This paper looks at gender segregation in rural Spain from an historical viewpoint. The subject is gender apartheid: female seclusion and male dominance in public places and the vicissitudes therein. The paper shows how a venerable pattern of female seclusion has been challenged and describes what the social consequences cultural are of this cultural upheaval. Working from the premise of public/private? as ethnographically valid, the author describes how women in Andalusia have created a new institution specifically designed to breech the barriers of masculine space and attain public access.

Masculinity research and global change
Connell, Raewyn
The development of research on masculinity since the 1980s hasproduced rich evidence of the diversity of masculinities. This is now anestablished research field and has had many practical applications. Ithas not yet fully absorbed the wealth of ideas and debates aboutmasculinities and social change that come from the colonized and postcolonial world. Power has always been an important issue in understanding masculinities, and we now need to think about powerstructures on a world scale. Research on neoliberal globalization, onHIV/AIDS, and on elite masculinities, are significant sites for this work.The concept of hegemonic masculinity is still useful, but it should notbe equated with violence. We need to pay attention to incoherences in gender relations, and the politics of gendered institutions, in thinkingabout inequality and change.

Servitude and Sacrifice: Masculinity and domestic labour
Chopra, Radhika
¿Qué significa ser un sirviente masculino en la India moderna? La rica literatura antropológica sobre el "hogar", la "sexualidad" y el "trabajo" ha sido muy negligente a la hora de abordar la cuestión de la masculinidad y el trabajo doméstico. Utilizando la biografía como método para enmarcar la vida vivida como sirviente masculino, sugiero que la "biografía de un sirviente" sólo se completa en una vida posterior, con la que el sirviente se convierte en un hombre.
sólo se completa en una vida posterior con la que se vincula
imaginativa y sustancialmente. Además, la historiografía de la servidumbre sitúa a la trabajadora como protagonista principal, de modo que la plantilla sobre la que se construye la comprensión del trabajo doméstico es femenina.

Communicative acts which promote new masculinities. Overcoming hegemonic masculinity in the workplace and the school
Portell, David
Pulido, Cristina
Scientific literature has emphasized how the reproduction of hegemonicmasculinity has led to several social problems, such as gender violence,criminality or bullying (Connell 1987, 2005, 2006; Kimmel 2000,Messerschimdt, 1993, Bourdieu 1998). There are several findings about theinfluence of this model in cases of sexual harassment suffered by women in theworkplace(Mackinnon, 1979; Thomas & Kitzinger1997; Wise & Stanley1987) as well as hegemonic masculinity and homophobia at the school (Mac anGhaill 2007). In this article we will present evidence on both issues but also onovercoming process derived from the research project entitled Impact ofcommunicative acts on the construction of new masculinities funded by theSpanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. The research illustrates theinfluence of communicative acts on the promotion of new masculinities, farremoved from the hegemonic one, which are based on values like equality andsolidarity. We will present some data about how specific communicative actscan favour the recognition and visibility of new masculinities in the workplaceand the School, specifically in a Small and MediumsizedEnterprise, an AdultEducation centre and a Vocational School.

Shifting Masculinities in AngloAmerican Countries
Anderson, Eric
This article provides an overview of the changing nature ofmasculinities in several English speaking cultures. The evidence andtheory come from numerous investigations into masculinities amongboth gay and straight male youths in the United States, UnitedKingdom, Canada and Australia. Collectively, I show that culturalhomophobia is rapidly decreasing among young men in these cultures, and that this is particularly true of teamsport athletes. I suggest that thedominant way of theorizing masculinities over the previous quartercentury, hegemonic masculinity theory, is incapable of explaining thesechanges. Thus, I introduce a new theory, inclusive masculinity theory, and the new heuristic concept of homohysteria, to make sense of thechanging nature of young men’s masculinities.

Rethinking the Latin-American Male-chauvinism
Fuller, Norma J.
En este ensayo intento reflexionar sobre la validez de la identificación de la masculinidad en Latinoamérica con el llamado machismo: la exacerbación de la virilidad y el predominio de los varones sobre las mujeres. Propongo que estos rasgos responden a la particular configuración histórica de las sociedades mestizas americanas y a la cualidad intrínsecamente contradictoria de la identidad masculina en estas sociedades. Tomando como fuente investigaciones realizadas entre varones urbanos del Perú reviso las representaciones de masculinidad de estas poblaciones y los cambios que han atravesado en las últimas décadas. Concluyo que, si bien el machismo está muy presente en su discurso, en la actualidad la figura del macho es el epitome de una masculinidad cuestionada y de las dificultades que atraviesan los varones en un mundo donde las viejas certezas se derrumban

Awakening a Sense of Injustice
Stoudt, Brett
Rockport is an elite, all boys, day school in the northeast United States. It educates mostly white, wealthy, young men. Student researchers, faculty researchers and I collaborated to study bullying at Rockport using an approach to research known as participatory action research (PAR). In the process we also gained a better understanding of how privilege, especially gendered privilege, was socialized and (re)produced. The participatory research spaces that emerged in our project - grounded in the experiences of students, teachers, and administrators - facilitated critical awareness of self and context that Deutsch (2006) referred to as "awaking the sense of injustice." Over the course of a year, our research at Rockport collected data of local consequence and in doing so, built institutional momentum that has since become a school-wide and ongoing initiative to address bullying. As a result, this work was a form of counter-hegemonic action.

Attractiveness Male Models in Adolescence
Padrós, Maria
La masculinidad hegemónica persiste en nuestra sociedad a través de diferentes mecanismos. La violencia de género es un ejemplo de ello y se manifiesta en distintos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana. Algunas aportaciones sobre el estudio de las masculinidades y las relaciones afectivas y sexuales son deterministas y no profundizan en las causas sociales de esta violencia. En el presente artículo se mostrarán evidencias de como los modelos de atractivo masculinos tienen una vertiente social. La socialización que vincula deseo con agresividad y violencia explican el porqué de la persistencia de esta problemática social. Los planteamientos coeducativos que tengan en cuenta las evidencias de esta línea de investigación podrán aportar propuestas de superación de los efectivos negativos del modelo de masculinidad hegemónica.

Advertising, Gender and Health Advice: The Case of Men’s Health in the Year 2000
Stibbe, Arran
This article examines the potential influence of advertising in health magazines through detailed analysis of advertisements contained in 12 issues of the US magazine Men's Health from the year 2000, in the context of the articles which surround the advertisements. Tensions are explored between the role of the magazines in constructing male consumers to deliver to advertisers, and the dispensing of genuine health advice. Tensions are particularly apparent when health advice would go against typical images of hegemonic masculinity, for example advice to drink less alcohol, eat less meat, eat less convenience food, or reduce involvement in risky behaviour. The conclusion considers whether in constructing a male consumer, which in itself threatens traditional masculine images since it involves an interest in fashion, shopping and grooming products, there is potential for magazines to compromise health advice by avoiding further threats to traditional masculinity.

American Men’s and Women’s Beliefs about Gender Discrimination: For Men, It’s Not Quite a Zero-Sum Game
Bosson, Jennifer Katherine

Vandello, Joseph A.

Michniewicz, Kenneth S.

Lenes, Joshua Guy
University of South Florida
We surveyed Americans regarding their beliefs about gender discrimination over the past several decades. Men and women agreed that women faced much more discrimination than men in the past, and they agreed that the discrimination gap between men and women has narrowed in recent years. However, men perceived the gap as narrower than women did at all time periods, and reported that there is little difference today in the amount of gender discrimination women and men face. Political ideology moderated these beliefs such that conservative men were most likely to report that anti-Man bias now equals or exceeds anti-Woman bias. Similar to recent research on beliefs about racism, these findings suggest that groups which differ historically in status and power exhibit perceptual differences regarding the changing nature of discrimination.

Gender, Masculinity, Femininity, and Help Seeking in College
Marrs, Heath

Sigler, Ellen A
Western Carolina University
Brammer, Robyn D
Central Washington University
The current academic performance struggles of college men is gaining increasing research attention (Sax, 2008a, 2008b), but few studies have explored the possible impact of gender-related attributes such as masculinity and femininity on academic help-seeking behaviors and academic performance. In this study of 567 college undergraduates, students who classified themselves as androgynous on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory were more likely to engage in academic help-seeking behaviors than those classified as male sex-typed, female sex-typed, and undifferentiated. No significant differences were found for academic performance. These results highlight the importance of exploring the potential influence of gender-related constructs on academic behavior and performance.

Spartan Mirages: Fat, Masculinity, and “Softness"
Forth, Christopher
Building upon previous research on structural tensions between the male body and certain features of ‘modernity’ as well as more recent inquiries into fat and gender in the West, this cross-disciplinary ‘thought piece’ argues that fatness and certain ‘masculine’ ideals have existed in a state of tension since ancient times, and that recurring references to the therapeutic violence of ‘Spartan’ techniques reflect the extent to which such ideas continue to circulate in the present. The first section shows that this tension is most clearly illuminated when we consider how the qualities of fat - as well as the act of fattening - have related to classical ideals about masculinity. The second offers examples of how references to Spartan ‘hardness’ have been cited since the eighteenth century as methods of restoring otherwise ‘soft’ males to a more appropriately vigorous mental and bodily state. Without arguing for an unbroken or unproblematic continuity between ancient and modern culture, it suggests that classical references represent what Pierre Bourdieu sees as ‘the product of an incessant (and thus historical) work of reproduction’.

The “Mask of Masculinity”: Underreported Declines in Male Friendship and Happiness in the United States
Klein, Jessie
Adelphi University http://www.jessieklein.com
Men suffer more as a result of contemporany social trends than is commonly known. A recent focus on women’s greater malaise may unnecessarily and inaccurately pathologize women’s emotional well-being. A widely cited study declares that women are less happy than they were thirty-five years ago and that their unhappiness is increasing at a faster rate than men’s. A closer examination of related research, however, indicates that men are faring at least as badly as women, especially due to trends in decreased social connections. In particular, the dissolution of marriage, one of the few institutions fostering social connections, may be particularly debilitating towards men. New technologies, increased pressures towards self-reliance, and extreme economic pressures are also linked to higher stress among men. This gender comparison, regarding whether men or women are less happy, occurs at a time when depression and anxiety are extremely high among American adults and youth; and happiness, according to several studies, is decreasing. In light of these concerns, future research must address these gaps in order to accurately assess men's well-being and social ties; and social change regarding efforts to increase well-being and community must be sensitive to needs more commonly associated with men (as well as women).

This article sets out some key methodological principles in developing a European research framework for studying men’s violences. This involves attention to gendered analysis and gendered power relations; gender collaboration; interconnections between social arenas; ethical and political sensitivities; examining and problematising roots and explanations of men’s violences; building on and reviewing the contribution of Critical Studies on Men; use ofmultiple methods, methodologies and epistemological frames; and, addressing intersections of multiple dimensions of power and disadvantage. Together, these principles and perspectives assist in developing a comparative and transnational orientation, by attending to cultural variations, convergences and divergences in time and space, and intersecting forms of power relations in the study ofmen’s violences in a European context.

Changing Affective Economies of Masculine Machineries and Military Masculinities? From Ernst Jünger to Shannen Rossmiller
Mellström, Ulf
Karlstad University
This article discusses the affective economy and changing representations of military masculinities with regard to transforming gendered, machinic and digital bodies of integrated (wo)man-machine systems. The self-mechanised ideal of the soldier body that the German writer Ernst Jünger came to formulate has been configurative for generations of military masculinities. Jünger’s work speaks directly to an affective understanding and embodied history of masculinity in the military. However, in the current times of virtual warfare, military masculinities are perhaps changing? As war is going cyber and technical wizardry is as valued as the brute strength of self-mechanised bodies, the body of the soldier is being destabilised. The case of Shannen Rossmiller is here working as a contrastive case. Rossmiller is FBI’s most regarded cyber counter-terrorist. She seems to inhabit and perform certain forms of masculinities better than her male colleagues.

Masculinities, Gender Equality and Violence
Holter, Øystein Gullvåg
University of Oslo
Based on new data on the impact of gender equality on interpersonal violence, the paper offers a critique of the gender-based violence view and presents an alternative view where gender inequality is central. This is connected to recent theory developments regarding gendering as an ontoformative (reality shaping) process, focusing on how gender inequality becomes manifest especially through sexual harassment and sex-related violence.

Critical Positive Masculinity
Lomas, Tim
University of East London
Although theorists like Connell (1995) have emphasised diversity in men and masculinities, there remains a tendency to present masculinity in singular terms as an assemblage of toxic traits, constructing men as ‘damaged and damage doing’ (Mac an Ghaill & Haywood, 2012). However, an emergent body of work suggests men are able to resist or define traditional norms to negotiate a more ‘positive’ construction of masculinity, e.g., conducive to health. Thus the present article makes the case for introducing a new perspective within the study of men and masculinities: Critical Positive Masculinity. Influenced by the field of positive psychology, this perspective draws together work showing the potential for men to find more constructive ways of doing masculinity, including a series of articles on men adopting new masculine practices through involvement with meditation. However, drawing on the Critical Studies on Men approach, the new perspective still seeks to problematize men and gendered power relations, as even ostensibly ‘positive’ forms of masculinity can have deleterious consequences for marginalised groups. Critical positive masculinity offers a fresh perspective that is neither fatalistically negative nor naively optimistic about the possibility for positive change in men.

The Portrayal of Elements Historically Associated with Masculine and Feminine Domains in Lad and Metrosexual Men’s Lifestyle Magazines
Ricciardelli, Rose
Memorial University of Newfoundland
Clow, Kimberley A.
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
Differing presentations of masculinity exist that appear to differentially embody elements historically associated with masculine and feminine domains. Metrosexuality, for instance, has been associated with more feminine characteristics and lifestyle choices (Simpson, 1994a) while laddist masculinity was presumed to be more traditionally masculine given its focus on bachelorhood and hedonistic consumption. The present research investigated representations of stereotypical or hyper-masculine (sports, strength, cars) and stereotypical or hyper-feminine (fashion, beauty, dieting) content in a metrosexual and laddist men’s lifestyle magazine. Qualitative and quantitative analyses suggest that the magazines differed in the amount of hyper-masculine material related to sports and strength, but not cars, with laddist magazines portraying this information more than metrosexual magazines. In terms of stereotypical or hyper-feminine material, both laddist and metrosexual magazines depicted fashion frequently, but the metrosexual magazines did portray this information significantly more often. The magazines did not differ in the frequency of portrayals of beauty or dieting; however they did differ in how they portrayed these topics. Implications for masculinities are discussed.

Writing Men: Recognising the sociological value of counter-hegemonic masculinities in American fiction
Ferry, Peter
Queen's University Belfast
This article sets out to stimulate discussion on the sociological value of fiction in the wider study of men and masculinities in society. Identifying masculinity as a major theme of the American literary tradition, this article engages in a case study analysis of canonical writers of contemporary American fiction, namely Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, and Bret Easton Ellis. Engaging with Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity to analyse critically the protagonists of these authors allows a range of issues to emerge - namely the impact of fatherhood, the influence of the male peer group, and the impact globalization of the performance of masculinity. Gendering our reading of fiction in this manner succeeds in illustrating that these authors are intent on not simply depicting masculinity as a social and historical construction but that they seek to challenge the established ideological image of hegemonic masculinity by writing counter-hegemonic narratives.

Los últimos estudios e investigaciones ponen en evidencia el importante papel que el personal docente desempeña desde el ámbito escolar a la hora de abordar y contribuir a la consecución de la equidad de género, para lo cual resultan determinantes sus propias percepciones sobre masculinidad y feminidad. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un trabajo de investigación que, en torno a esta cuestión, se ha realizado con alumnado universitario de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria del Centro Universitario La Salle-UAM, por su condición de futuros referentes en la socialización de la infancia así como en la construcción de su identidad de género, en el que se ha podido indagar acerca de tres cuestiones relevantes: el mantenimiento de determinadas concepciones hegemónicas acerca de la masculinidad, las valoraciones tanto positivas como negativas que de estas concepciones hacen tanto mujeres como hombres, y las vías y posibilidades para la superación de las posiciones masculinas hegemónicas que causan más rechazo tienen mucho que aportar.

Boys, masculinity and literacy: The influence of notions of masculinity on educational outcomes
Scholes, Laura
The University of Queensland
The homogenizing and binary categorization of boys and girls inpopular and political rhetoric continues in educational contexts. To explore differences in boys’ experience atschool a recent study examined the influence of disadvantage and relatednotions of masculinity on literacy outcomes.Specifically, this exploration included 297 surveys and 36 interviews withprimary aged students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. While therewas an overall tendency for more girls than boys to indicate higher readingachievement, higher reading frequency and higher levels of reading enjoymentthese differences were not as significant as expected. While many boys wereindeed doing well in literacy and positioned reading positively within theirgendered identity, of concern were some expressions of masculinity that wereinterpreted as problematic for many boys in very personal and potent ways. For these boys, socioeconomic status wasoften associated with constraining experiences that interplayed with powerfulconstructions of masculinity that impacted upon literacy experiences andoutcomes. Continued growth in socialinequity in many Western societies, including the Mediterranean,makes understanding the influence of socioeconomic status on boys’ literacyexperiences significant for addressing social change and transforming notionsof masculinity to include positive constructions that young boys can aspire to,and value.

Conformity to Masculine Norms and Intellectual Engagement
Marrs, Heath
Central Washington University
Ellensburg, WA
United States
Research on the relationship between masculinity and intellectual engagement may be helpful in exploring the current challenges of male students in academic settings. Although the traditional male role in Western societies has often included notions of winning, competitiveness, and achievement, there is a growing research literature that documents male struggles with achievement, particularly in academic, intellectual, and occupational domains (Morris, 2011; Rosin, 2010; Sax, 2008a, b). In this study, the relationships between conformity to masculine norms and intellectual engagement were explored in a sample of diverse men in the United States. It was predicted that men who more strongly conformed to masculine norms would demonstrate lower intellectual engagement. As predicted, conformity to masculine norms was significantly predictive of lower intellectual engagement on three of the five constructs measured (Openness to Experience, Intellectual Complexity, and Love of Learning). Conformity to masculine norms was not a significant predictor of Need for Cognition or Curiosity.

Networked Masculinities and Social Networking Sites: A Call for the Analysis of Men and Contemporary Digital Media
Light, Ben
Salford Universtiy
It is of course recognised that technology is gendered and is implicated in gender relations. However, it continues to be the case that men’s experiences with technology are underexplored and the situation is even more problematic where digital media is concerned. Over the past 30 years we have witnessed a dramatic rise in the pervasiveness of digital media across many parts of the world and as associated with wide ranging aspects of our lives. This rise has been fuelled over the last decade by the emergence of Web 2.0 and particularly Social Networking Sites (SNS). Given this context, I believe it is necessary for us to undertake more work to understand men’s engagements with digital media, the implications this might have for masculinities and the analysis of gender relations more generally. To begin to unpack this area, I engage theorizations of the properties of digital media networks and integrate this with the masculinity studies field. Using this framework, I suggest we need to consider the rise in what I call networked masculinities - those masculinities (co)produced and reproduced with digitally networked publics. Through this analysis I discuss themes related to digital mediators, relationships, play and leisure, work and commerce, and ethics. I conclude that as masculinities can be, and are being, complicated and given agency by advancing notions and practices of connectivity, mobility, classification and convergence, those engaged with masculinity studies and digital media have much to contribute.

Using Misperceptions of Masculinity among Young Fathers to Improve Health Behavior
Kellom, Gar
Winona State University
Hammel, Debra
Winona State University
Building upon previous research on social norms theory and masculinity theory, this article is an attempt to apply this research to an under-represented cohort of student fathers. The finding of a misperception of masculinity is consistent with a larger study of college men across years in school and at seven different colleges and universities. The original research can be found in the monograph entitled Forging the Male Spirit, edited by Merle Longwood et al. in 2012 with a brief synopsis of the Gender Role Conflict Survey created by James O’Neil. This article explains the opportunity this misperception presents to use the finding to create positive change in behavior in a cohort of young fathers that were studied. These student fathers are part of a larger group of participants in a grant funded program through the Minnesota Department of Health through the Office of Adolescent Health. The exciting implication of this finding is that the misperception of masculinity can be used to improve the health seeking behavior of student fathers for themselves and for their children.

Inner-City Rural: The Transmission of Problematic Black Male identities from Urban to Black Rural Communities in the United States
Oliver, William
Indiana University
This paper introduces the term inner-city rural to describe a conceptual framework that seeks to explain the transmission of urban and street-based alternative constructions of black manhood identities to majority black rural counties in the United States. The central theoretical argument advanced in this paper is that exposure to urban street culture as it is represented in some versions of gangsta rap and hip hop music, videos and culture is a major mechanism by which marginalized African American males residing in rural communities come to internalize and enact problematic urban male street-based masculine identities.

Disabled Masculinities: A Review and Suggestions for Further Research
Barrett, Timothy
Monash University
This article provides an overview of the existing sociological literature relating to disabled masculinities, a field of enquiry that has undergone substantial development over the past two decades. I contend that previous studies have insightfully uncovered the social forces that have established a “dilemma of disabled masculinity” within contemporary Western societies, as well as the complex, contextualised and multiple ways in which disabled men negotiate this dilemma. To foster the further development of the field, I suggest three potentially productive lines for future enquiry. Specifically, I support greater attention to the issue of comparative diversity between impairment categories, a consideration of the generative role that disability may have in relation to masculinity, and more sustained enquiry into how changing constructions of masculinity inflect the lives of disabled men.

Re-Thinking Aspiration and Hegemonic Masculinity in Transnational Context
Howson, Richard
University of Wollongong
This article offers a contribution to the on-going critical analysis of the concept hegemonic masculinity. However, not in a way that seeks the demise or supersession of the concept but rather to offer a theoretical development that brings into focus certain important and specific claims: (1) that masculinity is something men do yet, (2) hegemonic masculinity requires all men to position themselves in relation to it. In trying to build some connection between these two claims as well as, thinking through some of the key issues that have challenged hegemonic masculinity over the last two to three decades this article re-introduces and develops the concept of aspiration as one important way to articulate the contemporary importance of hegemonic masculinity in the field of masculinity theory. Further it offers a brief application of aspiration and hegemonic masculinity in the field of the transnational.

Dissens e.V. - Institut fuer Bildung und Forschung
In order to reach the main goal of the paper, the identification of the impact and effectiveness of strategies and measures which promote gender equality not only in connection to women but also men, an overview of institutionalised practices, men’s involvement in gender equality strategies like gender mainstreaming, as well as men’s participation in international and national networks, organisations and groups are presented. The identification of specific forms of institutionalised and non-institutionalised practices and politics is based on the theoretical model proposed by Michael Messner (2000) and concerns the situation in the European Union.

The Role of Hegemonic Masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea
Howson, Richard
University of Wollongong
Yecies, Brian
University of Wollongong
We argue that during the 1940s Hollywood films had an important role to play in the creation of a postwar South Korean society based on the new global U.S. hegemony. The connections between political and economic change in South Korea and socio-cultural factors have hitherto scarcely been explored and, in this context, we argue that one of the key socio-cultural mechanisms that supported and even drove social change in the immediate post-war period was the Korean film industry and its re-presentation of masculinity. The groundbreaking work of Antonio Gramsci on hegemony is drawn on - in particular, his understanding of the relationship between “commonsense” and “good sense” - as well as Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity. The character of Rick in the 1941 Hollywood classic Casablanca is used to illustrate the kind of hegemonic masculinity favoured by the U.S. Occupation authorities in moulding cultural and political attitudes in the new Korea.

When man Falls Provider. Masculinity, Unemployment and Psychological Distress in the Family. A Methodology for the Search of Affective normalization
Rodriguez del Pino, Juan Antonio
Un elemento que ha dotado a la masculinidad de parte de su carácterhegemónico tradicional, ha sido la representación del hombre como proveedor principal de su entorno más inmediato, lo que históricamente le ha legitimado en su rol como pater familias, con todo lo que ello conllevaba. Pero esta situación puede cambiar en hombres que, con la crisis económica, han perdido sus empleos y, por tanto, el sistema de dominación que se creía inmutable, muestra ciertas grietas. Esto ha implicado en algunos de ellos cierta desubicación con respecto a un entorno cambiante y que no logran controlar agudizando la sensación de “pérdida”. A través de una metodología usada de manera novedosa, los hombres se observan en perspectiva. Partiendo de su capacidad para conectar con la subjetividad que había sido cercenada, se reescriben desde un nuevo modelo de relación para con sí mismos y con sus entornos.

Typologies of Men’s Friendships: Constructing Masculinity through Them
Migliaccio, Todd
California University State, Sacramento
Male friendships are often identified as being instrumental, avoiding expressive intimacy within their friendships. Past research has focused too much on friendship being an outcome of being male or having masculine attitudes, limiting analysis of the social construction of friendships in relation to masculine performances. Focusing on the individual production of friendship limits consideration of the construction of different dyads within one social network. Open-ended interviews with twelve men about each of their close friendships focused analysis on the dyad and not the individual. From the study, it was found that men established four different typologies of friendships (non-active, closed active, open active, expressive). While each friendship dyad differed in form and intimacy, all were influenced by the social construction of masculinity in these men’s lives.

We Teach Too: What are the Lived Experiences and Pedagogical Practices of Gay Men of Color Teachers
Hayes, Cleveland
University of La Verne
Over the past decade, increased attention to the marginalization of queers of color across educational context in North America has forced urgent reevaluations of the legal, political, and pedagogical implications of exclusionary politics (Brockenbrough, 2012, 2013; McCready, 2013). The research done by Brockenbrough (2013) cites the absences of queer of color perspectives in the educational literature and more specifically for this research their perspectives on teaching and learning. An experience that requires the participants to cross-epistemological boundaries and examine their experiences within the intersections of race and gender and in some instances class; which will become evident in the narratives of Malcolm, Carlos and Victor. Following the work of Brockenbrough (2013), McCready (2013) and others this article centers the pedagogical practices of three gay men of color. It is my intent with this line of research to bring to the forefront the lived and pedagogical experiences of gay teachers of color.

The Affront of the Aspiration Agenda: White Working-Class Male Narratives of ‘Ordinariness’ in Neoliberal Times
Stahl, Garth
University of South Australia http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/staff/homepage.asp?Name=Garth.Stahl
This article draws on accounts of white working-class boys (age 14-16) from South London in order to explore how they reconstitute their learner-identities within the ‘raising aspirations’ rhetoric. The current dominant neoliberal discourse in education, which prioritises a view of aspiration that is competitive, qualification-focused, and economic, shapes the subjectivities of these young males though there exist nuanced strategies of resistance. In an era of high modernity where youth feel increasing risk, the identities of young people are subject to tremendous change where traditional class and gendered boundaries are being subverted, reimagined, and reconstituted. Focusing on academic engagement as an identity negotiation, this research critically considers where young men enact strategies to construct themselves as ‘having value’ in spaces of devaluing where they reconcile competing and contrasting conceptions of aspiration.

Masculinities in Cuba: Description and Analysis of a Case Study from a Gender Perspective
Formental Hernández, Soura
Centro de Salud Mental
Hernández Pita, Iyamira
Centro de Salud Mental
Fernández de Juan, Teresa
El Colegio de la Frontera Norte
This study aims to deepen our discussion about Cuban men´s current perception about hegemonic masculinity, based on an extensive literary review and a survey focusing on 125 males who attend a Mental Health Center in Havana. Using gender as a concept and category to unravel the relations between sexual difference and inequality, the authors present the results of their descriptive and transversal research, designed to address multiple cases, from a qualitative methodological perspective (QMP method) and compare them with other findings, especially from Latin America. The research techniques applied, expose how the patriarchal culture continues imposing a burden on the minds of many Cuban men, while they also exhibit the rise of a new generation which enjoys a less genitalist sexuality, willing to sharing their new outlook and beginning to manifest a liberating and positive distance from machismo.

Toward Complex and Inclusive Studies of Sex Scripts, College Students’ Sexual Behaviors, and Hookup Cultures on U.S. Campuses
Williams, Collin D.
University of Pennsylvania
Harper, Shaun
University of Pennsylvania
Much attention has been devoted in recent years to students “hooking up” on collegeand university campuses across the United States. Hookups broadly entail sexual behaviors that range from anal and vaginal intercourse to oral sex, masturbation, and other physically pleasurable activities. In this article, we synthesize the literature on college hookup cultures. Specifically, we use sexual scripting theory to analyze and critique existing peer-reviewed studies.Ultimately, we present five themes pertaining to the study of hookup phenomena at U.S. collegesand universities. This article concludes with several recommendations for making future hookup studies more inclusive of undergraduates from a range of racial/ethnic groups, sexual orientations, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds, and postsecondary institutional contexts, something previous scholars have largely neglected to do intheir research.

Phil’s Story. An Ethnographic Drama Relating one Man’s Experience of Australian Workplace Professional Age Discrimination
Brown, Colin Martin
Australian National University
Phil’s story is based on one respondent’s interview which is embedded within my autoethnographic PhD thesis on Australian workplace age-discrimination. In using ethnographic convention to amplify this real-life drama, the paper uses first-person voice to extract and highlight the damage that workplace age discrimination is doing to the older professional Australian man. The paper focuses on ‘Phil’, a 58 year old indigenous Australian, former high level Government employee whose high-flying executive career is traumatically cut short. The downward spiral of his life resulted in him becoming just another run-of-the-mill contract worker. This story relates Phil’s anguish, shock, and disbelief at the treatment he received when he turned 50 and was made excess to current work requirements. His story is compelling and his voice essential to bring cognizance to the narrative of this ever present real-life workplace tragedy that has the potential to affect all Australians and all world inhabitants.

"After all I’ve got the soul of a young girl“ - A Psychosocial Perspective on the Impact of Heteronormative Images of Masculinity on Sexual Risk Behavior of Gay Men
Langer, Phil
University of Frankfurt
The paper is aimed at contributing to an empirically grounded understanding of the psychosocial dynamics that underlie the relation between heteronormative images of masculinity, internalized heterosexism and health behavior of gay men in the global North. It is based on a qualitative interview study that focuses on the consequences of the internalization of dominant images of masculinity for the identity constructions of gay men and their HIV-related sexual risk behavior in Germany. In the paper it will be argued that 1) the tension between the authoritative image of masculinity that is determined by heteronormative discourses one the one hand and the gendered self-image that is shaped and threatened by connotations of a non-masculine homosexuality on the other constitutes a decisive issue of gay identity constructions, 2) a higher sexual risk behavior can be understood as a possible consequence of the internalization of masculine images and its impact on the self-esteem, if the self-image does not match the male ideal, and 3) this may include a paradoxical desire for the imagined masculinity that is experienced as violent with regard to one’s own psychodynamics. Finally, perspectives on gay masculinities that may transgress dominant heteronormative modes of subjectification are discussed.

Gloria Anzaldúa’s Seven Stages of Conocimiento in Redefining Latino Masculinity: José’s Story
Hurtado, Aida
University of California, Santa Barbara
Using a case study method, this article applies the Chicana feminist framework of Conocimiento as proposed by Gloria Anzaldúa to analyze the transformation of one individual as he readjusts to family life after imprisonment. José’s story is presented in detail and begins with his arrest, conviction and time in prison for selling drugs. After his release from prison to live with his family in Northern California, the narrative then shifts to illustrate the principles of Conocimiento used by Jose’s feminist sisters as a viable tool for transforming masculinities. According to the writings by Gloria Anzaldúa, the process of Conocimiento consists of seven stages that help individuals to reconsider and readjust their ideas, motivations, and beliefs, all in the service of moving forward in their lives. Conocimiento, in conjunction with an environment of caring broadly defined as community, family, and educators, can indeed offer valuable lessons in transforming Latino masculinities.

School Alienation, Patriarchal Gender-Role Orientations and the Lower Educational Success of Boys. A Mixed-method Study
Hadjar, Andreas
University of Luxembourg
This paper attempts to be an empirically backed contribution to the current ‘failing boys’ debate in regard to their lower educational success. The cross-sectional analysis focuses on two possible factors behind the lower educational success of boys in secondary school: school alienation and patriarchal gender-role orientations (as an expression of the ‘hegemonic masculinity’). School deviance on the behavioural level is considered as a main mediator between these factors and educational success. Furthermore, teaching style, peer attitudes and social origin are taken into account as important factors of educational success. Analyses are based on a Swiss mixed-method study (questionnaires among 872 eighth-graders, group discussions, class room observations). Results indicate that the gender gap in educational success is caused partly by boys being more alienated from school and preferring patriarchal gender-role orientations. The impacts of these factors on educational success are mediated by school deviance. An authoritative teaching style can largely reduce school alienation.

Acceptance of Homosexuality and Homophobia Associated with Suicidal Behavior among Homosexual Men
Quintanilla Montoya, Roque
Universidad de Guadalajara
Sánchez-Loyo, Luis Miguel
Correa-Márquez, Paola
Luna-Flores, Fernando
Los varones homosexuales muestran 2 a 3 veces más probabilidad de suicidarse en comparación con sus pares heterosexuales. El objetivo del trabajo fue describir y comprender el proceso vivencial de la homofobia, sus efectos en el proceso de aceptación/negación de la orientación homosexual, asociada con el comportamiento suicida en varones homosexuales; e identificar factores de riesgo y protectores de la conducta suicida. Fue un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo y comparativo, con 3 varones homosexuales con intento de suicidio y 4 varones homosexuales sin antecedentes suicidas, mediante entrevistas a profundidad sobre: orientación sexual, redes sociales, homofobia y conducta suicida. Se identificó que la homofobia en la familia es la que repercute de mayor manera en los recursos psíquicos del homosexual, sustentada en “ideales” de la masculinidad hegemónica; aunado al acoso escolar homófobo fueron elementos fundamentales para el desarrollo de la homofobia internalizada. Se identificaron los apoyos de familiares y pares como factores de protección para disminuir los efectos negativos de la homofobia y favorecer la identificación positiva y la autoaceptación de la orientación homosexual. En conclusión, la homofobia familiar y el rechazo familiar al homosexual ante la revelación de la orientación homosexual son aspectos asociados a la conducta suicida en varones homosexuales.

The Brazil-based Promundo organization originated in 1997 and developed Program H to engage young men in the fight for gender equality. Research on Promundo and similar gender-transformative programs demonstrate that this type of intervention can significantly increase beliefs in gender equality and improve sexual health outcomes—pregnancy, safe sex practices, sexual and intimate partner violence, and STI and HIV transmission. Because Promundo has yet to be implemented in the United States, the authors worked alongside a victim service agency in the southeast United States--who has ties to Promundo--to adapt Program H for implementation with fourth grade boys. The program was piloted with a group of ten boys who attend a predominantly low-income and African-American public school. These boys were also a part of a statewide program to assist children at risk of academic failure due to poor test scores. This paper presents results of a pilot study which utilized a pre-posttest design. Assessment measures were adapted from program evaluations of Men Can Stop Rape’s Men of Strength (MOST) Clubs and include self-reported attitudes and beliefs about gender and masculinity, emotional expression and violence. Additionally, researchers conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with program instructors. This paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of implementing such a program with this particular population and explains changes to the program that will take effect during the second program implementation in Spring of 2015.

Black Masculinity and Plantation Patriarchy in Margaret Walker’s Jubilee
Lobodziec, Agnieszka
Univerisity of Zielona Gora, Poland http://www.in.uz.zgora.pl
In Jubilee, Margaret Walker depicts plantation patriarchy as a racial and gendered context that coerces black men to redefine their masculine conceptualizations. The fictitious slave plantation represents the system which commodifies and divides black people “into those with skills [...], field hands, ‘breeding females,’ concubines, and children” (Nichols 1972, p. 10). This portrayal of slave plantation is congruent with historically documented circumstances, when “Much of [the slave] labor was gender- or age- specific” (Ash 2010, p. 20). As far as the position of black men is concerned, ascribed a subordinate status to that of white masters, overseers, and servants, both free and enslaved black men begin to imbibe patriarchal mindset and redefine their own masculine prowess. As Margaret Walker portrays, this response to oppressive plantation patriarchy effects multifarious black male postures, ranging from resisting and self-asserting warriors to humiliated and silenced victims.

Queering Catholic Fundamentalism: On Liking Theology in Masculinities Research
Burke, Kevin
University of Notre Dame
This article seeks to build on recent movement in the fields of religion and gender studies in order to analyze and critically reflect on “the relation, confrontation and intersection of gender and religion” (Korte, 2011, p. 2). Here the author works to investigate the possibility that emerges in new forms of analysis that marry theological interventions with masculinities studies as a way to newly attend to patriarchy and fundamentalism. Utilizing feminist Catholic theology, the work addresses unique and recent problems that have emerged in the Church in the face of a new era that appears both more progressive and that has engendered conservative backlash. Along the way the article addresses issues of gender and sexuality as they relate to the priesthood and Pope Francis’ recent assertions linking gender theory to ideological colonization and even nuclear armaments.

Crossing Gender Boundaries or Challenging Masculinities? Female Combatants in the Kenya Defence Forces’ (KDF) War against Al-Shabaab Militants
Ombati, Mokua
Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya
Few institutions have historically presented more defined gender boundaries than the military. This study examines gender and war through the lens of military combat roles. Military combat roles have traditionally relied on and manipulated ideas about masculinity and femininity. Women arrive in the army with different types of capital and bring with them a shared cultural ‘tool kit’ (womanhood). Following the military’s labour allocation process, they are assigned combat roles, which is at variance to their gendered character. Assignment in non-traditional feminine roles means crossing gender boundaries. Ethnographic studies of the Kenya Defence Forces operations in Somalia reveal the different gendered characteristics of the military roles as reflected in the women’s soldiery experiences. The encounter with military power and authority challenges the women soldiers to redefine their feminine capital, to interpret the military reality via a gendered lens and, therefore, to critically (re)examine the patriarchal order. Grounded on the twin theoretical frameworks of socio-cultural capitals and cultural scripts, and structured on a gender framing of women’s military roles, the study illustrates the complex and contradictory realities of women in the army. The study unpacks the relationship between masculinity and femininity, and, war and the military. It underpins the value of the female soldier as a figurative illustration of the complex interrelations between the gendered politics of masculinity and femininity. It considers what the acts, practices and performances constitutive of female soldiering reveal about particular modes of governance, regulation and politics that arise from the sacrifices of soldiers in combatant.

Sexual Commercialization and Masculine Rhetoric: Prostitution in Spain
Gómez, Agueda
Universidad de Vigo
Pérez, Sílvia
Universidad de Vigo
Matés, Rosa Mª Verdugo
Universidade de Santiago de Compostela
This article is focused on the study conducted on prostitution customers in Spain with the purpose of understanding why men pay for sex. In order to answer this question, the discourses of prostitution customers were analyzed through semi-structured in-depth interviews, group interviews and discussion groups. With the aim of coherently structuring the obtained narrations and classifying them in categories, the theoretical framework “frame analysis” was implemented. Four typologies of ideal customers were obtained: the misogynistic (hatred for women); consumerist (everything can be bought and sold); friend (affective though abusive); and critical (occasional and repentant). As far as we are concerned, the purchase of sex is not produced by the search for quality sex, fun and hedonistic enjoyment, but rather for a strategy to reinforce masculinity based on an identity focused on exhibition in front of a group of peers.

Ramírez, Juan Carlos
Gutiérrez de la Torre, Norma Celina
Cázares Hernández, Lizett Guadalupe
La construcción de una agenda de políticas públicas que promueva la igualdad y equidad entre los géneros desde la perspectiva de género de los hombres, implica el reconocimiento social de cierta problemática sociogenérica. El objetivo de esta comunicación es mostrar los resultados de la primera etapa de un proyecto más amplio, que es un insumo para la conformación de una agenda de políticas públicas construida por actores involucrados (investigación, servicios, instituciones gubernamentales) en diversos problemas vividos por los hombres como sujetos de género en México y que se considera son factibles de transformación mediante la implantación de políticas públicas.
Se presentan los resultados de una encuesta en la que se identificaron los principales temas-problema que tienen implicaciones en las políticas públicas, las instancias involucradas en su solución; las y los actores involucrados; alianzas y/o coaliciones establecidas y/o necesarias para impulsar la conformación de la agenda y la propuesta de políticas públicas.

Male Rape Myths: Understanding and Explaining Social Attitudes Surrounding Male Rape
Javaid, Aliraza
This paper provides a critical review of the literature surrounding male rape, aimed at exploring how male rape myths shape society’s responses and attitudes to male victims of rape and integrates the literature from a theory driven perspective. In doing so, this theoretical paper reveals information relating to the barriers to recognition of male rape. These barriers are male rape myths that prevent male rape victims from coming forward and seeking the support that they merit. There has been a lack of research on male rape myths, although some research has documented such myths to be present in practice. These myths could be harmful because they may influence societies’ opinions of male rape victims, so this could affect the treatment and responses toward such victims. To understand and explain such myths so some attempt can be made at eradicating them, this paper will explore common male rape myths that seem to be prevalent in Western society. This paper will examine male rape myths in the areas of media, incarcerated settings, and the wider community, focusing on England and Wales, UK. This is important to do to recognise which myths are harmful and are facilitating the under-reporting of male rape. This paper will help raise awareness of male rape myths and not only attempt to tackle them, but also encourage male rape victims to come forward to report and seek the help that they merit. It will also address the gaps in the literature and areas ripe for research, so further empirical research can be conducted on male rape, highlighting ideas for future research and providing guidance in areas most needed in research on male rape.

Being “Macho” and Play Rugby. A Study about Masculinities and Men’s Sociability in Dominant Sectors of La Plata
Branz, Juan Bautista
El problema central a discutir en este artículo es la construcción de masculinidades entre un grupo de hombres que practica rugby, como deporte asociado a un carácter distintivo y selectivo (emparentado con la posición de clase) en la ciudad de La Plata, y en Argentina. Desde un enfoque -fundamentalmente- etnográfico analizaremos las representaciones que un grupo de jugadores de rugby tiene sobre su propia práctica, sobre sus formas de ser y actuar como hombre. La hipótesis de este trabajo radica en que el rugby es un espacio de distinción moral, social y cultural en la ciudad de La Plata, y un lugar en donde se produce y reproduce un modelo masculino dominante, donde la exaltación de la virilidad es un atributo que se exhibe positivamente entre el grupo de hombres que intenta, todo el tiempo, mantener su hombría; es la garantía para sostener legados, vinculados al género y a la manera de establecer un espacio de sociabilidad distinto y distintivo. Fuerza, vigor, coraje y valentía articulan el imaginario de un verdadero hombre en el campo del rugby en Argentina.

The Chameleonisation of Masculinity: Jimmy’s Multiple Performances of a Working-Class Self.
Ward, Michael Rhys Morgan
Cardiff University
In this paper, drawing on ethnographic observations and using the case study of one working-class young man called Jimmy, I explore how multiple masculinities are displayed through a process of chameleonisation. Through outlining Jimmy’s transitions through post-compulsory education and his different social and cultural spaces, I illustrate the ways which he tries to conduct multiple performances of self. I show that in a variety of settings, with different actors and within different social interactions, Jimmy navigates between numerous conflicts in order to try and achieve both academically, with aspirations of processing into higher education and also as a successful athlete. These processes are simultaneously met with demands to achieve a socially valued form of masculinity that has been shaped by the former industrial heritage of the region. This paper argues that young working-class men are not locked into displaying just one performance of masculinity, but have the agency to switch between performances and to adopt multiple identities. However, this process which I term chameleonisation, is fraught with difficulties. This process illustrates how we must begin to think about young men having the ability to display multiple masculinities at various times, and are therefore not the barer of one all-encompassing masculinity that is always, and everywhere, the same. This process can be especially challenging for young working-class men who live in areas of economic change and want to be successful across different areas of their lives.

La violencia contra las mujeres en la pareja (denominada violencia de género en el marco jurídico español) es un fenómeno complejo y poliédrico que hasido explicado desde diferentes puntos de vista teóricos. En este trabajo, se toma como punto de partida para analizar esta violencia un modelo multicausal, denominado modelo piramidal, que entiende la masculinidad tradicional y sus condicionantes como una clave explicativa importante para la violencia contra las mujeres. En este contexto, se aportan datos sobre la escasa presencia de la noción de masculinidad en los programas de intervención para la rehabilitación de los maltratadores que se han venido aplicando en España y se reflexiona sobre la necesidad de incrementar el protagonismo de este elemento.

Natives, Subjects, Consumers: Notes on Continuities and Transformations in Indian Masculine Cultures
Srivastava, Sanjay
Jawaharlal Nehru Universit
This article explores recent histories of masculine cultures in India. The discussion proceeds through outlining the most significant sites of the making of masculinity discourses during the colonial, the immediate post-colonial as well as the contemporary period. The immediate present is explored through an investigation of the the media persona of India's current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Through constructing a narrative of Indian modernity that draws upon diverse contexts -- such as colonial discourses about natives, anti-colonial nationalism, and post-colonial discourses of economic planning, 'liberalization' and consumerism -- the article illustrates the multiple locations of masculinity politics. Further, the exploration of relationships between economic, political and social contexts also seeks to blur the boundaries between them, thereby initiating a methodological dialogue regarding the study of masculinities. The article also seeks to point out that while there are continuities between the (colonial) past and the (post-colonial) present, the manner in which the past is utilised for the purposes of the present relates to performances and contexts in the present. Finally, the article suggests there is no linear history of masculinity, rather that the uses of the past in the present allow us to understand the prolix and circular ways in which the present is constituted.

Resumen
Este artículo plantea una manera particular de aproximarnos a la afectividad masculina en el proceso del “enojo” del varón en el contexto de la violencia. En este recorrido se identifican mecanismos que provocan que la violencia de los varones permanezca de manera invariable. Pretendemos mostrar cómo ciertas emociones emergen como fuente importante de conocimiento interactivo; se propone analizarlas como elementos dinámicos en los intercambios entre sujetos en sus relaciones cotidianas, así como en la conformación de autonomía y en la toma de decisiones. Finalmente se discute de qué manera en los varones la dimensión afectiva puede participar en la construcción de lo que denominamos responsabilidad aproximativa, para hacer frente a la normativa masculina hegemónica y desactivar mecanismos de opresión.

Dialogic Leadership and New Alternative Masculinities: Emerging Synergies for Social Transformation
Redondo, Gisela
Leadership plays a relevant role in the improvement of organisations and its study has influenced the analysis of dynamics of social change in current societies. There is a trend to analyse leadership considering issues such as its distribution or transformative dimension. According to recent developments in this field, dialogic leadership implies the whole community in the process of creation, development and consolidation of leadership practices. However, less is known about the role of dialogic leadership in relation to men´s movements and masculinities, particularly in the field of the New Alternative Masculinities (NAM). This article presents the results of a qualitative case study developed in an adult school being part of the Learning Communities project. It illustrates existing synergies between dialogic leadership and the NAM movement. It is explored in which ways the school influence transformative processes beyond its organisation and contributes to make more visible the NAM movement. The paper shows evidence on how dialogic leadership contributes to create an environment in which emerging leadership practices of the community in relation to the NAM movement have flourished.

The Tricky ’True Object’: Bourdieu’s Masculine Domination and Historicity
Hadas, Miklos
Corvinus University of Budapest,
Institute of Sociology
Pierre Bourdieu’s Masculine Domination was published in English in 2001, three years after the appearance of the French version. In order to deconstruct in vivo the working of sociological paradigm-alchemy, a close reading of the Bourdieusian argument is offered. After summing up the main thesis of the book, Bourdieu’s statements will be intended to be questioned, according to which the school, the family, the state and the church would reproduce, in the long run, masculine domination. The paper will also seek to identify the methodological trick of the Bourdieusian vision on history, namely that, metaphorically speaking, he compares the streaming river to the riverside cliffs. It will be argued that when Bourdieu discusses ‘the constancy of habitus’, the ‘permanence in and through change’, or the ‘strength of the structure’, he extends his paradigm about the displacement of the social structure to the displacement of the men/women relationship. Hence, it will be suggested that, in opposition to Bourdieu’s thesis, masculine domination is not of universal validity but its structural weight and character have fundamentally changed in the long run, i.e. the masculine habitual centre gradually shifted from a social practice governed by the drives of physical violence to symbolic violence.

Some Methodological Reflections in Addressing Reproductive Experiences of Men through Public Policies
Figueroa Perea, Juan Guillermo
Centro de Estudios Demográficos, Urbanos y Ambientales
El objetivo del texto es analizar la forma en que ha sido considerado la población masculina en políticas públicas y programas de salud relacionados con los comportamientos reproductivos de la población en México. Se reconoce un contexto en el que las mujeres han sido identificadas como las protagonistas y sujetos de referencia sobre quienes se construyen intervenciones en ámbito de comportamientos reproductivos. El texto incluye una revisión de algunos programas y políticas públicas en México, para luego presentar algunas propuestas metodológicas a partir de dialogar con el género como concepto relacional. El interés es de orden epistemológico, por lo que interesa reflexionar sobre supuestos detrás de la lógica de las intervenciones gubernamentales en el ámbito de la reproducción y construir propuestas metodológicas que permitan una lectura relacional de mujeres y varones como sujetos de género, quienes potencialmente pueden reproducirse en parejas heterosexuales u homosexuales.

Parental Arrangements of Gay Men in Mexico City: Between a Denied Paternity and an Inadvertent Care Transformation
Laguna-Maqueda, Oscar Emilio
Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana- Xochimilco
Diversos fenómenos, resultado de las luchas feministas y de la liberación homosexual, son observables actualmente. Uno de ellos, son los arreglos parentales que configuran los padres gay, quienes con su mera existencia cuestionan la supuesta universalidad de la noción de “familia”. Los hombres homosexuales cuando acceden a la crianza y cuidado de infantes, ya sea de manera biológica, legal o social, no buscan reconfigurar la idea de familia ni crear prácticas de cuidado novedosas, pues lo que desean es configurar un entorno semejante a aquél en el que vivieron y crecieron; sin embargo el hecho de acceder a un arreglo del cual se les ha excluido e invisibilizado tiene implicaciones, pues trastoca los lineamientos de la heteronormatividad, además que sus estrategias para combatir la homofobia y disminuir los riesgos contra sus hijos impactan en el ejercicio del cuidado, por lo que realizan cambios inadvertidos en dicha práctica generizada.

Anticipating Fatherhood: “She is the One who is Pregnant”
Herrera, Florencia
Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias Sociales
Pavicevic, Yanko
This article seeks to understand how men that are going to become fathers for the first time in Chile, anticipate fatherhood. To achieve this purpose, 14 men that were close to having their first child were interviewed. Three topics are studied in depth: 1. The expectations surrounding fatherhood, 2. The masculine experiences of pregnancy and 3. The experiences surrounding antenatal health care. The men want to be involved and caring fathers, but still consider that their primary role is to provide. They are very conscious of the protagonism that pregnancy gives to their couples and see themselves as companions in the process. They feel their couples have a physical and direct relationship with their future child, while they can only have an indirect experience mediated by the female body and technology. They value the moments in which they have been able to ‘feel’ the baby (listen to its heartbeats, see it in ultrasounds, feel its movements). They believe it is natural that their couples are the center of attention during prenatal checkups, but some feel patronized by the healthcare professionals. The men perceive the process of waiting for the baby as profoundly differentiated by gender.

Mobile Masculinities: An Investigation of Networked Masculinities in Gay Dating Apps
Rodriguez, Nathian Shae
San Diego State University
Huemmer, Jennifer
Texas Tech University
Blumell, Lindsey Erin
Texas Tech University
This study argues that hegemonic masculinity and inclusive masculinity are conciliatory when applied to networked masculinities in homosexual spaces. It contends hegemonic masculinity is a macro-level process that informs micro-level processes of inclusive masculinity. Employing a textual analysis of 500 individual profiles in gay dating apps (Scruff, GROWLr, GuySpy and Hornet), findings indicate networked masculinities informed by hegemonic masculinity. A process of “mascing” also resulted from the data.

Masculinities and Fatherhood in the Adoption. A Place to Build
Salvo, Irene
Universidad Alberto Hurtado
En el campo de la adopción, la producción científica internacional y latinoamericana ha abordado mayoritariamente las experiencias de las madres adoptivas, de la familia adoptiva entendida como una unidad que engloba indistintamente a ambos integrantes de la pareja, o, considerando de forma más marginal, a las madres de origen y por último, a las madres lesbianas, apreciándose así una fuerte “feminización” del estudio de este tópico. La investigación aún no ha prestado mayor atención a los padres de origen y a las diversas configuraciones en la paternidad adoptiva. Como resultado de ello, se ha invisibilizado la singularidad, especificidad y heterogeneidad de los significados, prácticas y experiencias tanto de los padres de origen como de los padres adoptivos y subsisten una serie de estereotipos y prejuicios que limitan una inclusión más activa de los varones en las tareas de cuidado. Frente a este desconocimiento y bajo la premisa que estudiar a los varones y padres en la adopción representa un aporte para avanzar en políticas y prácticas de mayor corresponsabilidad y equidad de género, este artículo identifica, sistematiza y analiza parte de los hallazgos de los estudios sobre masculinidad, paternidad y adopción, realizando especial énfasis en algunos resultados y tópicos sobre este fenómeno, con el objetivo de visibilizar algunos desafíos presentes y perspectivas para la investigación y la intervención psicosocial.

Paternity and Parental Leave in Latin America and the Caribbean. Essential Tools to Promote Greater Participation of Fathers in the Care of Children
Lupica, Carina
En la mayoría de los países de América Latina y el Caribe se vuelve necesaria una reforma institucional que acompañe la incorporación de las mujeres al mercado de trabajo y promueva la mayor participación de los hombres en el cuidado de sus hijos e hijas. Para que ambos miembros de la pareja puedan trabajar de manera remunerada y, a su vez, ejercer las funciones parentales de manera compartida, se requiere extender a los trabajadores masculinos las garantías de cuidado que no están ligadas a la función exclusivamente reproductiva biológica de las mujeres: el embarazo, el parto y la lactancia. En ese sentido, las licencias de paternidad y los permisos parentales son herramientas útiles para avanzar, desde el mundo del trabajo, hacia la superación del viejo modelo “hombre proveedor y mujer dueña de casa”. Sin embargo, estas importantes mutaciones no serán suficientes por sí solas. También se requiere la implementación de acciones positivas que posibiliten el cambio cultural necesario para fomentar una nueva percepción de los trabajadores ante los compromisos familiares.

The Five Stages of Masculinity: A New Model for Understanding Masculinities
Gelfer, Joseph
The article uses the so-called “crisis of masculinity” as a jumping-off point for proposing a new model for understanding masculinities called the Five Stages of Masculinity. The five stages outlined in the article are: Stage 1, Unconscious Masculinity; Stage 2, Conscious Masculinity; Stage 3, Critical Masculinities; Stage 4, Multiple Masculinities; Stage 5, Beyond Masculinities. A content analysis of news and magazine articles is provided to give some initial indication as to the proportion of public conversations taking place at each stage. The article concludes by discussing the implications of the Five Stages of Masculinity for the study of men and masculinities, as well as some new thoughts on the nature of the crisis of masculinity via a mobilization of Giorgio Agamben’s concept of the “state of exception.”

Between Vietnam and 9/11: Arnold Schwarzenegger and a New Type of Masculinity in Twins and Kindergarten Cop
Prorokova, Tatiana
Philipps University of Marburg
In this article, I argue that the 1990s was a culturally pivotal period in the history of the U.S., trapped between the Vietnam War and 9/11. Therefore, realization and representation of such a phenomenon as “masculinity” in the 1990s differs considerably from its portrayal before the decade had started and after it was over. I demonstrate that with the release of Twins (1988) and Kindergarten Cop (1990), Arnold Schwarzenegger became a new hero of the 1990s, showcasing that masculinity of the 1990s was multifaceted. I contend that in the 1990s male masculinity was not defined by the notions of power, aggressiveness, and emotionless anymore, on the contrary, vulnerability, devotion, and care were the aspects that characterized it.

La violencia de género se constituye como una de las mayores problemáticas sociales y de salud pública de los últimos años. La literatura científica propone que esto se debe a una percepción de pérdida del poder por parte de los hombres sobre las mujeres. Situación que no hace más que aumentar el número de mujeres que son víctimas de violencia y peor aún mueren en manos de sus parejas o ex parejas. Ahora bien, ¿Cuáles son las percepciones de hombres respecto a la violencia de género? ¿Existen mecanismos de naturalización y justificación de la violencia de género en una relación de pareja por parte de los hombres? ¿Cómo se caracteriza la construcción de masculinidad en estos hombres? Este trabajo aborda estas interrogantes a partir estudio cuantitativo realizado en tres de las comunas con más alto número de denuncias por violencia de género en la región de la Araucanía: Puerto Saavedra, Chol-chol y Lumaco, en el año 2015. Los resultados indican que los hombres justifican la violencia por el uso de drogas, además percepciones, creencias y estereotipos presentes asociados a un modelo de masculinidad hegemónica (Kimmel, 2000; Conell 2005) y a un modelo tradicional en relaciones de pareja (Gómez, 2004).

Back in history, muscular and strong male body has always been used to promulgate masculinity. This idealized male figure was proliferated mainly for spreading the notion of male superiority in relation to power and to give a strong base to the social construction of masculinity. This study targets to disclose the perception about the attributes masculinities among the male students of Dhaka city regarding male beautification. It attempts to unveil young men’s perspectives regarding their masculinities and beauty. From history we can see men have always been assumed as the ambassador of roughness but in recent time the emergence of fashion-conscious men can be seen, who are slowly occupying a handsome position in the society. Concerning study attempts to bring out the way in which such changing trend of male beauty is perceived among the male students of Dhaka city. What could be the ideologies of these young men who are being involved with it? What is influencing them to be part of such arena which, to a great extent, is still considered as female domain? Is their perception about construction of masculinity is shifting from the so called idealized masculinity? The study tries to find out the answers.

The purpose of this paper is to learn about the scientific productivity and collaboration of authors who have published papers on gender in Spanish communication journals by paying special attention to the role played by men. The citation network was analysed in order to identify the researchers network and the participation of men therein. The hypotesis put forward is that men have a secondary role in scientific communities that research gender in the communication field. Methodologies from the analysis of social network were applied. The information extracted was analysed using Ucinet software. It was confirmed that men have a marginal role in the network and that women tend to cite other women in their publications

They didn’t Give me Kisses. Chilhood and Education of Masculinity in the Spanish Postwar Period
Sonlleva Velasco, Miriam
Torrego Egido, Luis Mariano
Desde finales de la década de 1930, España fue sometida a una férrea distinción de sexos. La Dictadura franquista creó dos moldes: uno para el hombre y otro para la mujer. La educación se convirtió en el alfarero que, a través de sus enseñanzas, fue dando forma a aquellos modelos de género. La conversión del escolar en hombre o mujer en función de su sexo y la asunción de los roles, estereotipos y significados que suponía esa apropiación era el objetivo de la educación en aquellos años. Son muchos los estudios que profundizan sobre cómo las niñas de la posguerra fueron convertidas en mujeres abnegadas gracias a las influencias educativas que recibieron, pero apenas existen investigaciones que traten de problematizar sobre el papel que jugó la escuela en la reproducción del modelo de masculinidad promovido por el Régimen. El trabajo que presentamos parte de la revisión de la literatura existente sobre masculinidad en el franquismo para adentrarse en el conocimiento de la educación masculina de aquellos años. Los recuerdos de infancia de dos niños de la posguerra y las memorias de sus vivencias nos permitirán identificar y valorar el modelo de masculinidad en el que fueron educados.

Masculinities and Emotional Deficit: Linkages between Masculine Gender Pattern and Lack of Emotional Skills in Men who Mistreat Women in Intimacy
Verdú Delgado, Ana Dolores

This paper explores violence against women in the context of partner relationships, through testimonies of professionals from Social Services in five towns in the province of Alicante (Spain), and also of the psychologists who participate in the coordination and implementation of two intervention programs for inmate aggressors in Valencia and Alicante (Spain). Our analysis focuses on the linkages between gender and certain emotional deficits in men who mistreat women in intimacy. Among these deficits, we have stressed: lack of sense of responsibility for one’s own actions, lack of empathy, cognitive distortions related to a sexist system of values, convergence of violence as a strategy and lack of personal abilities, troubled view of the world and of the relationships with others, and emotional constriction. We suggest that the non-development of basic emotional abilities by these men, while connected with their gender socialization, requires particular attention for the purpose of treatment and prevention of this type of violence. Regarding relationships with gender-based violence, other relevant issues are raised, such as instrumentalization of women and dependence.

Analysing Masculinity from the Key Theoretical Lenses and Searching for Linkages with Violence against Women

In recent years, masculinity has become an imperative and influential academic discourse in the domain of gender studies. Despite having been explained and theorised from a number of perspectives, it lacks overall clarity and vary widely across different social and cultural contexts. Keeping that perspective in mind, this study drawing a rigorous review of the literature and reflexive analysis has synthesized prominent and pertinent theoretical issues concerning masculinity with the objective of having a succinct as well as methodical understanding of masculinity. This study also aims at developing the linkage between masculinity and violence against women. Despite being viewed as a cause of violence against women; theoretical notions of masculinity and its relation with violence against women remain largely understudied. Overall, the findings of the study confirm that masculinity as a concept is expressed through certain socially accepted ideologies and practices and there are at least three major theoretical developments concerning masculinity. When applied, each of these theories can individually stand as a reason for violence against women. The nexus between masculinity and violence against women is very proximate, and masculinity appears to be a very dominating force for perpetuating violence against women. Nonetheless, further wider empirical studies on masculinity and its relation to violence against women can draw new insights on the issues and enrich the gender studies discipline.

The analysis of masculinity has been a topic of growing interest in recent decades. Its study has incorporated a wide and diverse range of research areas and themes, including the representation of gender relations and identities on the Internet. Specifically, this article concerns the research area related to online dating websites and aims to compare the principal current tendencies related to identity -as provided by research on masculinity- with the way that men present themselves on two Spanish dating websites: Meetic.es and AdoptaUnTio.es. These types of virtual spaces have specific characteristics that facilitate the analysis of the masculine ideal among their users; or at least the characteristics that these men consider attractive to women. This research was carried out through a qualitative analysis supported by Atlas-ti. The principal results highlight the presence of traces of the so called egalitarian masculinity within predominant forms of traditional masculinity, characterized by a minimal process of reflection and introspection on the part of users of these websites.

Masculinity and Rhythmic Gymnastics. An Exploration on the Transgression of Gender Order in Sport
Piedra, Joaquín
Universidad de Sevilla
Patriarchal dominance in our Western society has oppressed not only women but it has also isolated many men who did not comply with hegemonic masculinity patterns. The aim of this study is to know and analyse the experiences of a group of boys who practise rhythmic gymnastics, traditionally linked to the feminine reality. Within this interpretative paradigm, eight interviews has been done to gymnasts (8-19 years old), who practise rhythmic gymnastics in a competitive or amateur level. The boys express the familiar support that they have had when deciding to practise a traditionally feminine sport. However, many gymnasts have been insulted or mocked by other boys. Therefore, it is important to work with families in order to eliminate stereotypes and prejudices in this masculine discipline in the future. Similarly, rhythmic gymnastics must be promoted among boys, since a higher presence of boys in clubs would ease their reception among girls.

Masculinities and Emotions as Sociocultural Constructions: A Bibliometric Review
Ramírez Rodríguez, Juan Carlos
Gómez González, María del Pilar
Gutiérrez de la Torre, Norma Celina
Sucilla Rodríguez, Marcela Viridiana
Se presenta el resultado de una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la relación entre masculinidades y emociones, entendidas ambas como construcciones sociales que responden a contextos particulares. El objetivo principal es mostrar una faceta de la producción científica considerando algunos parámetros propuestos por los estudios bibliométricos. El acopio de información se basó en la definición de palabras clave y criterios de búsqueda específicos de acuerdo con una amplia variedad de bancos de información de documentos de texto completo. Los resultados de la sistematización muestran un muy lento crecimiento de estos estudios a partir del año 2000. Más de la mitad de los estudios se han realizado en sólo dos países. Existe una predominancia de acercamientos cualitativos que parten de planteamientos teóricos diversos como la etnografía, la teoría fundamentada y el construccionismo social. A partir de los temas tratados en cada uno de los estudios se elaboró una categorización que muestra la amplitud e implicaciones que las emociones tienen en la configuración de las masculinidades.
ABSTRACT
It was conducted a literature review on the relationship between masculinities and emotions, both understood as social constructs that respond to particular contexts. The principal aim is to describe the scientific production considering some parameters proposed by bibliometric studies. A comprehensive search of articles based on the definition of specific keywords and criteria according to a wide variety of databases of full text documents. The results of the systematization review show a very slow growth of these studies since the year 2000. More than a half of the studies were carried out in only two countries. There is a predominance of qualitative approach, particularly theoretical methods, such as ethnography, grounded theory and social constructionism. From the topics discussed in each of the studies, we propose a categorization to describe them and discuss implications of the emotions in the configuration of masculinities.

Who is a Real Man? The Gender of Trumpism
Pascoe, CJ
The rise of Trumpism exemplifies a contest over masculinity, over who qualifies as a “real man.” This contest being waged not only by some obvious actors – President Trump, his supporters and representatives; it is a contest also waged by those who oppose the current administration and are perhaps actively working against the perpetuation of gender inequality. The themes deployed by Trumpists and anti-Trumpists alike address a core component of masculinity in the global west – dominance. Through sexualized processes of confirmation and repudiation multiple actors in this political and social moment draw on and deploy understandings of normative masculinity as dominance – dominance over women and dominance over other, less masculine, men. Both the Trumpist and anti-Trumpist movements exemplify similar discourses of masculinized dominance in which social actors claim masculinity through discourses and symbols of “compulsive heterosexuality” and divest others of it through the emasculating practices of a “fag discourse.” The story of Trumpism and movements against it is an example of the tenacity of inequality in gendered discourses.

This article analyzes the male caregiving characters Driss in Intouchables (2011), Craig in Still Mine (2012) and David in Nebraska (2013) in terms of hegemonic masculinity and its variations (Connell 1990; Connell and Messerschmidt 2005). Caregiving is a complex social situation normally assumed within kinship relationships, and traditionally attributed to women. We briefly review feminist analysis of caregiving since the 1970s (Fine and Glendinning 2005), and use critical studies on men and masculinities to show that the uptaking of caring tasks by men would and is contributing to equality between women and men (Elliott 2015).
We have looked at the portrayal of the male caregivers in these films, and if and how they challenge hegemonic masculinity in terms of positive experiences. Our findings show that despite the tension men experience between giving in to and challenging patriarchal privilege of a care-free life, strategies such as humour, complicity, outdoor action and a general concern for the dignity of the care-receiver can be identified as some of these features of (imagined) caring masculinities and open new spaces for defining care as a gender neutral activity.

Artistic Strategies in the Face of the Questioning of Hegemonic Masculinity in Western Society: From the crisis at the end of 20th Century to its Resurgence Today

This article sets out a study about the capacity of the artistic discourse to question the representation of concepts that support traditional hegemonic masculinity in occidental society and its mechanisms of reproduction, from the crisis of the masculinities of the 90s to the present, with the appearance of new emerging hegemonic masculinities. If at the end of the 20th century we witnessed cultural transformations that transgressed the normative ideal of Occidental masculinity, making possible the proliferation of new Masculinities, the sociocultural changes that occurred in the first decades of the 21stcentury have ended up impacting on the values underlying the dominant masculinity, provoking a new resurgence and strengthening of conservative masculinities models. For this purpose, based on the contributions of those of the Studies of Masculinity, we developed a critical analysis of the contemporary artistic strategies that, both at the end of the XX century and at present, have intervened in the construction processes of normative masculinity, altering their representation codes, visibilizing proposals of new peripheral masculinities and favouring alternative models against not hegemonic masculinities and more plural, inclusive and egalitarian.

El presente artículo versa sobre los grupos ciberactivistas masculinistas en Argentina, analizados desde el cruce entre estudios de Género y de Internet. El objetivo es identificar, visibilizar y (de) construir los argumentos que sostienen las prácticas online de dos grupos hétero-hegemónicos con presencia en la red a nivel local: ‘Varones Unidos’ y ‘Machos Alfa’. Para ello, se utilizó una metodología cualitativa basada tanto en la observación no participante de los espacios públicos virtuales, como el análisis discursivo de sus post en sitios de redes sociales. Como resultado, en la base de sus argumentaciones, identificamos la recurrencia a tres elementos vinculados a tópicos de discusión del feminismo: la disforia de género, el síndrome de alienación parental y la defensa del modelo nuclear de familia. Sostenemos que las acciones de estos grupos se orientan tanto a deslegitimar las reivindicaciones feministas, cuanto a reaccionar frente al avance de los derechos de sexuales y de género. Reflexionamos sobre la reprivatización de estos derechos y la reproducción del sistema hétero-patriarcal capitalista dominante.

Male Directed Sexual Violence in Conflict: A Challenge for Gender Studies
O'Mochain, Robert
Ritsumeikan University
In recent years, extensive empirical data has indicated that acts of severe sexual assault are being perpetrated against large numbers of men in many areas of conflict around the world. In spite of such data, recognition of this problem within gender studies remains limited. This is due to many reasons including the opposition of a variety of feminism that is reluctant to acknowledge male victimhood. This paper argues that feminist reservations about a focus on male-directed sexual violence in conflict are unfounded, especially as adherence to dichotomous gender models of “male equals perpetrator/female equals victim” ignores the comparable suffering of male survivors. A feminist analysis is enriched and complemented by a focus on male survivors and on the gendered power relations that operate among men.

Masculinities: Tracing the Trajectories of Gender Performance in War Poetry
Haq, Inam Ul
University of Management & Technology, Lahore.
Rashid, Uzma
University of Management & Technology, Lahore.
This paper critically examines the war songs and poems of men who fought in the post 9/11 Afghanistan war. The study locates the analysis within the socio-cultural influences that left an impact on the ‘manly’ soldiers, allowing a 'micro mapping' of masculinity to be revealed in these men’s writings. Using thematic analysis techniques, fifty war songs and poemsfrom the years 2007 and 2008 are analyzed through the lens of masculinity and its performance. The critical investigation of the war songs and poems found that the performative dimension of masculinities in war spread around the themes of youth warriors; weapons; arms and war machinery; state of politics and need for an Islamic government; the motif of red color; and glorification of death. The religion Islam, their homeland Afghanistan and its traditional culture constantly act as a fuel to evoke overpowering emotions for the soldiers and their passion for fighting. It is furthermore found that the locally constructed masculinities informed the context ofthe Afghanistan War. This has implications for the way we understand masculinities especially in war poetry. As the paper demonstrates, the multiple ways in which the notion of masculinity is manifested in war poems point to the need to break free from the stereotypical understandings of warriors from conservative religious backgrounds.

This article explores the possibility that clients of prostitution could help victims of trafficking. In Spain, prostitution is not prohibited and the men who pay for sex are the first people who make contact with victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation. Ninety-seven interviews concerning the possible detection and reporting by clients of trafficking for prostitution were analysed, (48 of them with key informants “NGO members, prosecutors and police officers “17 interviews with clients of prostitution and 22 with women who were victims of sex trafficking). The findings presented here show two types of clients, Personalisers and Thingers, with the former being the most likely to collaborate in the detection and rescue of victims of trafficking. However greater awareness in clients of prostitution is needed to enable them to collaborate.

Masculinity in Secondary Public Schools at San Luis de Potosí, México
Solís Domínguez, Daniel Daniel
Martínez Lozano, Consuelo Patricia
El artículo ofrece una respuesta a la pregunta ¿Cómo estudiantes de escuelas secundarias públicas situadas en la ciudad de San Luis Potosí, México, perciben y construyen su masculinidad? La institución escolar pública, de acuerdo al perfil político del Estado Mexicano, implementa mecanismos mediante los cuales promueve relaciones de género y la construcción de un tipo de masculinidad hegemónica, es decir, patriarcal, consonante con los valores del modelo cívico neoliberal. De acuerdo a ello, analizamos el espacio institucional escolar y curricular, y las prácticas de los y las estudiantes, que aluden a la conformación y percepción de la masculinidad en tres procesos: a) las relaciones generacionales; b) las prácticas corporales; c) las percepciones de la homosexualidad. Por ser relevante en los discursos de los y las estudiantes, se examina también la relación que la escuela mantiene con el espacio familiar. Parte del análisis se sustenta en los discursos de los y las estudiantes recuperados a través de entrevistas grupales. Una respuesta, como conclusión, a la pregunta formulada, es que los y las estudiantes, a partir de su ámbito de reflexividad y situación, resignifican y crean nuevas prácticas que cuestionan y a veces subvierten, lo hegemónicamente masculino promovido por la institución escolar.

Quantum Masculinities: Doing Gender with Max Tegmark’s Mathematical Universe Hypothesis
Gelfer, Joseph
Université Catholique de l'Ouest
Organ, Joseph
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
In his book Our Mathematical Universe, Max Tegmark proposes a way of viewing “reality” as a multiverse of parallel universes governed by mathematics. In this article we take a few of Tegmark’s more accessible ideas and combine them with the study of masculinities to form “quantum masculinities.” Specifically, we use Tegmark’s presentation of the multiverse and the quantum state of superposition as a thinking tool for imagining not just multiple masculinities but infinite and contradictory masculinities. We then mobilize this newly proposed concept of quantum masculinities in two contexts. First, we put quantum masculinities in dialogue with Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity to question to what degree gender performance requires an observer. Second, we explore how far quantum masculinities are reconcilable with The Five Stages of Masculinity. We conclude with some discussion about the categories of “I” and “we” in imagining the self, as well as how the study of masculinities might evolve.

Bidirectional Violence among Male and Female University Students: Comparison of Observations and Results between Two Countries
Fernández de Juan, Teresa
El Colegio de la Frontera Norte
Florez Madan, Lourdes
Universidad de la Tercera Edad
This paper presents the results of a research project that included the application of a survey in 597 university students in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and Tijuana, México, whose central aim was to examine the degree of violence in intimate couples, including that of men towards women and women against men, in different countries. It also explores the level of knowledge and analyzes the degree of awareness that the samples have about existing abuse. The results show similarity in the exercise of violence by both sexes; aspects of hegemonic masculinity that still permeates both, and the need for studies that have a real impact on education against this problem. This, irrespectively of age and socio-economic stratum to which both sexes belong.

Production of Gender: A Study on Performativity in Female-To-Male Transsexuals
Priya, Tanu
National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Panniko, Dhishna
Gender identity is critical to every individual; it is self-defined and yet affected by culture and society at large. Gender identities are formed through public and private spaces. Of the two traditions of thinking (essentialist and constructionist) about sex and gender, constructionist formulations are based on performance theory. It believes that sex and gender are viewed as not residing in the individual but are found in “those interactions that are socially constructed as gendered as opposed to essentialist tradition. Within performative theory, gender is a process rather than something naturally possessed. This study explores the process of formation of gender or social role in female-to-male (FTM) transsexual. It will do so by exploring the factors that add to the formation of a gender role as seen through sartorial style, mannerisms, body language, and other aspects that influence one’s presentation of self. It includes the process of construction of FTM transsexual’s corporeality through performative attributes in order to approximate masculinity and come in accord with the social role of a man. The themes that are discussed in the analysis emerged after a careful reading of FTM autobiographical narratives. The instances are extracted from FTM autobiographical narratives; Becoming a Visible Man, The Testosterone Files, Both Sides now and the publication of these narratives range from 2005-2006.

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0382-0640
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar la diversidad afectivo-sexual en el programa First Dates y el tipo de representación que se muestra de los participantes LGBT. La metodología utilizada fue el análisis de contenido aplicado a 28 programas de la tercera temporada, seleccionando una muestra final de 260 participantes (n = 260). Los resultados arrojan que existe un alto porcentaje de participantes LGBT (en comparación con los datos demográficos), aunque su representación no es uniforme: el lesbianismo, la bisexualidad o la transexualidad escasean y los jóvenes son el segmento poblacional con más individuos LGBT en el programa. Por otro lado, España es el origen geográfico de la mayoría de concursantes, siendo el lugar de residencia del grueso de participantes LGBT las comunidades de Madrid, Cataluña y Andalucía. La ocupación profesional también resultó estar estadísticamente relacionada con la orientación sexual, mientras que la concesión de una segunda cita o el origen geográfico, no.

Brand Communication on Instagram, a Gender Issue? The Role of the Fashion Influencer

Gónzález Fernández, Cristina
Los jóvenes han encontrado en las redes sociales el espacio perfecto para informar y ser informados. Sin embargo, solo unos pocos tienen la capacidad de influir en las decisiones de compra, estilo de vida o preferencias del resto. Los denominados influenciadores sociales han entrado a formar parte activa de la comunicación de marca, especialmente de las dedicadas a la moda. Esta investigación pone el foco de atención en las estrategias, recursos y llamadas a la participación utilizadas por los principales prescriptores de moda españoles en su comunicación a través de Instagram. La incorporación progresiva de hombres a este sector demanda identificar si las actitudes y formas de conectar –generar engagement- varían o no respecto al género del autor y el tipo de valores que proyecta. A través del análisis de contenido se realiza un seguimiento de la actividad comunicativa de los 13 perfiles más destacados en 2017. Los resultados evidencian una utilización muy pareja de técnicas de reclamo, fundamentalmente promocionales; un dudoso cumplimiento de la normativa española en materia de publicidad -que obliga a los autores a señalar de forma explícita todo mensaje que promocione algún producto o servicio procedente de una relación contractual-; y el empleo de la imagen para construir vidas idílicas a partir de escenas cotidianas.

The research in question is based on the gender schema theory by Sandra Bem. The purpose of the research is to study male narrative features in the context of the norms of male socialization. The aim of the research under consideration is a comparative analysis of male and female autobiographies features, which are not confined to male and female speech characteristics and reflect revision of gender socialization norms by the subject. With the help of biographical interview method autobiographies of women aged 31 to 72 (N= 34) and men aged from 23 to 69 (N= 36) living in provincial Russian towns were transcribed and contrasted. The autobiographies underwent categorial analysis procedure conducted by experts; the obtained categorial matrices were processed with the use of mathematical methods of statistics. Considerable attention was given to men’s life stories during the process of analysis. Quantitative data analysis allowed to reconstruct the structure of men’s and women’s autobiographies, which reflected gender socialization norms. The obtained algorithm, being geared towards the search for gender markers in the autobiographies, identified gender-specific markers in men’s texts whereas the female ones were retrieved owing to non-specific categories. This allowed to conclude that the modern Russian male socialization practices are more traditional. According to the results of the research, the categorial structure of autobiographical texts in men and in women is similar in key events and specific to each gender group at the same time. As far as gender normativity is concerned, male stories are more frequent to contain the gender norms abidance markers. Female stories are more individualized and fall into different scenarios (gender-standardized and non-standard).

This study was carried out in three Iberian-American countries, Colombia, Spain and Venezuela, to identify the stereotypes of love and gender professed among youth and compare them to those they prefer in television fiction series, i.e., those able to influence their identities and values. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the study involved a survey of 485 first-year university students, and a qualitative analysis of the media representations preferred by them. The results showed a preference for "amor ludens", based on enjoyment and the present moment, and a gap between the cognitive and emotional spheres of some youth who consider themselves distant from stereotypical, heteronormative and patriarchal models, but who choose media representations that match these models and the traditional gender portrayals.

The Affirmative “Yes”. Sexual Offense Based on Consent
Vidu Afloarei, Ana
University of Deusto
Tomás Martínez, Gema
University of Deusto
The collective rape case that occurred in Spain during a 2016 famous festival placed the trial against its five aggressors on an unprecedented media and social scale in Spain. The court that ruled for sexual abuse and not for rape sparked a huge and prompt social rejection of the current legislation. To overcome revictimization and give voice to survivors, the consideration of consent has been raised. This new paradigm has deeply spread in society and social networks to the point that the Spanish government has expressed its interest in modifying the Criminal Code to base sexual crimes on consent. In our duty to provide scientific knowledge for this issue, this article frames the debate on sexual harassment and focuses on the crime against sexual freedom and the context under which consent can neither be asked for nor conceived. This article analyzes the aggravating crime factors while basing consent on the intention of the offender. Starting from international approaches, this article emphasizes the current social opportunity needed to create awareness and transform laws with the aim of legislating on affirmative “yes”. This approach contributes to the challenge of overcoming gender violence and to the study of masculinities and their influence on social transformation.

El presente artículo busca comprender la dinámica de la violencia doméstica desde tres ángulos: las diferentes formas de expresión sociocultural de la masculinidad, la identidad y las relaciones de poder. En los dos primeros se realiza un acercamiento a las masculinidades en tanto construcción supeditada a la cultura, su relación con el proceso constitutivo de las identidades masculinas y con el ejercicio de la violencia contra la pareja como mecanismo de cohesión. El tercero se apoya en las relaciones de poder y dominación expuestas por Bourdieu (2000), en diálogo con la propuesta explicativa de Ramírez (2005) sobre las relaciones de poder, para finalmente realizar una crítica al abordaje de la diada víctima / victimario desde los cambios en las relaciones de género, donde el papel de hombres y mujeres cobra nuevos matices. A partir del análisis de dichos componentes, se reflexiona sobre el fenómeno de la violencia íntima como parte de un proceso relacional inmerso en el proceso de globalización, en el que ambos miembros de la pareja son susceptibles de trascender el “destino social” aportando a sus prácticas genéricas nuevos significados que posibiliten contribuir a su superación.

Being a Father: A Broken Masculinity or a Better One? An Autoethnography from a First-time Father Perspective
González-Calvo, Gustavo
The current neoliberal society is built upon a patriarchal system in which new types of masculinities have a difficult time thriving. In this paper, I draw upon my own experiences as a Spanish neophyte father and how it shifts away from models of hegemonic masculinity. In doing so, I am forming a new model of masculinity to explore neoliberal discourses and how these determine my emotions, feelings and personal identity. Methodologically, I make use of a critical lens and an autoethnographic approach, interlinking personal and social aspects. In the results, I reflect upon a normal day in my life as a father and my relationship with my son, and the way in which it is affected by the hegemonic masculinity. The text is presented as an opportunity to rethink the importance of changing patriarchal prejudices and to deepen the knowledge of the role that masculinity plays in the paternal experience.

This paper reports on the construction of masculinities in the narratives of 11 motorcyclists in Valledupar – Colombia. The aim was to establish the ways masculinities are expressed and recreated by motorcycle riders and the importance of motorcycles in these expressions. To do this, semistructured interviews were conducted to search for the evolution of their personal stories as men and on their relationship with motorcycles. We found that their masculinities are currently “in transit”: they vary from hegemonic manifestations to peripheral masculine ways of expression. Evidence of these transits can be grouped around four emerging categories: risk behavior, amusement settings, sexual expression and roles in public and private settings. Results show that, in some of these categories, the hegemonic patriarchal masculine logic prevails, especially through risky behaviors and motorcycle riding. However, other disruptive ways of expressing masculinities were found, motivated by the social transformations in equality policies, changes in interpersonal relationships and the participants’ own experiences. Supporting the transition process of masculinities is a large responsibility in social interventions seeking for a more equitable and fair society.

La participación de los hombres en el movimiento feminista y la lucha solidaria con las víctimas de esta ha sido reiteradamente cuestionada por parte de ambos sexos, así como sus contribuciones y su solidaridad con las mujeres. A pesar de ese cuestionamiento, durante toda la historia ha habito hombres que se han posicionado contra el sexismo y la violencia de género, a favor de unas relaciones afectivas o afectivo-sexuales o sexuales, totalmente libres de violencia. Este artículo desarrolla partiendo de las bases científicas de los y las principales contribuciones feministas referentes a las nuevas masculinidades, la auto narrativa de la superación de un caso de acoso sexual gracias a la interacción e intervención masculina en apoyo y solidaridad a las víctimas. El caso concreto que se ubica en el ámbito universitario constituye un referente de actuación para los hombres que se posicionan al lado de las mujeres en la lucha contra la violencia de género.

Most people believe in a statement that ‘All men are same’, even most men have taken this thing for granted that at the end they are going to be entitled to the same statement. So most of them hardly try to question the basis of the same. A few men engaged in humanities or social sciences are aware of things otherwise most of the men merely step in this tangled zone of masculinity-femininity or the bigger picture as gender. It has been taken for granted that gender studies mean women studies, homosexuality is not even landed yet, there are no such concepts like masculinity/femininity/gender-inequality etc. Without questioning or inquiring the system, blindly believing later following whatever one has been asking to perform is the current state of role-performance of the society. Forget about gender equality. Still, men are not aware of how their deeds disadvantage their female counterparts. The paper investigates the ways in which sex-roles were assigned/imposed, implied and performed and these sex-roles/stereotypes lead to identity assertion, conflict, violence etc. that results into disadvantaging women from their fundamental rights.

“To be a Man is not Easy”: Everyday Economic Marginality and Configurations of Masculinity among Rural Ghanaian Youth
Dery, Isaac
University of South African and South African Medical Research Council
How might an African based knowledge critically cast doubt upon globally hegemonic notions and traditions in understanding and theorizing men and masculinities? This essay examines this question through a critical reading of what it may mean to be ‘an emerging adult man’. The essay privileged a critical understanding of how poverty, poor crop yields, and climate volatility shape constructions of ‘emergent adulthood’. Drawing on interviews with men from northwestern Ghana, findings suggest that emerging adult men are committed to their cultural obligations as heteronormative breadwinners, yet ‘emergent adulthood’ is complicated by status insecurity, vulnerabilities, and powerlessness. To negotiate emergent adulthood, informants combine migrating to Techiman and joining ‘boys boys’ to achieve social respect and recognition. To understand the meanings of emergent adulthood, I argue for analytical sophistication on multiple issues and daily struggles that encapsulate rural life.

Homophobia and Sexual Orientation in Federated Athletes in Catalonia: Immersed in Heteronormativity Legacy
García-Orriols, Jordi
Flix, Xavier Torrebadella
http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1922-6785
La necesidad de romper con la discriminación hacia la diversidad sexual es cada vez mayor, y por ello, se cuestionan, se replantean y se agregan nuevos modelos sobre sexualidad que, desgraciadamente, no reciben la importancia social que deberían. Como consecuencia, el concepto de heteronormatividad o masculinidad heterosexual sigue impregnando los contextos sociales, desde escuelas hasta pabellones deportivos. De este modo, este estudio pretende analizar los grados de homofobia en distintas modalidades deportivas federadas en Cataluña mediante la adaptación de la Escala de Actitudes hacia la Diversidad en el Deporte confeccionada por Piedra (2016). Y además, son considerados otros factores personales (sexo, edad, orientación sexual y cambios) como ejes para la comprensión de la influencia de este marco heteronormativo a la que son sometidos los colectivos, con el fin de plantear futuras líneas de acción socioeducativas orientadas a cuestionar y cambiar este escenario.

Cosmopolitan Revolutionaries: Masculinity, Migration, and Gender Performativity in Latin American London
Araujo, Natalie
La Trobe University http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7555-8223
This article explores the relational dynamics by which a particular group of young Colombian men strategically construct and perform masculinity within context of Latin American London. Focusing on quotidian experience and seeking to move beyond stereotypical narratives of masculine “loss” or “adjustment” relating to machismo, it demonstrates how “traditional” hegemonic norms are resourced as constitutive elements in the articulation of new modalities of gendered orientation. Observing that with migration Latin American men are often placed under contradictory pressure to both conform to and subvert cultural stereotypes of machismo and hegemonic masculinity, here young male Colombian migrants are seen to harness vernacular cosmopolitanism as an important moral orientation through which to creatively rearticulate machismo, dynamically reframing their subjectivities in ways that meaningfully engage with their life predicaments. What emerges are expressions of a subject position referred to here as the ‘cosmopolitan revolutionary,’ a performative orientation that encourages the expression of masculine authority and decisiveness while also emphasising anti-authoritarian and egalitarian principles of positive reciprocity and worldly care.

Taming the Volcano: Hegemonic and Counter-Hegemonic Masculinities in the Middle Ages
Hadas, Miklos
Corvinus University of Budapest,
Institute of Sociology http://orcid.org/0000-0003-3143-1121
Relying to Norbert Elias' process sociology and the Bourdieusian theory of practice, this article intends to outline the beginnings of the long-term transformation of Western masculine habituses. First, it concentrates on hegemonic knightly masculine dispositions, pointing out how these patterns are structured by the uncivilized libido dominandi, i.e. by the more or less free indulgence in physical violence. Next, it scrutinises the counter-hegemonic dispositions of clerics, based on internalised violence control. Finally, it argues that there are several transitory figurations between the two ideal types, i.e. the borders between the knightly and clerical masculinities are blurred. Consequently, as a result of changing structural constraints, by the end of the Middle Ages hybrid masculine habituses are being formed.

“So I Won’t Go to Jail”: Year Two of a PROMUNDO-Adapted Program to Eradicate Gender-Based Violence
Powell-Williams, Todd

Foley, Allison

This paper presents evaluation results of a PROMUNDO-adapted program enacted to reduce gender-based violence among preadolescent boys. Outcomes that are examined include promoting critical thinking regarding masculinity, aggression, and violence; fostering skills necessary for effective communication, prosocial emotional expression, and non-violent conflict resolution. While quantitative findings in this small sample do not indicate statistically significant results, qualitative analyses indicate that participants were better equipped to express their emotions, particularly anger, and to resolve conflict in non-violent ways that may slow the school-to-prison pipeline.
