Constructing Masculinity (Discussion in Contemporary Culture, 11)

Constructing Masculinity (Discussion in Contemporary Culture, 11)

• Bringing together the leading scholars, social and applied scientists, poets, activists, and cultural critics, 'Constructing Masculinity' questions the very standards by which masculinity is defined, and considers the ways in which men and women can transcend these stereotypes.

This anthology takes us beyond the status of masculinity itself, questioning society's and the media's normative concepts of the masculine, and considering the extent to which men and women can transcend these stereotypes and prescriptions.
