Masculinities Polity Press, 1995 - 295 ページ This volume offers an introduction to, and a synthesis of, a new field of knowledge and politics. It examines and assesses the history of attempts to create knowledge of the nature of masculinity by psychoanalysis, social scientists, and movements for social change. Connell argues that, while the goal of a science of masculinity is mistaken, we can gain fresh ways of thinking about men's bodies and men's involvement in a gendered world. There is not one masculinity, but multiple masculinities, which can be understood through a social analysis of gender relations. |
