  • Product Description

    Masculinities in fiction, and in film, have become an increasingly important field of study over the last ten years, mirroring and drawing on the developments in feminist analyses of cultural production from the early 1970s. This study offers a broad, interdisciplinary approach to the study of masculinities in postwar fiction and film, analysing a range of popular texts and their representation of men in terms of race, class, sexuality and age.
    Part I focuses on the theme of fractured subjectivity, concentrating on science fiction, fantastic and spy genres. Part II considers fictions where representations of masculinity are tied up with an ideological narrative of the nation state and also connected by the motif of ageing and of a nostalgic view of heroic masculinity. This part focuses on the Western and crime fictions.
