Description
"Transforming Masculinities explores new ways of thinking about men's power and the tensions men often feel in relation to prevailing cultural masculinities. Questioning the idea that masculinities can be understood exclusively as relationships of power, this book explores how men's power has to be understood in relation to specific cultures and traditions and how transformations in gender relations across generations mean we have to think in new ways about men, masculinities, cultures, bodies, sexualities and emotional life. Challenging the universal applicability of Western models of hegemonic masculinity, Seidler suggests that we need to think differently about diverse cultural masculinities and recognise that men have to engage critically with their own cultural traditions to create more equal and loving relationships." "Written in a practical, versatile manner by an established author in this field, it points to new directions in thinking, and makes essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the fields of sociology, gender studies, politics, philosophy and psychology."--Jacket.
