内容説明

Taking its cue from the greater visibility of men's studies in the 1990's, this book argues that the mass media does not "reflect" masculinity in society so much as "teach" it by creating or reinforcing its images. The ideas of many books and articles of the last two decades are synthesised here to show a range of masculinities, suggesting that several aspects of masculinity are in fact ideals rather than realities. These ideals, embodied in film, television, advertising and sports coverage, create a near-impossible version of masculinity to which males are encouraged to aspire if they want to be "real men." This book aims to alert readers to the processes and purpose of such media representations.

内容説明

In this study, Kenneth MacKinnon suggests that ultimately masculinity is no straightforward actuality. Instead, several aspects of masculinity are ideals rather than social realities. These ideals might be best understood as forming a near-impossible version of masculinity to which males in society are encouraged to aspire if they want to be 'real men'.
