Description
This book considers issues of social and ecological significance through a masculinities lens.
Earth – our home for aeons – is reeling. The atmosphere is heating up, causing reefs to bleach, fisheries to collapse, regions to flood and dry, vast tracts to burn, the polar ice caps to melt, ancient glaciers to retreat, biodiversity to decline exacerbated by the sixth great extinction, and more.
Meanwhile, social and economic disparities are widening.
Pandemics are cauterising glocal communities and altering our social mores.
Nationalism is feeding divisiveness and hate, especially through men’s violence.
Politically extreme individuals and groups are exalting freedom while scapegoating the marginalised.
Such are the symptoms of an emerging (m)Anthropocene.
This anthology contends with these alarming trends, pointing our attention towards their gendered origins.
Building on our monograph Ecological Masculinities: Theoretical Foundations and Practical Guidance (2018), this collection of essays is framed as a dinner party conversation grouped into six discursive themes.
Their views reflect a growing community of practice, whose combined efforts capture the most recent perspectives on masculine ecologisation.
Together, they aim to help create a more caring world for all, moving the ecological masculinities conversation forward as it becomes an established, international, and pluralised field of study.
