Ecomasculinities : Negotiating Male Gender Identity in U.S. Fiction Hardback
Edited by Ruben Cenamor, Stefan Brandt
Part of the Ecocritical Theory and Practice series
Hardback
Description
While there exist numerous studies on ecocriticism and ecofeminism, much less has been written about ecomasculinities.
This volume contributes to filling this gap by examining models of fictional ecomasculinity in and through contemporary U.S. literature and cinema. Our study examines ecomasculinities as practices of masculinity which are deeply conservationist and can embrace non-masculine traits.
In this line of thought, a main goal of the volume is to interrogate the potential of ecomasculinities to elicit in men a desire to become engage in other practices of masculinity that are counter-hegemonic and have as main goal to achieve equality on different strata of society. Bridging the gap between the Social Sciences and the Humanities, the book interrogates intersections between ecomasculinities and masculinities beyond capitalism, ecomasculinities and aging, and ecomasculinities and queerness, among others.
