SoSe 14: American Masculinities from the 18th to the 21st Century
M.-Michaela Hampf
Kommentar
This seminar will be devoted to the study of historical masculinities as intersectional problem. Gender, race and class used to be seen as separate categories for members of the dominant and repressed groups, until scholars started to understand that the intersection of these issues, in combination with age, sexuality, abilities and others, are integral to the position a member of society may hold (Crenshaw). Intersectionality attempts to engage with historically specific forms of power, privilege and domination - concepts in relation to which men have rarely been perceived as "Other". However, Masculinity is no fixed and uniform concept. Raewyn Connell has introduced the concept of hegemonic respective non-hegemonic masculinities. Other scholars have focused on masculinities that can be found outside of traditional male roles and bodies. If masculinity is a contested terrain that produces exclusions, hierarchies and stratifications within itself, we have to speak about the striations within the intersectional masculine space, even if this seems to contradict older feminist contentions and initial usages of the concept. Historical research pertaining to masculinities has been a field that has yielded rich results in the last 20 years, especially in the United States. We will discuss various theories for researching men and masculinities as well as historic masculinities from colonial times to the 20th century. Schließen
