Emergent Masculinities in the Pacific de Aletta Biersack

Emergent Masculinities in the Pacific

Editat de Aletta Biersack, Martha Macintyre
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 apr 2017
Emergent Masculinities in the Pacific focuses on the plasticity and contingent nature of Pacific Island masculinities over the course of colonial and postcolonial histories. The several case histories concern the use of sports to recuperate but also refashion past masculinities in the name of contemporary masculine pride; the effects of market participation on younger males; how urbanisation and migration set the stage for experimenting with male gender and sexuality; the impacts of military and labour histories on local masculinities; masculinity and violence in war and gender violence; and structural violence and disruptions in male gender identity. Depicting contemporary Pacific Island societies as a space of gender invention and pluralism as indigenous gender regimes respond to the stimulations of transnational flows, the book asks a key historical question: Do emergent masculinities signal a rupture, or some continuity with, past masculinities? This book was originally published as a special double issue of The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology.

Descriere

Drawing on fieldwork and historical and ethno-historical research, ten authors offer eight in-depth case studies of the emergence of masculinities throughout the Pacific Islands. Read in conjunction, they pose questions about the role of colonialism and globalisation in shaping contemporary masculinities and of the degree of continuity between precolonial and postcolonial masculinities, establishing an agenda for future research in the decades to come. This book was originally published as a special issue of The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology.
