Masculine Identities: The History and Meanings of Manliness

Masculine Identities: The History and Meanings of Manliness

Herbert L. Sussman
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In the classical Athens of Plato and Pericles, erotic relations between adolescents and adult men--what we now revile as pedophilia--was the marker of manliness; a clear example of how concepts of masculinity shift. Even within modern western society, there are conflicting ideals for men; they are expected to be both aggressive and unemotional in business, and sensitive and caring as a father and lover.



Masculine Identities: The History and Meanings of Manliness provides a comprehensive consideration of what being a man has meant over time. A fascinating read for men and women alike, it examines masculine identities that emerged in the past and continue into the present, such as the warrior, the democratic man, the craftsman, the self-made man of business, as well as ethnic forms of manliness. The work concludes by examining the contemporary issues of male sexuality, same-sex identity, and the conflicts within men in the modern world.
