Synopsis

This book discusses how two decades of feminism have affected the way men define their own masculinities and how they have responded in their social, sexual and political lives to the challenges posed by the evolving feminist critiques of patriarchy and maleness itself. The collection contains a diversity of approaches and viewpoints from academics, a poet, an educational researcher, and the members of an active men's group. Gay issues feature prominently, as do psychoanalytical views, most of which are marked by a practical and personal outlook. The book attempts to show men finding their own way within the spaces feminism has opened to them. It shows men rediscovering their own gendered voices and participating in the transformation of controlling ideologies in their daily lives. These accounts should appeal to students in the social sciences and gender studies, as well as to all men responding to the feminist challenge.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Between Men and Feminism had its origins in a lively colloquium at St John’s College, Cambridge in 1990. It discusses how two decades of feminism have affected the ways men define their own masculinities, and how they have responded in their own social, sexual and political lives to the challenges posed by the evolving feminist critiques of patriarchy and maleness itself.

The collection contains a great diversity of approaches from Britain and North America. It includes viewpoints from academics, a poet, an educational researcher and the members of an active men’s group. Gay issues feature prominently, as do psychoanalytical views, and a number of the pieces provide a refreshingly personal and practical outlook.

Between Men and Feminism shows men finding their own way within the spaces feminism has opened to them, rediscovering their own gendered voices and participating in the transformation of controllong ideologies in their daily lives. These very readable accounts will appeal not only to students in the social sciences and gender studies, but to all men who find themselves responding to the feminist challenge.
