Synopsis

Over the past several years, the question of men's relation to feminist criticism has become a fiercely debated topic. "Engendering Men" demonstrates the creative impact that feminist modes of inquiry have already had on a new generation of male critics. In the wake of feminism, many men have found it imperative to begin the task of retheorizing the male position in our culture. Bringing together the work of 18 male critics, this collection of new work opens up a new avenue in literary and cultural criticism, as well as in gender and feminist theory. Investigating poetry, fiction, the Broadway stage, film and television, and broader cultural and psychoanalytic texts, these essays propose exciting paradigms for re-envisioning the dynamics of masculine subjectivity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Over the past several years, the question of men’s relation to feminism has become a fiercely and sometimes bitterly debated subject. Engendering Men demonstrates the creative impact that feminist modes of inquiry have already had on a new generation of male critics.

In the wake of feminism, many men have found it imperative to begin the task of retheorizing the male position in our culture. This collection of new essays brings together seventeen male critics whose work – on poetry, fiction, the Broadway stage, film and television, and broader cultural and psychoanalytic texts – is opening up new avenues in criticism, as well as in gender and feminist theory.
