Men's Studies

30 Março 2020, 18:00 • Ana Maria Seabra de Almeida Rodrigues

As the Faculty was shut down, this class could not take place.  The PPT concerning this class will nevertheless be put in the e-learning platform: The origins of Men’s Studies. Feminism and the anxiety about Men’s Studies. Types of Men’s Studies: the mythopoetic movement; men’s rights lobby; pro-feminist Men’s Studies. Hegemonic masculinity. Toxic masculinity. Protest masculinity. Men’s studies today. 

Students were advised to read the article of John Tosh, “The History of Masculinity: An Outdated Concept?”, in John Arnold and Sean Brady (eds.), What is Masculinity? Historical Dynamics from Antiquity to the Contemporary World, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan, 2011, pp. 17-34.  

Emiliano Santos, who was scheduled to present and debate this article, will send me his written presentation on 9 April.
