Deleuze and Masculinity
«“Deleuze and Masculinity is a book that shows the importance of reconfiguring how to ‘do’ masculinity and how to think masculinity studies. … this book is a point of departure for reconfiguring alternative masculinities through new modes of thought, contributing to the masculinity studies field in proposing new ways to ‘do’ masculinity and new ways to understand research.” (Silvia de Riba Mayoral, Matter, Journal of New Materialist Research, Vol. 1 (1), 2020)»
This book uses Deleuze's work to understand the politics of masculinity today. It analyses masculinity in terms of what it does, how it operates and what its affects are. Taking a pragmatic approach, Hickey-Moody shapes chapters around key Deleuzian concepts that have proved generative in masculinity studies and then presents case studies of popular subjects and offers overviews of disciplines that have applied Deleuze's work to the study of men's lives. Les mer
The field of disability and masculinity studies has taken up the work of Deleuze and Guattari in a nearly unprecedented fashion. Accordingly, the book also explores the gendered nature of disability, and canvases some of the substantive scholarly contributions that have been made to this interdisciplinary space, before introducing case studies of the work of North American photographer Michael Stokes and the popular Hollywood film Me Before You. The book provocatively concludes by challenging scholars to take up Deleuze's thought to re-shape gendered economies of knowledge and matter that support and contribute to systems of patriarchal domination mediated through environmental exploitation.
