| Description: |
Looks at how the theories and practice of masculinity impact on international issues. With chapters on South Africa, Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, India and the Middle East, this book covers contemporary issues and themes, including chapters on the cyborg soldier, post-traumatic stress and the hyper-masculine Muslim male. |
| Synopsis: |
The reality of international relations and its academic study are still almost entirely constituted by men. Rethinking the Man Question is a crucial investigation and reinvigoration of debates about gender and international relations.Following on from the seminal The Man Question in International Relations this book looks at the increasingly violent and 'toxic' nature of world politics post 9/11. Contributors including Raewyn Connell, Kimberley Hutchings, Cynthia Enloe, Kevin Dunn and Sandra Whitworth consider the diverse theoretical and practical implications of masculinity for international relations in the modern world. Covering theoretical issues including masculine theories of war, masculinity and the military, cyborg soldiers, post-traumatic stress disorder and white male privilege. The book also focuses on the ways in which masculinity configures world events from conscientious objection in South Africa to 'porno-nationalism' in India, from myths and heroes in Kosovo to the makings of Zimbabwe.This essential work will define the field for many years to come. |
