Beskrivning
As more and more work is being done in the name of the ever-growing field of study of literary representations of masculinities, it seems timely to not only review its development and main contributions to the larger field of masculinity studies, but also to look at its latest advances and new directions. These are precisely the two main aims of Masculinities and Literary Studies, which seeks to explore the conjunction between these two fields while exploring some of the latest developments and new directions resulting from such intersections.If much of the existing masculinity scholarship has traditionally been grounded in a specific discipline, this volume also seeks to provide an innovative methodological approach to the subject of literary masculinities by proving the applicability of the latest interdisciplinary masculinity scholarship - namely, sociology, social work, psychology, economics, political science, ecology, etc. - to the literary analysis, thus crossing the traditional boundary between the Social Sciences and the Humanities in new and profound ways. Presenting the latest advances in masculinity scholarship, this interdisciplinary book will appeal to gender and masculinity scholars from a wide variety of fields, including sociology and social work, psychology, philosophy, political science, and cultural and literary studies.

"What truly distinguishes the present volume from those preceding it is that instead of focusing on literary masculinities of a certain period or type, it combines multiple disciplinary perspectives and approaches to masculinities with literary analysis, resulting in a productive cross-fertilization of the social sciences and humanities."Marlee Fuhrmann, International Journal for Masculinity Studies."It seems that the volume Masculinities and Literary Studies: Intersections and New Directions is an attempt to negotiate different theoretical attitudes within the field of masculinity studies and gives some new theoretical impulses. Among them we can find: reconfiguration of the disciplinary languages, focus on nature and bodily affects, and focus on late capitalism’s biopolitics of masculinity."Wojciech Smieja, Journal of Men and Masculinities.
