Unsustainable Institutions of Men

How are men, masculinities and gender power implicated within global institutions? How are global institutions to be understood in terms of men, masculinities and gender power? What are men up to in such arenas as: global finance, corporate law, military intelligence, world sporting bodies and nationalist politics? Unsustainable Institutions of Men examines men’s dealings in transnational processes across the economy, politics, technologies and bodies. In exploring the men’s domination of institutions in national and transnational realms this volume underpins a novel approach built around multiple "dispersed centres" of men’s power. Indeed, in critical discussions of men and masculinities there has been a gradual shift in focus from the local, so-called ‘ethnographic moment’, to a broader view encompassing several dynamics (e.g. global, transnational, international, postcolonial and the global north-south). Building on this conceptual move, Unsustainable Institutions of Men focuses on pinpointing masculine actions and influences that support and enact transnational processes, disclosing those connections and examining institutional alternatives which could contribute to more inclusive and democratic transnational dialogues.Comprised of a range of international contributions, Unsustainable Institutions of Men will appeal to students, researchers, experts and activists seeking to understand the deep structural conditions of contemporary globalized threats, created by old and new patterns of gender power and transnational patriarchies.

This book explores the masculinity and sexuality of migration, analyzing the complex processes of becoming a man and the strategies used by men to reconcile paradoxes and contradictions that co-exist between multiple masculinities and contradictory models of being a man. Vasquez del Aguila offers a number of conceptual contributions, including the notion of “masculine capital” that provides men with the necessary “masculine” skills and cultural competence to achieve legitimacy and social recognition as men; an analysis of male friendship where notions of solidarity and intimacy co-exist with those of distrust, competition, and power relations; and three social representations of being a man: the winner, the failed, and the good enough man. By analyzing heterosexual as well as gay masculinities, and incorporating race and class relations, this study shows the multiplicity and hierarchies of masculinities presented within a particular cultural context. Through ethnographic research undertaken over more than four years in New York and Lima, Peru, this book also examines the role of the Internet and transnational romances and the ways in which migration can create new opportunities for male sexual intimacy, while for others, it creates loneliness and isolation.
Men and Masculinities at the Margins
Decolonial and Intersectional Approaches

Kommande
Addressing the longstanding shortcomings of theorising on men, masculinity and gender relations by examining how power operates through marginal positions, this book explores how masculinities are constructed, marginalised, and resisted across a wide range of geographies by bringing intersectionality and decoloniality into sustained dialogue.Men and Masculinities at the Margins moves beyond understandings of masculine marginality as a fixed condition to instead distinguish between margins as relational positions and marginalisation as historically situated processes shaped by inequality and power. In doing so, it places hegemonic masculinity under critical scrutiny, revealing both its continued relevance and its conceptual limitations. The contributions to this volume empirically ground engagements with this perspective, drawing on research from across the Global South and North to reveal how the processes of marginalisation are linked to colonial legacies, racialisation, class, precarity, caste, migration, violence, queerness, and digital transformations.Essential for researchers in Sociology, Gender Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, these contributions reposition the margins as central sites for rethinking men, masculinity and the dynamics of power in a deeply unequal world.
