This volume brings together art, literature, and critical analyses to examine which concepts and blueprints of (re-)negotiation of national, ethnic and religious identities may pave the way towards a more inclusive yet open and plural Sri Lankan society. It looks to develop new, creative, and alternative concepts of community and nation-building as envisaged in Sri Lanka’s rich contemporary art scene, i.e. literature, theatre, film, and performing and visual arts. The individual chapters authored by prominent academics as well as renowned artists critically engage with a pertinent selection of contemporary Sri Lankan works of art and their visions of what a multi-ethnic, multi-religious Sri Lanka might look like in the aftermath of three decades of war, a severe economic crisis and the tenacious protests of 2022 (Aragalaya).The first of its kind, this volume includes analyses ranging from disciplines such as Anthropology, Literary and Cultural Studies, Film and Performance Studies, South Asian Studies and Art History to topics such as the question of truth in testimonial literature, Buddhist nationalism, Sinhala identity politics and the (im)possibility of transitional justice. It is supplemented with interviews and unpublished short stories and poetry from well-known resident and diasporic Sri Lankan writers as well as art originating from the Aragalaya.

Post-World War II Masculinities in British and American Literature and Culture
Towards Comparative Masculinity Studies
Häftad, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Analyzing literary texts, plays, films and photographs within a transatlantic framework, this volume explores the inseparable and mutually influential relationship between different forms of national identity in Great Britain and the United States and the construction of masculinity in each country. The contributors take up issues related to how certain kinds of nationally specific masculine identifications are produced, how these change over time, and how literature and other forms of cultural representation eventually question and deconstruct their own myths of masculinity. Focusing on the period from the end of World War II to the 1980s, the essays each take up a topic with particular cultural and historical resonance, whether it is hypermasculinity in early cold war films; the articulation of male anxieties in plays by Arthur Miller, David Mamet and Sam Shepard; the evolution of photographic depictions of masculinity from the 1960s to the 1980s; or the representations of masculinity in the fiction of American and British writers such as Patricia Highsmith, Richard Yates, John Braine, Martin Amis, Evan S. Connell, James Dickey, John Berger, Philip Roth, Frank Chin, and Maxine Hong Kingston. The editors and contributors make a case for the importance of understanding the larger context for the emergence of more pluralistic, culturally differentiated and ultimately transnational masculinities, arguing that it is possible to conceptualize and emphasize difference and commonality simultaneously.

Männlichkeitsbilder im Wandel. Männlichkeit ist ein Forschungsfeld, das sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten innerhalb der Geschlechterforschung immer stärker profiliert hat. Mittlerweile ist die Beschäftigung mit Männlichkeit auch in Medizin, Psychologie, Soziologie, Film- und Literaturwissenschaft zu einem festen Bestandteil geworden. Das Handbuch stellt einen Dialog zwischen den etablierten anglo-amerikanischen Masculinity Studies und der in Europa betriebenen Männlichkeitsforschung her, beleuchtet die wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen und führt die wichtigsten natur-, sozial- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Perspektiven in einem interdisziplinären Ansatz zusammen. Dabei wird das jeweils fachspezifisch hervorgebrachte Wissen über Männlichkeit von führenden Forschern bilanziert und weitergedacht.

Configuring Masculinity in Theory and Literary Practice combines a critical survey of the most current developments in the emergent field of Masculinity Studies with both a historical overview of how masculinity has been constructed within British Literature from the Middle Ages to the present and a special focus on developments in the 20th and 21st centuries. The volume combines seminal articles on the most important concepts in Masculinity Studies by acknowledged experts such as Raewyn Connell, Todd Reeser, and Richard Collier with new and innovative analyses of key British literary texts combining Literary and Cultural Studies approaches with those currently deployed in Masculinity Studies, Gender Studies, Legal Studies, Postcolonial Studies as well as methodologies derived from sociology.
