Masculine Interests - Homoerotics in Hollywood Film (editie 2002)24 | Geen | 956,474 | Geen | Geen | Until Masculine Interests not much had been written about men "as men" in the cinema.

Informatie afkomstig uit de Engelse Algemene Kennis. Bewerk om naar jouw taal over te brengen. Those of us who are born male must at some point in our lives start figuring out what it means to be male. Although we are inscribed within culture from birth, and there is a question of the role played by genetics and biology, there is a sense in which we also make choices about how to inhabit out maleness. To become gendered, as one of the first requirements of becoming socialized, we both consciously and unconsciously learn the codes of masculinity available to us - by observing Mom and Dad, brothers and sisters, friends, strangers on the street, teachers, magazine advertising, television, movies, and so on. -Preface In his memoir | |
