| After centuries of wondering "what is femininity?" intellectuals are currently fascinated by a second question, implied in the first: what is masculinity? This seminar builds up from two basic assumptions: that masculinity, like femininity, is a fictional construct, and that, as such, it is not the exclusive property of one race, sexuality, or sex. The first part of the semester will be devoted to a critical examination of some of the major theories about masculinity originating from feminist theory, psychoanalytical thought, cultural studies, and the emergent field of men's studies. In the second part we will look at various representations of men, manhood, and masculinity in 19th and 20th-century US cultures, from the rugged individual to the urban rebel, from the white-collar worker to the gender outlaw.
