Taking its cue from the greater visibility of men's studies in the last decade, this comprehensive volume focuses on the various ways that mass media do not so much "reflect" masculinity in society as "teach" it by creating or reinforcing its own idealized images. Encompassing a wide-spectrum of research particularly from the last twenty years, this book shows the range of masculine identities. While these publications normally deal with one specific medium, the present study considers four distinct mediums of mass media: movies, television, advertising, and sports coverage.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this study, Kenneth MacKinnon suggests that ultimately masculinity is no straightforward actuality. Instead, several aspects of masculinity are ideals rather than social realities. These ideals might be best understood as forming a near-impossible version of masculinity to which males in society are encouraged to aspire if they want to be real men'.
