About this title

Synopsis

 This volume collates and examines literary and screened representations of what the editors term ‘border masculinities’. It seeks to understand masculine subjectivities, through fiction and screen, within a complex global arena of relationships and fluid movements across multiple boundaries within that arena. It also concerns paradigmatic borders related to class, gender and ethnicities, as well as other theoretical parameters which cut across porous spatial boundaries. This collection contains a range of theoretically informed responses to varying cultural representations of such masculinities in Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, Australasia and Asia. Thematic and conceptual connections between them are discussed in the introductory chapter and such links are also made between chapters.
