About this book
The contributions collected here investigate how masculinities become apparent, how they take shape and what systemic functions they have. What, they ask, are the relations between the abstract and corporeal, metaphorical and metonymic manifestations of masculinity? How are we to understand masculinity as a simultaneously systemic and corporeal, performative concept?

Reviews
“Contemporary Masculinities in the UK and the US is a very enjoyable collection of rather heterogeneous texts. … the collection accomplishes very well what it set out to do, namely to raise awareness of the gap Between Bodies and Systems.” (Monika Müller, Anglia, Vol. 138 (4), 2020)
