Anotace:	This book explores the challenges posed to the idea of `masculine identity' during a period of growing scepticism about fixed identities. Postmodernism and poststructuralism have undermined the assumptions upon which established identities have been constructed, such as the concept of stable bodies and stable selves. Sex, gender, sexuality and race are no longer viewed as merely descriptive aspects of experience but also as constructions of identity. Alan Petersen argues that the academic area of men's studies has largely failed to engage with recent theory or critically reflect on the epistemology of masculinity. `Masculinity' has tended to be treated in isolation from power relations and historical and global contexts. Drawing on current debates in postmodern feminism, feminist philosophy of science, anti-racist//postcolonial studies and queer theory, this book considers the way in which discourse fabricates the `ideal' male body, sexual identity and sexual politics. The book explores the possibilities of developing new models of identity not so closely linked to the sex//gender system and examines the prospects of creating a new or reconceptualized identity politics.
