Much of the course focuses on men in the Western world, with some attention given to masculinity in nineteenth-century colonial settings. Issues of privilege, dominance, and sexuality will be considered as students study masculinity in relation to war, boxing, relationships, industrialization, racism, science, family life, reproduction, social settings, and bodily manipulation. The course ends by asking if men of the 21st century have been used up, crushed by the modern age, or if "masculinity" has always been in a state of crisis.and reinvention. Students should be prepared to read for classes, write essay exams in class, and produce short papers. Students should sign up under the HIS number for it to count as HIS. Students should sign up under GEN number for it to count as GEN. |
