| Department: | Gender Studies |
| Description: | At various stages in the modern era, men in the western world have found themselves in a state of "crisis" requiring men to find new ways to cope in the modern world. In HIS 230-01, students study concepts of masculinity and men's experiences since 1750. Much of the course focusses 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 setting, and bodily manipulation. Starting with a study of masculinity in manners and discipline before 1800, the course will end by asking if men of the 21st century have been emasculated and 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 30-50 pages for classes, write essay exams in class, and produce short papers. |
