Hunsicker develops a psychoanalytical theory of adolescence and combines it with deconstructivist gender theory. On this basis, he criticizes youth work with boys, which aims at stabilizing male identity and fails to comprehensively and (self-) critically reflect on gender hierarchies, dualisms, and attributions. According to Hunsicker, this practice leads to the reproduction of gender norms and inner male hierarchies, which impedes the development of reflexivity and autonomy in adolescence. Hunsicker’s study, with its exciting content, could revive important discussions within gender-sensitive pedagogy. However, the partly incomprehensible and obscure presentation inhibits this opportunity.
