Abstract

The book Masculinities—Maskulinitäten, edited by Therese Steffen and published in 2002, introduces a number of texts in German and in English, all of which deal with diverse ideas about masculinity. The various contributions in this book do not only aim to deconstruct the category “man”, but also aim to critically evaluate the “reality of stereotypical hegemonic masculinity” among the diversity of experiences.
