Abstract

Australian sociologist Robert William Connell’s concept of “hegemonic masculinity” has had considerable influence since the mid-eighties on the emerging body of men’s research, first in English-speaking world and then, following the publication of his central text Masculinities in German translation in 1999, also in the German speaking world. The volume at hand probes the “concrete heuristic utility” of Connell’s concept for historical research and examines the historically different developments of masculinities (22). The collected volume is conceived as an interdisciplinary contribution to masculinity research and contains twelve articles combining perspectives from history, literature, and cultural studies as well as one sociological contribution. The goal of this interesting collected volume is to help make the terms more precise within men and gender studies and to bring Connell’s concept up to speed for its use in historical research. This goal is realized by many of the articles.
