Abstract

What do Bruce Springsteen, Parzival, and heterosexual male Johns have in common? In their volume Redeemers, Figurations of Male Hegemony (Erlöser, Figurationen männlicher Hegemonie), Sven Glawion, Elahe Haschemi Yekani, and Jana Husmann-Kastein show that the religiously charged motif of a (Christian) male savior-figure can function as an enlightening heuristic model that makes visible the mechanisms of masculine hegemony, particularly in (supposedly) secular societies.
