Abstract

The collected volume Dimensions of Gender as a Category: The Case of Masculinity (Dimensionen der Kategorie Geschlecht: Der Fall Männlichkeit) contains 14 essays that approach the theme ‘masculinity’ from differing angles. Aspects such as socialization, violence, sexuality, work or homosexuality are examined from a sociological perspective. The book offers an excellent overview of areas for research but also of the gaps in current research on masculinity. Additionally, the individual essays clarify the existent meaning of concepts already developed within scholarly work on men and masculinity, such as the idea of hegemonic masculinity.
