When it comes to health, men are, by now, considered to be deficient beings: they prefer meat over salads, they get their cars checked more regularly than their bodies, and they like to have one over the eight from time to time. The target audience “men” is considered increasingly in health promotion. Sebastian Scheele’s detailed analysis is the first one to trace the gender knowledge that is (re)produced in this process. Furthermore, he questions the self-relations that are propagated in men’s health promotion and places them within the context of neoliberal ways of government. To this end, he expands Foucault’s concept of governmentality with social-constructivist gender theory and relates it to health sciences.
