Male Homosexualities and World Religions

Male Homosexualities and World Religions

P. Hurteau

Palgrave Macmillan
2013
nidottu
The interest of this book lies at the very center of a recent deployment of homosexual liberation on a larger scale. The reader will be able to understand how each of the traditions studied articulates its own regulatory mechanisms of male sexuality in general, and homosexuality.
Male Friendship and Testimonies of Love in Shakespeare’s England
Male Friendship and Testimonies of Love in Shakespeare’s England reveals the complex and unfamiliar forms of friendship that existed between men in the late sixteenth century. Using the unpublished letter archive of the Elizabethan spy Anthony Bacon (1558-1601), it shows how Bacon negotiated a path through life that relied on the support of his friends, rather than the advantages and status that came with marriage. Through a set of case-studies focusing on the Inns of Court, the prison, the aristocratic great house and the spiritual connection between young and ardent Protestants, this book argues that the ‘friendship spaces’ of early modern England permitted the expression of male same-sex intimacy to a greater extent than has previously been acknowledged.
Male and Female Violence in Popular Media

Male and Female Violence in Popular Media

Elisa Giomi; Sveva Magaraggia

sidottu
Male and Female Violence in Popular Media brings into focus the apparently symmetrical phenomena of men’s violence against women and women’s violence against men, explaining the profound differences in their actual features as well as in their representations, which over the last few years have been proliferating in a vast array of global media contents. Elisa Giomi and Sveva Magaraggia consider popular media including crime TV series such as The Killing (Denmark, 2007- 2012), The Fall (UK, 2013-2016) and True Detective (USA, 2015), factual entertainment such as Who the (bleep) Did I Marry? (Investigation Discovery, 2010-2015), and Italian pop music in order to examine popular culture’s depictions of men and women in their opposite, yet complementary, roles of perpetrators and victims. They reveal how TV shows, pop-songs, news and commercials that populate global audiences’ daily life fuel false beliefs about love and sexuality that either legitimate or stigmatise violence depending on the perpetrators and victims’ gender.
Male Suicide and Masculinity in 19th-century Britain

Male Suicide and Masculinity in 19th-century Britain

Lyndsay Galpin

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
This book shows how interpretations of suicidal motives were guided by gendered expectations of behaviour, and that these expectations were constructed to create meaning and understanding for family, friends and witnesses. Providing an insight into how people of this era understood suicidal behaviour and motives, it challenges the assertion that suicide was seen as a distinctly feminine act, and that men who took their own lives were feminized as a result. Instead, it shows that masculinity was understood in a more nuanced way than gender binaries allow, and that a man’s masculinity was measured against other men.Focusing on four common narrative types; the love-suicide, the unemployed suicide, the suicide of the fraudster or speculator, and the suicide of the dishonoured solider, it provides historical context to modern discussions about the crisis of masculinity and rising male suicide rates. It reveals that narratives around male suicides are not so different today as they were then, and that our modern model of masculinity can be traced back to the 19th century.

Male Idols and Branding in Chinese Luxury

Male Idols and Branding in Chinese Luxury

Amanda Sikarskie; Lan Lan; Peng Liu

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2024
nidottu
Challenging the Western view of idols as objects of worship, this book explores the role that male idols play in fashion and cosmetics brand marketing in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau; including the role of the female gaze. It examines idols in the more modern, pan-Asian sense of the word - as objects of social devotion, worshipped by the adoring masses and, in China and Korea, as objects of social and moral uplift. The contemporary idol wields great power - the power to influence taste, and to sell - and Male Idols and Branding in Chinese Luxury focuses on their ability to arouse the consumer appetite to buy. In China, popular culture idols play a vital role in the luxury fashion and cosmetics industries as brand ambassadors and this volume fills a critical gap in the English-language literature on this key element of the marketing industry, bringing together authors from the United States and China, and featuring case studies on idols Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan. Through considering the subtleties of branding and marketing in China, Korea, and Japan, and the relationship of Chinese idols to fans and consumers in other Asian countries, the authors delve into brand-idol collaborations, particularly through lenses of brand image and toxic fan culture.

Male Daughters, Female Husbands: Gender and Sex in an African Society
Winner of the Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year 1989In 1987, more than a decade before the dawn of queer theory, Ifi Amadiume wrote Male Daughters, Female Husbands to critical acclaim. Amadiume boldly argues that the notion of gender, as constructed in Western feminist discourse, did not exist in Africa before the colonial imposition of a dichotomous understanding of sexual difference. Male Daughters, Female Husbands frees the subject position of 'husband' from its affiliation with men, and examines the structures in African society that enabled people to achieve power, showing that roles were not rigidly masculinized nor feminized. At a time when gender and queer theory are viewed by some as being stuck in an identity-politics rut, this outstanding study not only warns against the danger of projecting a very specific, Western notion of difference onto other cultures, but calls us to question the very concept of gender itself. This new Essential Amadiume edition features a new foreword by the author in which she reflects on the historical moment at which the book was written; its initial reception; and whether anything has changed since.

The causes of crime are one of the important phases of the crime issues that require more discussion, investigation and research and call for more social and government action. The traditional approach to causation of crime in U.S.A. has been the socio-economic. Yet many countries of the world notably those on the European continent and in Latin America, have insisted that biological and constitutional factors are more influential in eliciting criminal behaviour. The geographical determinists have maintained that the weather, the seasons, topography, humidity etc. are important factors to explain why people behave as they do.
