Description

Posthumanism and the Man Question Beyond Anthropocentric Masculinities by Ulf Mellström and Bob Pease explores how 'Man' as a gendered being is entangled with nature, culture, materiality, and corporeality. The contributors examine ways to unsettle traditional notions of masculinity and explore the potential for men to adopt a more decentred, embodied, affective, vulnerable, and relational self. This book delves into various aspects of masculinity, including fathering, pornography, ageing, affect, embodiment, entanglements with technology and nature. The authors investigate the implications of these issues for changing men and masculinities, as well as their engagement with posthuman feminisms. Academics, students, and scholars across diverse disciplines will find this book an interesting contribution to the intersections of feminist studies with posthumanism and new materialism.
