Reviews
“It would serve as an excellent resource for those interested in the masculine side of social constructionism theory as it relates to gender and invites further discussion of queering masculinities in underserved geopolitical areas.” (Ryan C. Redmond, Journal of Language and Sexuality, Vol. 10 (1), 2021)
“Exploring the interface of queer studies with the fields of linguistics, anthropology, semiotics, critical discourse analysis, literary and film studies, the articles in this collection draw a multi-faceted picture of the discursive construction and representation of queer masculinities in a range of text genres and contexts. They engage in fascinating analyses of various aspects of queer masculinities, including issues such as consumer culture, representation in TV series, films, literature and art, intersectionality with trans and racial identities, homophobic discourse and subordination through hegemonic masculinity.” (Heiko Motschenbacher, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen)“By exploring the entire gamut of the representation of masculinity in both old and new media and across a wide range of disciplines, Baker and Balirano get readers really thinking about what it means to be a man in today’s liquid society. Guaranteed to raise awareness about the diverse ways of being and performing masculinity, the book provides a novel contribution to an exciting new field opening up new avenues for other researchers.” (Delia Chiaro, Professor of English Linguistics and Translation, University of Bologna, Italy, and President of the International Society of Humor Studies)
