Extra-Ordinary Men

White Heterosexual Masculinity and Contemporary Popular Cinema

Beschreibung

This book analyzes popular cinematic representations of normative masculinity, exploring the idea that its positioning as the "ordinary" identity is a source of not only ideological and political strength but also considerable anxiety. Rehling offers lucid accounts of contemporary theoretical debates on masculinity, whiteness, gender, race, and sexuality in popular cinema, and detailed readings of films as diverse as Fight Club, Boys Don't Cry, and The Matrix.

Autor

Nicola Rehling currently teaches film and literature courses at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.
