Men on film are central to constructing that elusive category of "masculinity", yet until recently masculinity was the unnamed subject of studies of gender in cinema. In MASCULINITY Peter Lehman -- a pioneer of masculinity studies -- brings together new work by an impressive group of film scholars, performance artists, and cultural critics to examine our myriad ways of screening the male body. Through the lens of such films as Deliverance, Swingers, Ransom, and the James Bond oeuvre, the contributors explore the emergence of the new queer cinema, the return of the angry white male, the convention of gay men saving heterosexual romances, the prevalence of the "melodramatic penis" in current film, and the body as it signifies gendered, racial, class, and generational differences. This volume lays the groundwork for men and women -- straight, gay, or lesbian -- to better understand the complex and shifting category of masculinity in both film and everyday life.
Peter Lehman is Professor at Arizona State University at Tempe. He is the editor of Defining Cinema (1997) and the author of Running Scared: Masculinity and theRepresentation of the Male Body (1993).
