Exploring Masculinities (eBook, ePUB)

Feminist Legal Theory Reflections
Redaktion: Fineman, Martha Albertson; Thomson, Michael

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Written by leading experts in the area, this volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate, law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities: it has both influenced existing masculinities and has been influenced by those masculinities. The contributions focus feminist and critical theoretical attention on masculinities and consider the implications of masculinities theory for law and legal theory.
