Dautcher. In this seminar we will read and discuss fieldwork-centered approaches to understanding the individual and collective lives of men in communities around the world. Through a perspective that emphasizes masculinity as performed and narrated in everyday life, we will seek to integrate concepts of:(1) the self -the experiencing and embodiment of personhood, subjectivity, and emotion; (2) spatiality and power - public and private forms of masculine self- presentation such as bodily disciplines, sporting events, leisure spaces; and (3) the state - relations between gender ideology, governmentality and power in political theatre, media control, warfare and military memorials. Familiarity with theoretical works on performance and narrative approaches to the study of everyday life will be addressed through additional recommended readings.
