Abstract
Research demonstrates that gender configurations and environmental issues interact. Important studies have been conducted for example in ecofeminism, feminist techno-science and political ecology, focusing mainly on negative effects on women. Research on different forms of masculinities has, on the other hand, been modest, despite the fact that it is largely men who are responsible for our unsustainable world. The present article argues that it would be fruitful to develop masculinity studies within Environmental Humanities since this is an interdisciplinary field where different disciplines, such as cultural studies, environmental history, energy politics and literature studies, come together. Based on previous research on energy, environmental and climate politics, this article reveals three situated forms of masculinities, conceptualized as industrial, ecological and ecomodern masculinities, respectively. These masculinities are understood as always-in-the-making and part of material-semiotic antagonistic environmental discourses.
