Abstract
This paper will primarily engage in a close reading of short story Pouca Sorte Com Barbeiros by Portuguese-American author Jose Rodrigues Migueis. Methodologically, my analysis is based on a current debate in gender studies, namely, on relatively new field of studies. This short story features of and masculinity in ways that are particularly recurrent in Migueis's work. The study emphasizes four motifs which especially relate to-and may be illuminated by-questions of and constructions of masculinity. When appropriate, my arguments are supplemented and framed by references to author's other works. The four motifs are: passage to manhood, representations of women, the intellectual as exile and being Portuguese.
