Highlights
In the first chapter, Hickey-Moody underlines the relation between the production of hegemonic masculinities and cultural politics: “Masculinity is largely taught and learnt through embodied and symbolic sets of practices that take place in a range of places and are distributed across often quite complex networks” (p.1)
Being pioneer in blurring Deleuzian thought and methods with masculinity studies, the author shows how Deleuze work can operate as a set of theoretical tools enabling rethinking critically pedagogies of gender
Understanding assemblage as a set of factors coming together being "itself performativity” (p.36), masculinity can be thought as an assemblage of affective economies connecting machines such as global structures, human agencies, matter, ideas, contexts and acts identified as masculine
Summary
Hickey-Moody underlines the relation between the production of hegemonic masculinities and cultural politics: “Masculinity is largely taught and learnt through embodied and symbolic sets of practices that take place in a range of places and are distributed across often quite complex networks” (p.1). Being pioneer in blurring Deleuzian thought and methods with masculinity studies, the author shows how Deleuze work can operate as a set of theoretical tools enabling rethinking critically pedagogies of gender. Hickey-Moody analyses what performativity, assemblage and affect “do”.
