Men, management and multiple masculinities in organisations

One of the most important shifts in the theorisation of the social construction of gender identities has been the recognition of their relational and multiple nature. In my work, on merchant banking in the city of London, I suggested that two dominant rhetorics of masculinity and gendered performances, adopted by men working in particular spaces in banks, were distinguishable. In this paper, I return to the interviews that I undertook with these men, re-reading the transcripts in order to try to demonstrate that a more nuanced understanding of the complex and contradictory ways that men interact with other men in the workplace – peers, subordinates and superiors – is possible. The focus of this paper is on the ways in which men manage other men, unpicking the dominant or hegemonic view of male managers as rational. Men, as well as women, engage in emotional labour in organisations. In my earlier work, I drew only on the interviews that I had carried out with men in professional positions, contrasting corporate financiers with dealers and traders. Here I also draw on interviews with men in back office employment, in professional and in technical and clerical occupations, contrasting the management styles of these men with those of corporate finance managers.

The League of Men

The rhetoric of masculinity is at melting point in Australian culture. In the nineties, Australian television news and sporting programs have constructed a particularly shrill and insistent form of brash, heterosexual sporting masculinity in football reporting. Against this norm of rippling 'muscularity' and aggressive competition, all so-called aberrant forms of humanity such as women, homosexuals, and men who do not fit into Connell's 'hegemonic masculinity' paradigm have been effectively marginalised and silenced. Class and ethnicity discourses are at best muted, and at worst, ignored in much of the writing about sporting masculinity. While acknowledging the significance of class and ethnicity, this paper explores the nexus between gender, sexuality, the media and League football.

Masculinity, Manhood and Machismo in Radwan El-Kashef's Arak El-Balah

In a region where gender differences are deeply ingrained and sedimented within its social structure, it is no surprise that the rhetoric of masculinity and femininity has long been reified in various Arab cultural and literary productions. This rhetoric has also been projected in diverse forms and from various vantages. Moreover, while it is true that substantial studies have been devoted to the discourse of femininity, much still needs to be said about the manifestation of masculinity, manhood and machismo in modern/ postmodern Arab productions and publications.
