This publication is dedicated to the changes in masculinity/ies that visual artists have been addressing since the 1970s and are currently working on more than ever. Contributions from art and other cultural studies illuminate the diverse artistic processes by which the idea of masculinity as a seemingly universal, irrefutable constant is being successively replaced by the assumption of a plurality of masculinities. The volume comprises four sections: Postphallic Masculinity, Queering Masculinities, Optimised Masculinity/ies and Vulnerability. Based on the premise that male bodies do not have an intrinsic essence but are socially constructed and thus transformable, visions of future masculinity(ies) are discussed and concretised.

Kunst, Männlichkeiten Und Queerness Seit 1970

Under Construction

Shine allures and awakens desire. As a phenomenon of perception shiny things and materials fascinate and tantalize. They are a formative element of material culture, promising luxury, social distinction and the hope of limitless experience and excess. Since the early twentieth century the mass production, dissemination and popularization of synthetic materials that produce heretofore-unknown effects of shine have increased. At the same time, shine is subjectified as “glamor” and made into a token of performative self-empowerment. The volume illuminates genealogical as well as systematic relationships between material phenomena of shine and cultural-philosophical concepts of appearance, illusion, distraction and glare in bringing together renowned scholars from various disciplines.

Materials, Practices, and Politics of Shine in Modern Art and Popular Culture

Wie sieht ein moderner Mann aus? Dass sich das Frauenbild im Verlauf des 20. Jahrhunderts mehrfach radikal gewandelt hat, steht außer Frage. Wie steht es jedoch mit dem Mann als und im Bild? Wann und warum herrschen traditionelle Männlichkeitsinszenierungen vor, wie sind Verfahren der Feminisierung und Maskulinisierung zu bewerten, und welche Bilder produziert der ›neue Mann‹? Das Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, für den Zeitraum von 1900 bis heute die visuellen Darstellungsweisen von Männlichkeit und die damit verbundenen künstlerischen sowie gesellschaftspolitischen Strategien zu untersuchen und kritisch zu diskutieren.
