Men and Masculinities Offside? : The [Un]sustainability of the Power of Men
Original language description
The argument of the chapter revolves around the background question of the relevance and appropriateness of the idea that men and masculinities can get or be “offside”. The topic is inspired by the recurring public and academic debates on unsustainability of power of men and on particular perceptions of professional men as being powerless cogs in the structural machinery. The main objective of the chapter, grounded in several empirical studies from the Czech context, is to demonstrate how men maintain their key position, what mechanisms put them “offside”, or how they can challenge the mainstream dominant masculinity. “Men and masculinities offside?” elaborates in closer detail masculinities related to environment protection, nurturing fatherhood, gendered practices at childbirth including professional hierarchies in maternity wards. In addition to that, some work-in-progress analytical findings from an ongoing research on perinatal loss will situate the issue of men getting “offside” or remaining central in the field of death and dying, putting into question sustainability of an association between men and mastering of emotions or controlling the edges of humanity. Thus deconstructing the dominant and transforming men´s “centres” of power and practices putting men (themselves) offside form the pivotal topic of the proposed chapter.
