Synopsis
An exciting new popular study of the male body--fresh, honest, and full of revelations In this surprising, candid cultural analysis, Susan Bordo begins with a frank, tender look at her own father's body and goes on to perceptively scrutinize the presentation of maleness in everyday life. Men's (and women's) ideas about men's bodies are heavily influenced by society's expectations, and Bordo helps us understand where those ideas come from. In chapters on the penis (in all its incarnations), fifties Hollywood, male beauty standards, and sexual harassment, and in discussions of topics ranging from Marlon Brando and Boogie Nights to Philip Roth and Lady Chatterley's Lover , Bordo offers fresh and unexpected insights. Always--whether she is examining Michael Jordan or Humbert Humbert, the butch phallus or her own grade-school experiences--she rejects rigid categories in favor of an honest, nuanced version of men as flesh-and-blood human beings., 'A prodigiosly researched tour through movies, TV,art, advertising, fashion, celebrity culture, pop,psychology, social science, liiterarture, medicine,and more' - Village Voice,'remarkable, and not just because it is by a,female scholar who has been through the gender,wars. It is very tough. It is also very tender.,Provocative, unexpected and winning' - New York,Times.,A candid, cutural analysis of the male body in all,its forms which goes on to scrutinise the,presentation of maleness in everyday life.
