pt. 1. Understanding violent masculinity -- pt. 2. Violent masculinity in action -- Interview with Jackson Katz (ca. 18 min.).
Summary:
Looks systematically at the relationship between the images of popular culture and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. in the late 20th century. In this innovative and wide-ranging analysis, Jackson Katz argues that there is a crisis in masculinity and that some of the guises offered to men as a solution (rugged individualism, violence) come loaded with attendant dangers to women, as well as other men.
