Patriarchy in Practice: Ethnographies of Everyday Masculinities
Editat de Nikki van der Gaag, Amir Massoumian, Dan Nightingaleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 feb 2023
Contributors engage with theoretical frameworks engaging with feminist theory, contemporary politics of gender, bodies and marginalised experiences of masculinites. Global case studies are wide-ranging and include analysis of masculinity among communities such as drag artists, InCels and e-sports enthusiasts, as well as in the context of the body, for instance in relation to alcoholism and physical disability.
In an era of resurgence of typically hegemonic patriarchal figures in the form of 'strong men' leadership, this book seeks to uncover what an alternative vision of masculinity could look like - one that is firmly rooted in a gender equality and feminist discourse.

Recenzii
[The] anthology explores the intricate connections between masculinity and patriarchy, offering a fresh perspective on their potential and difficulties for transformation. The collection strives to deepen our understanding of these systems while also considering the possibility of disentangling them. This broader perspective places the spotlight not only on masculinities themselves but also on the larger structures that shape and influence them.
Patriarchy in Practice is an excellent, welcome and sobering contribution to ethnographic scholarship on contemporary masculinities. It reflects a refreshing appreciation of the remarkable adaptability and resilience of patriarchy, and it feels attuned to the zeitgeist of the present era. Whilst offering a rich, dynamic and complex diversity of fascinating studies on contextualised masculinities drenched in local flavours, the editors manage to introduce these with an excellent and accessible framing of masculinity in relation to patriarchy. They also conclude deftly with a thoughtful synthesis of insights from the studies whilst proffering some hopeful reflections for work with men on masculinities to resist and transcend the toxic injustices of patriarchy.
Patriarchy is sometimes presented as an overarching and somewhat abstract set of structures and processes of societal domination by men. Here, however, in this book patriarchy is very much about what happens in practice, and what happens in the everyday - how patriarchy is done. The writing is fast-paced, accessible and diverse, across countries, sites and subjects, in both senses. Patriarchy in Practice brings together diverse ethnographies written for a wide and non-specialist readership, and neatly organised and edited. In so doing, it makes a strong and grounded contribution to the current revival of interest in contemporary patriarchies and patriarchal masculinities in action. Read on and "enjoy"!
Patriarchy in Practice is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the complexities of gender, patriarchy, and the pressing need to explore meaningful alternatives to patriarchal masculinities. This book successfully challenges us to envision a world where masculinity is not inextricably linked to patriarchy, offering inspiration for a more equitable future.
