"Constructing Manhood and Masculinity in the Early Americas"
This panel will explore different ways that texts, music, and/or art
construct definitions of manhood and masculinity. Panelists may want to
consider representations of masculinity in English, French, and/or Spanish
cultures of the early Americas. Possible issues to be examined include
(but are not limited to) the ways genres or cultures define differing and
even competing constructs of masculinity and manhood. Which versions of
masculinity are validated and which ones rejected? Is the masculine
subject always an adult male? How are representations of masculinity used
as counterpoints or complements to femininity and childhood? What are the
relationships between perceived notions of masculinity and sexuality? How
is masculinity linked to citizenship and national identity? What anxieties
and ambivalences are expressed about masculinity or through the masculine
subject?
