NEASECS CFP: Masculinity
The Modern Man: Masculinity in the Eighteenth Century
I am proposing a panel on masculinity in the long eighteenth century for the
NEASECS conference, October 17-19 at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York
City. Papers may address any aspect of masculinity as it shifts (or fails
to) throughout the century.
Papers might consider:
-What configurations of masculinity compete for predominance,
what they are, and how they do so
-The effect of the burgeoning "middling classes" on masculinity
-Iconic masculinity: aspects of masculinity which remain the
same
-Emulative "manliness"--e.g., what codes and conducts are
co-opted by the gentry from the aristocracy, from the gentry by the middling
classes, or from the middling classes by the laboring classes
-Masculinity and manners
-How masculinity in the Enlightenment struggles to convey its
own modernity (e.g., its rejection or subsumption of previous types of
masculinity)
-The maintenance or disruption of homosocial order
-Typecasts of the ideal man or the rogue
