This book brings together the emerging insights of what posthumanism,
new materialism and affect theory mean for ‘the man question’. The
contributors to this book interrogate the question of how ‘Man’ as
a gendered being is entangled with nature, culture, materiality and
corporeality, and they explore ways to unsettle men’s sense of
sovereignty to decentre anthropocentric masculinity. Men have to move
from the centre of privilege which grants them supremacy before they
can open themselves to the decentred, embodied, affective, vulnerable
and relational self that is necessary to embrace the posthuman. This
book explores the extent to which this is possible. The book will be
of interest to academics, students and scholars across a range of
disciplines who are engaging with the intersections of feminist
studies with posthumanism and new materialism, especially as they
relate to critical studies of men and masculinities. Chapters on
fathering, pornography, ageing, affect, embodiment, entanglements with
technology and nature and the implications of these issues for
changing men and masculinities and the politics of critical
masculinity studies’ engagement with posthuman feminisms will
interest students and academics across these diverse disciplines.
