The Male Body in Medicine and Literature by Andrew Mangham
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 MB
Overview: Contrary to what Simone de Beauvoir famously argued in 1949, men have not lived without knowing the burdens of their sex. Though men may have been elevated to cultural positions of strength and privilege, it has not been without intense scrutiny of their biological functions. Investigations of
male potency and the ‘ability to perform’ have long been mainstays of social, political, and artistic discourse and have often provoked spirited and partisan declarations on what it means to be a man. This interdisciplinary collection considers the tensions that have developed between the historical
privilege often ascribed to the male and the vulnerabilities to which his body is prone.
