Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Performing American Masculinities The 21st-Century Man in Popular Culture Edited by Elwood Watson and Marc E. Shaw "Performing American Masculinities focuses usefully on a range of specific anxieties related to masculinity, including those created by differences of race and sexuality, as well as of non-normative gender subjectivities." ‹David Buchbinder, Curtin University of Technology This collection highlights the fluidity of masculinity in American popular culture at the turn of the new millennium and beyond by examining possibilities for male identity formation. Each chapter mines American popular culture‹theatre, film, literature, music, advertising, internet content, television, photography, and current events‹to pose questions about the process of gender creation and the contestation of masculinities as constantly changing political forms. The first section explores masculinities within late capitalism and includes studies of Seinfeld, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and reality television. The second section addresses identity when masculinity intersects with race, religion, disability, and sexuality, including chapters on Barack Obama, the O.J. trial, and popular movies. 252 pp. cloth 978-0-253-35573-7 $70.00 paper 978-0-253-22270-1 $24.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22270 -1 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 ------------------- Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) Spring sale! 2,000+ books, up to 70% off Order online: http://iupress.indiana.edu ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
