Setting new standards in assessing how masculinity in Argentina has been represented in film, literature and music, this collection untangles Argentinian construction of masculinity, manhood and gendered difference from the nineteenth century to the present. With methodologies ranging from literary analysis of novels to historical approaches to the construction and performance of gender, these essays offer a dramatic, new multidisciplinary approach to modern Argentinian masculinity.
