Image via WikipediaI mentioned last time that I have learned a lot about men's studies, but I didn't get into the actual sources. I'm almost finished with my annotated bibliography, and here are a few of the more interesting sources.Brod, Harry, ed. The Making of Masculinities: The New Men's Studies. Boston: Allyn and Unwin, 1987. Like many of the books I found, this one is not terribly recent, but it was very helpful in understanding the way men's studies developed and its connections to other gender-based theories. (It's a collection of articles, so I got several entries for my bib. Yay!)
Cohan, Steven and Ina Rae Hark. Screening the Male : Exploring Masculinities in Hollywood Cinema. New York : Routledge, 1993. This is interesting, especially with the ongoing changes in how American culture shifts with regard to how it defines masculinity and concepts related to masculinity.
Lehman, Peter. Masculinity: Bodies, Movies, Culture. New York:
Routledge, 2001. It's amazing to me how many scholarly books there are about men and film. This one has some different ideas than the two above, and it really helped me get at how to write about film using this critical approach.
Powrie, Phil and Ann Davies. The Trouble with Men: Masculinities in European and Hollywood Cinema. London: Wallflower Press, 2004. Not finished looking at this one yet, but I have great hopes--the Bond films are not actually Hollywood films, so I need material on that.
