Masculinities and Discourses of Men's Health

Book Overview

This book brings together a collection of original and methodologically diverse case studies which examine discourses sitting at the interface of health and masculinity. The chapters provide coverage of a broad spectrum of health-related themes, including mental health, sexual health, eating disorders, gender identity, coronavirus, cosmetic advertising, migration, and medicalized masculinities. The volume addresses the intersectional nature of language, gender, health and other aspects of identity. The book also addresses a diverse range of communicative contexts, including online forums, interviews and life histories, advertising, sex educational material, migrant integration classes, and suicide notes. This book will be relevant to linguists with an interest in health and/or gender (masculinities), as well as other humanities and social science disciplines concerned with discourse, such as psychology, media studies and cultural studies.
