Abstract

The concept of hegemonic masculinity has influenced gender studies across many academic fields but has too attracted serious criticism. The authors trace the origin of the concept in a convergence of ideas in the early 1980s and map the ways it was applied when research on men and masculinities expanded. Evaluating the principal criticisms, the authors defend the underlying concept of masculinity, which in most inquiry apply is neither reified nor essentialist. Nevertheless, the criticism of trait models of gender and rigid typologies is sound. The treatment of the subject in research on hegemonic masculinity can exist improved with the assist of recent psychological models, although limits to discursive flexibility must be recognized. The concept of hegemonic masculinity does not equate to a model of social reproduction; we need to recognize social struggles in which subordinated masculinities influence dominant forms. Finally, the authors review what has been confirmed from early formulations (the idea of multiple masculinities, the concept of hegemony, and the emphasis on change) and what needs to exist discarded (one-dimensional handling of hierarchy and trait conceptions of gender). The authors suggest reformulation of the concept in 4 areas: a more than complex model of gender hierarchy, emphasizing the agency of women; explicit recognition of the geography of masculinities, emphasizing the interplay amongst local, regional, and global levels; a more than specific treatment of apotheosis in contexts of privilege and power; and a stronger emphasis on the dynamics of hegemonic masculinity, recognizing internal contradictions and the possibilities of motion toward gender republic.
