Abstract

ABSTRACT There is a scarcity of scholarly attention to women’s perspectives of militarized masculinities in the home. As a result, we used semi-structured interviews to examine the perspectives of 16 women partnered with members in combat arms occupations in the Canadian Armed Forces on militarized masculinities in the home. We used poststructural feminist theory and feminist methodologies to inform our approach. Through a critical discourse analysis of the interviews, we identified that displays of militarized masculinities are discursively positioned as problematic in the home and around family. Our findings suggest that the home is a space where militarized masculinities are contested.

家里的军事化男子气概:“我不是你的战友——我是你的妻子”

学术界对女性在家庭中军事化的男性气质的看法缺乏关注。因此，我们采用半结构化访谈的方式，考察了加拿大武装部队中16名与战斗武器职业成员合作的女性对家庭中军事化男性气质的看法。我们使用后结构女性主义理论和女性主义方法来指导我们的研究。通过对访谈的批判性话语分析，我们发现军事化男性气质的表现在家庭和家庭周围被话语定位为有问题的。我们的研究结果表明，家庭是一个争夺军事化男子气概的空间。

期刊介绍： NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
