The paper shows the ambivalences and contradictions, in terms of male honour, involved in the new migration towards the UK. Specifically, it shows how the crossing of multiple borders, as well as their arrival and stabilisation in political-territorial contexts that were socio-historically constructed by colonialism as prestigious and wealthy areas, may increase the symbolic capital and male honour of male Bangladeshi migrants. However, if this experience increases their symbolic, gendered and social credentials, it also implies trajectories of professional, biographical, and social downgrading that compromise their image and position as ‘successful’ men.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48534578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It conceptualises ‘caring masculinities’ along a continuum that encompasses ‘less-caring’ and ‘more-caring’ practices at each extreme, both shaped by men's perceptions of their intersecting identities as husbands and fathers. This draws on the concept of ‘caring’ in feminist moral philosophy and on sociological approaches to ‘masculinity’ to analyse empirical evidence of Khmer men’s childcare practices in Cambodia. The development of a continuum of caring masculinity enables us to investigate the extent to which, and the way in which, men are engaged in ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ care in their childcare practices, alongside their breadwinning roles. The empirical data are based on qualitative, in-depth interviews with 26 young fathers and 26 young mothers who have at least one young child aged six or younger and who reside in either urban or rural settings in Cambodia.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"18 1","pages":"191 - 206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41588117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Masculinity studies – more relevant than ever?","authors":"Ulf Mellström","doi":"10.1080/18902138.2023.2238990","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/18902138.2023.2238990","url":null,"abstract":"In this editorial, which is my last in the role of editor-in-chief for Norma, I wanted to provide some short reflections on the development of the journal in connection to the overall field of masculinity studies. I will make some cuts in the history of the journal that hopefully speak to the wider debates in the field. Norma was founded in 2006 and I have been editing the journal since then in close cooperation with several excellent colleagues, editors in chief and managing editors over the years (Lucas Gottzén 2010–2018, Sebastian Mohr 2018–2021, Sam de Boise 2018 to the present, KatarzynaWojnicka 2020 to the present). I have also worked closely with several fantastic editorial secretaries that have managed all the editorial everyday practicalities that belong to run a journal (Jennie Olofsson 2006–2010, Caroline Wamala 2006–2014, Marinette Grimbeek 2014–2020, Luca Tainio 2019 to the present). We have generously been supported by a group of co-editors which are international and world leading scholars such as JeffHearn (2014–), Raewyn Connell (2014–2022) and Ann-Dorte Christensen (2014–). This core group, which in different capacities, has developed Norma to the standards of an international and leading journal in the field of masculinity studies or critical studies of men and masculinities, has been supported by a large group of scholars in their roles as book review editors, members of the editorial board and the advisory board, and last but not least all the excellent reviewers that have helped us to raise this journal to excellent heights. The journal has over the years received financial support from Luleå University of Technology 2006–2011 and Karlstad University from 2011 until now, and we have good hopes that the faculty of the Humanities and Social Science at Karlstad University will continue to support Norma in the future. When the journal was founded in 2006, the idea came from the, at the time, coordinator for studies of men and masculinities at the Nordic Institute for Women’s Studies and Gender Research (NIKK), (Knut Oftung) with support from the Nordic Association of Studies of Men and Masculinities (NFMM). NFMM is still the owner of the journal. Between 2006 and 2014, the journal had a mixed language policy and published articles in English and the three Scandinavian languages, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish. During these formative 8 years, the journal was published by the Norwegian publisher Universitetsforlaget. In 2014, we changed publishers to the global publishing house Taylor & Francis and went from being a Nordic journal to an international journal with a global scope. During the years as a Nordic journal, we published two issues per year, and we had an intention to reach out to practitioners and a wider public interested in masculinity studies. The emphasis on the Nordic context had grown out of a lively masculinity studies community in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. The journal was launched after years ","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"18 1","pages":"155 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45217612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There exists a significant and steadily expanding body of diverse empirical and theoretical work on boys, men and masculinities which speaks to the particular geoand socio-political spaces. In the main, South African researchers of boys, men and masculinities address themselves to domestic affairs, with some of the work evidencing direct and necessary links to community engagement and activism. There is, however, a vein of scholarship directed towards transnational interests and theoretical issues. It is always difficult to identify key moments – including the beginning – for any body of scholarship work within a particular context. Posed in question form, what was the inaugurating moment of critical studies on men and masculinity (CSMM) in South Africa and what have been the important milestones from which we can learn if we desire to sustain and develop the field? These are interesting points of reflection since there was work on men and masculinities in South Africa in earlier years that was not located in CSMM (e.g. see Campbell, 1992; Lemon, 1995; Meintjies, 1991; Moodie, 1988). But we ought not to minimise the fact that, like other aspects of South African life, and perhaps of all our disrupted and entangled lives under coloniality – knowledge production was almost exclusively produced by white academics, with black people excluded or severely hindered from educational opportunities. Be that as it may, the inauguration of studies on masculinities in South Africa can be dated to 1997, three yers after the advent of consitutional democracy. In July of that year the International Colloquium on Masculinities was held at the then University of Natal (now University of Kwazulu Natal) – a gathering which, arguably, has a claim to be the avowed beginning of CSMM in South Africa. Since then we have borne witness to and been part of a steadily growing turn to boys, men and masculinities (see Morrell, 2020). A notable range of books, journal special editions, and other scholarly work, in general, has since been generated in this particular nation-state which can be used in marking scholarly time (to cite a few of the special editions, volumes and books: Langa, 2020; Mfecane, 2018; Morrell, 2001a; Ouzgane & Morrell, 2005; Ratele, 2016, 2022; Shefer, Ratele, Strebel, Shabalala, & Buikema, 2007; Swartz & Bhana, 2009).","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"18 1","pages":"72 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42702395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we draw attention to men and issues related to masculinities in the context of climate change discussions related to these two countries.

Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork, this article explores how Japanese gay men consume and understand K-pop. I destabilize assumptions common to the literature on Japanese fandom for K-pop concerning male idols’ soft masculinity by critically investigating how gay Japanese K-pop fans position Korean masculinity as ‘beastly.’ I particularly investigate how gay fans situate Korean masculinity within the socio-semiotic system of ‘Typing’ that structures Japan’s gay culture. I demonstrate that, counter to common-sense assumptions of K-Pop idols’ softness which circulate in Japan, Japanese gay fans instead focus on their ‘hardness’ to strategically differentiate their desires for male K-Pop idols from those of heterosexual female consumers. In yearning for ‘beastly’ Korean masculinity, Japanese gay K-pop fans thus explicitly reject the valorization of masculine cuteness found throughout Japanese mainstream media.","PeriodicalId":37885,"journal":{"name":"NORMA","volume":"18 1","pages":"224 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42853707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
