Embodied Heterosexual Masculinities, Part 2: Foregrounding Men's Health and Emotions: Foregrounding men's health and emotions

This paper extends our previous discussion on embodied heterosexual masculinities, men's emotional lives and health (Monaghan and Robertson 2011). First, we foreground writings on men's health within and outside of heterosexual relationships given the interrelations between masculinities and other structures (e.g. the political economy). Second, we critically consider writings on masculinities, male bodies and emotions in a relational context. In conclusion, we underscore the need for future research. Such research would foreground men's corporeal meanings, practices and relations while also critiquing global neoliberalisation, a pernicious process that impacts everyday lives within and beyond heterosexual configurations of body-reflexive practice.
