"Masculinities and Culture explores how 'masculinities', or ways of 'being a man', are anchored in time and place; the products of socio-historical and cultural circumstances. It examines the emergence of a masculinity fit for Empire in the mid to late nineteenth century and, by way of contrast, the more recent media-driven, commercial New Man and New Lad masculinity. The author considers some of the media discourses shaping masculinities today, and the formation of specific masculinities in specific settings (such as prisons, hospitals and schools) which both define, and in turn are defined by, strongly held conceptions of acceptable masculine behaviour. He concludes by reviewing a range of ways in which masculinities might by researched, from fieldwork and auto/​biographical and life history approaches through to semiotics and the use of both film and literary texts.This lively text provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary debates concerning masculinities as gendered construction, along with the means of researching and theorizing them."

"This paper addresses issues related to family caregiving, as one of the areas of caregiving in which problems are currently arising in Japan. Family caregiving is presently inseparable from the gender relationship between men as the breadwinners and women as the caregivers. The perspective of gender equality is therefore extremely important when discussing issues related to family caregiving. This paper focuses on the increasing number of male caregivers in Japan, and looks at the actual circumstances of caregiving by male caregivers to investigate what significance the increase in male caregivers may have for achieving gender equality in family caregiving. As men engage in caregiving, they are forced to confront their own masculinities. The difficulties that they experience demonstrate that care and masculinities are not simply conflicting aspects of their identities. In order to achieve gender equality in family care-giving, it is necessary to carefully decipher the complex interplay between care and masculinities. "
