Description

Introduction Masculinity, and gender more broadly, has been theorised as a series of performative and discursive acts (Butler, 1990) which are constituted contextually and culturally. Not only are masculinities enacted differently across cultures, they are also performed differently within groups of the same culture, and by individuals. Contemporary theorizing on young men and masculinities suggests that the life of young men in high schools is complex (Frank, 1997; Martino & Pallotta-Chiarolli, 2003). Recognizing that all discourse, knowledge, and practice is interwoven with and composed of agencies of power and privilege, we want to make visible the contradictions and tensions of the lived lives of young men in high school. The voices of the young men in this paper demonstrate that it may no longer be possible to assume that 'boys' and 'men' are unified categories. The intent is to highlight the practices of young men who have engaged counter-hegemonic masculinity in school. Of particular interest is not simply the act of resistance, but rather the various ways the contradictions and tensions of masculinities are (re)negotiated.
