• W213408030 abstract "1 When he died in 2011, Lawrence R. Schehr leftbehind a peerless interdisciplinary body of work. His monographs and journal articles were in areas as diverse as gender and queer studies, literature from nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well as French language, culture and civilization. Although title French Post-Modern Masculinities gives impression that monograph will address entire post-modern period, Schehr concentrates on last twenty years. As he explains French Post-Modern Masculinities, his latest monograph, sets out to examine changes in representations and depictions of masculinity and masculine sexualities in contemporary era of France (1).2 In first chapter, Work of Literature in an Age of Queer Reproduction, Schehr puts into conversation literary works of Guillaume Dustan and Erik Remes, analyzing impact of bareback or unsafe sex on subject formation. Through an incisive reading of literary works of these two authors, he argues that the pursuit of sexual pleasure has to take precedence over everything else, and, indeed, that definition of self comes only from one's body, from that of another (or others), from sexualization of masculinity as be-all and end-all of being (29). Neuromatrices and Networks is second chapter and it examines French graphic novels which are involved in reorienting post-modern masculine condition. His interpretation of attacks against World Trade Center in book Villa Vortex by Maurice Dantec is particularly enthralling. He compellingly contends that the destruction of that building is not destruction of knowledge itself; attack is against institutions that organize knowledge and ultimately do not distinguish between knowledge and nonsense, those institutions that also turn knowledge into a kind of propaganda for death and destruction, for collectivization and for emasculation (79). This ominous vision of masculinity is further developed in third chapter, Topographies of Queer Popular Culture, in which Schehr examines several filmic and literary autofictions. The overarching argument in this chapter is that modern technology and AIDS play an important role in enacting contemporary crisis of masculinity. Perversions of Real, ultimate chapter, deals with essay writings of right leaning and heterosexual writers such as Michel Houellebecq and Marc-Edouard Nabe. Schehr discusses manner in which political discourses infiltrate literary works of these writers with images that invoke a reimagining of sexuality and masculinity.3 Drawing on Michel Foucault's philosophical oeuvre, French Post-Modern Masculinities attempts to contextualize theoretically current state of masculine subject as an individual. Employing Foucault's notion of social constructivism as elaborated in The History of Sexuality, Schehr shows, by way of a solid historical analysis, how present masculine subject has come to be constructed. He starts from post-Enlightenment period in which there is an initial rise of subject as an individual. His linear historical examination ends in post-human period (10) characterized by centrality of AIDS and Internet. This post-human period marks an end of independence of subject as an individual given fact that individual is no longer entirely himself. …" @default.
