- W299464345 abstract "by Jonathan Watson. Buckingham: Open University Press, 2000, 170 pp.The interdisciplinary study of men's and illness from a perspective that takes into account is a recent intellectual endeavor. Women's movements emerged along with the Second Wave feminisms in the 1960s and 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s that a handful of men's studies practitioners began to explore how influenced the of boys and men. Men's studies gathered momentum during the 1990s and scholars recognized that multiple masculinities were operating within and across cultures in ways the shaped men's behaviors and outcomes. Relational theories of and emerged in the late 1990s, which conceptualized the interconnections between men's and women's and illness. And most recently, a multi-national network of researchers has been conducting a comparative analysis of men's in Europe, and conferences on men's are being held in several countries.Though progress in men's studies has been made since the 1980s, the study of gender and health is still largely equated to the study of women's in both academic and policy circles. The current study of men's is also burdened by an abundance of theory and paucity of evidence-based research. Most men's researchers still work outside supportive professional networks, and only a few have entered education and public dialogues. Put simply, the intellectual legs of men's studies are up and running, but we have not traveled far down the road.It is within this context that the contributions of Jonathan Watson's book, Male Bodies: Health, Culture and Identity, can be appreciated. The author combines 15 years of professional experience in public and promotion with a degree of theoretical sophistication that deepens current understanding of men's and illness. Watson successfully amalgamates diverse elements of anthropology, cultural studies, epidemiology, studies, philosophy, and sociology into a theoretical framework centered on the concepts of embodiment and social practice. The result is the most comprehensive, yet probing, analysis of men's to date. Be advised that the theoretical intricacy and intellectual depth in this book do not make for an easy read, but readers will find that the journey is worth the effort. The book not only broadened my understanding of and illness in men's lives, but it has also helped me be a better listener and observer of the men (and women) in my own research.Watson's goal is to understand the ways that masculinity and operate within the social practices that constitute men's day-to-day lives. He discusses several dominant perspectives that shape men's including the biomedical paradigm, sociostructural theories, epidemiology and risk discourse, feminist perspecfives, and men's studies analyses of masculinities. He taps Robert Connell's work on the structure of in an effort to locate and map the dynamic synergies between sociocultural processes, masculinities, social practice, the body, and men's health. Watson critiques the deterministic thinking that inheres in biomedical models of and, more subtly, in some of the writings on culture and the body (e. …" @default.
