Abstract:

This paper examines the intersection of masculinity and technology in Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, focusing on how virtual spaces like the OASIS serve as arenas for constructing and performing masculinity. Through the lenses of gamification, technological escape, and control over the virtual body, the novel presents a nuanced critique of how men navigate identity in a digital, hyperreal world. The study argues that Ready Player One not only reflects hegemonic masculine ideals but also reveals the vulnerabilities and limitations of such constructions in both real and virtual realms.

Abstract:

This article explores how men shape their masculine identities within the WhatsApp groups of cycling communities in Bandung, Indonesia, in particular how dominating masculinity is exhibited in the social interactions between members of WhatsApp groups and how this influences the formation of masculine identities. The comprehensive netnographic study conducted in this research, spanning from 2020 to 2023, discerns two distinct modes of interaction that underscore this association. In virtual chat groups, hegemonic masculinity is maintained through messages focusing on core cycling-related activ

Abstract:

Men’s experiences with digital media and social networking sites remain relatively underexplored. Here, we analyse the complex ways that men construct, represent and perform masculinity on a men’s body-positivity Tumblr blog called Body Positivity for Guys. Drawing on both hegemonic masculinity theory and inclusive masculinity theory’ we contribute to current theoretical discussions within the academic literature on masculinities, while extending these prominent debates to new virtual environments. In particular, we find that the interactions of the men on the blog demonstrate a consistent esc

The study examines how the TFM Girls Instagram account, along with its followers, shapes and maintains dominant discourses of masculinity. Mixed-method analyses revealed that women were depicted more in bikinis, posed in overtly sexually suggestive poses, excluded the women’s eyes and faces, and included predominately White, fit, big-breasted women. There was a positive correlation between the number of likes/comments with breast size. There were also instances of misogyny and objectification manifested in the men’s comments attached to the photographs. The results highlight Instagram as a dig

By looking at Twitter’s affordances and the dynamics in the alter community, I argue that the alter community is a site where Filipino perform and validate their masculinity.

Identity formation is a fundamental developmental task during adolescence, significantly influenced by how individuals are judged by others. In today’s digital age, such judgements increasingly occur in virtual settings, where the focus often shifts from the user to their virtual representation, or avatar. One of the most relevant frameworks for understanding the process of identity formation is Michael Berzonsky’s social-cognitive model of identity formation, which identifies three distinct identity processing styles: informational, normative, and diffuse-avoidant.

Abstract:

Gay men and the alt-right appear ideologically opposed. The alt-right holds up an ideal of the hegemonic man–cishet, powerful, domineering, casting out anything antithetical to the model. Gay men appear to violate this ideal since queer identity is a sign of weakened masculinity, blurring the clearly defined categories of man and woman. The existence of gay men within alt-right circles challenges this incongruence. To explain such a discrepancy, this paper uses the theory of hegemonic masculinity to argue that the alt-right has begun to shift its definition towards a particular focus on homoso

One of the objectives of using fiction as a medium of socialization of children is to infuse an understanding of gender roles in society.

Globalisation and the staggering advance of technology have triggered innovative fictional responses to gender roles and attitudes to appeal to the digital generation addicted to virtual reality and video games.

Pada dunia virtual baru yang dibawanya, mengharuskan manusia setiap orang untuk meniscayakan dirinya mampu berinteraksi dengan berbagai media baru secara aktif. Hal ini bukan semata dilakukan sebagai penyaluran ekspresi identitas individu atau kelompok, akan tetapi yang lebih penting adalah bagaimana setiap individu atau kelompok memanfaatkan media baru sebagai tempat untuk melakukan bermacam gerakan dan pembebasan atas dirinya. Fenomena media baru tidak dapat sepenuhnya dipahami tanpa membawa masalah gende

Abstract:

I examine portrayals of digital media and technology in Barbie, analysing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) symbolism in conjunction with the film's thematic commentaries on gender and contemporary affects. I draw my theoretical framework from Tracey Mollet's conceptualisation of twenty-first-century American nostalgia and Donna Haraway's iconic discussion of the cyborg, tracing all appearances of digital screens and devices, media franchises, computer software and virtual platforms in the film. I demonstrate that Barbie consistently associates ICT with toxic masculinity and corru

Abstract:

Otome games are virtual romance games in which the player takes on the role of a female character and interacts with several male characters. This type of game initially originated in Japan has gradually become a hit in China in recent years. "Love and Deepspace" is the latest achievement of the current domestic otome games. From their appearance to their professional status, the female characters in this game are independent and mature individuals. Also, the plot and lines are more powerful than those in previous games of the same genre where the female characters used to be delicate and vuln

Abstract:

Human faces play a central role in our lives. Thanks to our behavioural capacity to perceive faces, how a face looks in a painting, a movie, or an advertisement can dramatically influence what we feel about them and what emotions are elicited. Facial information is processed by our brain in such a way that we immediately make judgements like attractiveness or masculinity or interpret personality traits or moods of other people. Due to the importance of appearance-driven judgements of faces, this has become a major focus not only for psychological research, but for neuroscientists, artists, eng

Abstract:

Adminship in the Wikipedia community represents a specific kind of organizing activity of a virtual community of practice. It requires a high level of trust amongst the users and the engagement of an admin in the life of the community as a non-paid function, which is significant in terms of sharing and creating knowledge in the form of the content of Wikipedia. As in every form of human cooperation, it is subject to the cultural influences of the country, whose language version it represents. The aim of the research was to distinguish and describe the characteristics of the adminship and admin

Abstract:

Prostate cancer is the leading cause of malignancy in Colombian men. Early detection through the combination of prostate antigen and digital rectal examination has been important; however, men refuse digital rectal examination on account of discomfort, embarrassment and fear of detection of cancer, among others. Therefore, this study aimed to describe and analyze the knowledge and perceptions of the Colombian male population regarding digital rectal examinations. A descriptive study was conducted through an anonymous and virtual survey of adult men between 2023 and 2024. The survey included va

Abstract:

Both historically and at present, the sociopolitical landscape of Latin America has been mired in the monoculture of machismo: an arborescent violence ingrained throughout processes of male subjectivation that precede any consciousness of its consequences on the capacity for life and for alterity to flourish. Its influence, formative of the culture it occupies, and necrotic in its effects, remains hegemonic in both its prevalence and invisibility in the lives of many. In the face of this condition, this article asks how alternative processes of male subjectivation can be affirmed and directed

Abstract:

“Gay, bi, trans, and queer” chat and dating apps, since explicitly addressed to sexual categories, are inevitably permeated by “sex”, even though this word rarely appears in the presentations of these applications. This omission is quite significant, since it establishes a strict code of interpretation and use for many of these apps, which usually promote a one-to-one heteronormative mode of interaction, in which sexuality, rather than a social bond, is intensively privatized and exclusive. The architecture of these apps deceptively seems to promote both the identity of the single user and the

Introduction. The specialized literature has drawn attention to youth dynamics in online environments, highlighting new relational spaces where traditional offline youth leisure interactions have been transferred. Among these practices, two main ones stand out: the reproduction of gender-based violence in digital spaces, and the use of social networking sites linked to alcohol consumption as an emerging topic of research. Based on this theoretical development, the confluence of such violence and problematic consumption is beginning to emerge as a new field of study. This article presents part

The analysis of Lithuanian student songs focuses on two compositions that have been favored by students for quite a long time, travelling between European universities orally (at least in part) and sometimes even radically changing their shape.One of these songs is entitled Krambambuli (that is also the name of a strong liquor).
