9 9. The term ‘political masculinities’ was introduced in 2014 by the gender researchers Birgit Sauer and Kathleen Starck. In the introduction to their anthology A Man’s World? Political Masculinities in Literature and Culture (Newcastle: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014), pp. 3–10, they take a cultural-theoretical approach and define the term as ‘[e]ncompass[ing] any kind of masculinity that is constructed around, ascribed to and/or claimed by “political players”. These are individuals or groups of persons who are part of or associated with the “political domain”, i.e., professional politicians, party members, members of the military as well as citizens and members of political movements claiming or gaining political rights’ (p. 6). In the preface to their collection Political Masculinities and Social Transition (special issue of Men and Masculinities 22 (2019), pp. 3–19), Kathleen Starck and Russell Luyt use the term ‘political masculinities’ to denote broader contexts of social transition: ‘Whilst we fully agree that gender, and masculinities, are inextricably political concepts in the (re)production of power, the concept of political masculinities can usefully be applied in instances in which power is explicitly either being (re)produced or challenged’ (p. 10). Overall, these concepts of ‘political masculinities’ are far broader and based on a more consistent theory than the concept of political masculinity, as I understand it and analyse it in this book. This is clear to see in the most recent anthology edited by Starck and Luyt, Masculine Power and Gender Equality: Masculinities as Change Agents (Cham: Springer, 2020). Here, instead of focusing exclusively on hegemonic masculinity, the authors include, in their understanding of political masculinities, the concept of ‘change agents for gender equality’.
