This research studies socio-cultural hegemony change focused on male society through contemporary ideal masculine images of Asian men (especially Korean and Chinese men). Participants were: South Korean men in and around Seoul and Chinese men in Beijing and Shanghai. The youngest survey participants in their 20's and the oldest in their 40's were asked about their present men's appearance images and masculinity as well as asked to evaluate satisfaction with their own style, and interest in fashion trends on a 5-point Likert scale. In this research, an ideal masculinity was tested by 6 characters (traditional masculinity, macho masculinity, androgynous masculinity, adolescent masculinity, trendy masculinity, and general masculinity) as male avatars. Asian men's consciousness of an ideal masculinity image has moved gradually from traditional masculinity to trendy masculinity, leading to new roles in a socio-cultural agenda. Korean and Chinese men are more interested in appearance and notice fashionable styles to be trendy that follow the latest fashion because most other Asian men reflect a traditional masculinity as an ideal appearance image.

The movie costumes may serve to change individuals'ego identity, shift a gender identity to another one and make multiple and plural gender identities shared. The unique identities shown in movies can influence the audience to the extent that they will imitate characters's costumes or appearance in their real life, replacing their inner, unrealizable and private fantasy with real one. The purpose of this study is to review the movies produced in 1930's and thereafter by categorizing the socio-cultural gender concepts into masculinity and feminity. Masculinity and Feminity are not attributions fixed by some physical characteristics, but it tends to be changed or expended by some social factors over time. In short, it may be a flexible, plural, individual and self-introspecive attribute. Movies present diverse types of masculinity and feminity, and in particular, the movie costumes specify them. In other words, the costumes may be model means expressing the masculinity and feminity, and the gender identities shown in the movies tend to be imitated, re-created or assumed by the audience. All in all, the movie costumes serve to take on the confrontation of masculinity and feminity between inner, unrealizable and private fantasy and external reality and thereby, expand it from internal to external issue and thus, change or reform masculinity and feminity.

본 연구의 목적은 그람시(Antonio Gramsci)가 언급한 대로 지배적 이념이 한 사회에 종속된 이들의 삶에 습관처럼 자리 잡고 있다는 헤게모니(hegemony) 개념을 통해서 디즈니 애니메이션에 나타난 남성성의 유형을 찾는데 있다. 그리고 코넬(R. W. Connell)은 그람시의 개념을 남성성과 연결시켜 헤게모니적 남성성(hegemonic masculinity)으로 발전시켰다. 헤게모니적 남성성은 한 국가나 사회에서 다른 남성과 여성을 종속하고 지배하려는 경향을 의미하는 것으로, 본 연구에서는 디즈니 애니메이션에 재현된 다양한 남성성을 구분하고, 특히 헤게모니적 남성성에 대한 이론적 접근을 다루고 있다. 한편 코넬의 네 가지 남성성의 분류는 남성 그룹이라는 범주에서 지배 그룹과 피지배 그룹으로 분리되어 있으며, 보다 세부적으로 헤게모니적 남성성, 종속적 남성성, 공모적 남성성, 그리고 주변화된 남성성으로 구분할 수 있다. 이러한 이론적 틀을 가지고 <미녀와 야수 Beauty and the Beast>(1991)에 나타난 지배적 남성성과 피지배적 남성성의 관계를 살펴본 결과, 개스턴(Gaston)과 야수는 헤게모니적 남성성을 소유하고 있으며, 그들 주변에 있는 남성들은 모두 공모적 남성성을 지니고 있다. 한편, 모리스(Maurice)는 지배 집단으로부터 거세된 종속적 남성성에 들어가게 되며, 야수는 헤게모니적 남성성과 주변화된 남성성 모두를 지닌 양가적 인물로 그려지고 있다. 이처럼 디즈니 속에 나타난 남성성은 헤게모니적 남성성을 기반으로 소프트바디에 의한 하드바디의 번복을 더디게 만들고 오히려 하드바디의 체제를 더욱 공고히 구축하고 있다.

Purpose: This study was to explore the meaning of masculinity in nursing by investigating how the male qualities are expressed in the culture of nursing wherein men represent a minority group. Methods: Connell's hegemonic masculinity theory (1987, 1995) and qualitative thematic analysis were used to conduct this study in which eight male nurses participated. Braun and Clarke's six stages of thematic analysis (2006) were used for data analysis. Results: The results indicated that masculinity in nursing meant 'soft masculinity' meeting the expectations of the discipline while keeping the male qualities intact. Male nurses were found to suppress their masculinity at earlier stages of their career and to make themselves more accommodating to the profession. However, males re-asserted their masculinity once they became more comfortable with their nursing work. Conclusion: In the field of nursing, masculinity was found to be subjected to stages of attenuating and consolidating which take place in succession. Consolidation of the male qualities was motivated rather unexpectedly by female colleagues. The results confirmed that the issue of gender in nursing is an important factor in recruiting and understanding male nurses in the future.

The purpose of this study is to typify femininity and masculinity represented in mainstream women's and men's fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 and infer sexual ideology appearing in contemporary Korean society by content analysis with the view of plural sexuality. For the content analysis total 259 editorial fashion photography was analyzed. As the result, 5 femininities and 5 masculinities were typified, and then sexual discourse was inferred out of the frequency of each type and texts with the images. On the basis of previous studies and historical considerations of this topic, the types of sexuality represented in mainstream fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 were classified as follow.: in women's fashion magazines Traditional Femininity and Androgynous Femininity were almost similarily dominant sexuality, and Glamor Femininity, Babydoll Femininity, and Genderless sexuality were alternative. Meanwhile, in men's fashion magazines Traditional Masculinity formed clear dominant sexuality, and Macho Masculinity, Androgynous Masculinity, Adolescent Masculinity, and Genderless sexuality were alternatives. In addition, Androgynous Masculinity in women's fashion magazines occupied the highest frequency, while Glamor Femininity in men's fashion magazines did so. From this sexual discourses represented in mainstream fashion magazines in Korea since 2000 are as follow.: First, mainstream fashion in Korea sticks to the modern values preserving traditional sexual ideology even in this postmodern period of the former 21C. Second, Androgynous Femininity as another dominant femininity with Traditional Femininity connotes the change of conception of femininity in Korean society. Third, Androgynous Masculinity to females is preferred, while femininity to males is still regarded as fetish or adorned object. Fourth, the appearance of various alternative sexualities leads to pluralization of sexuality, and then fashion gradually codifies youthfulness and feminine values, such as body and sexual desire more than before.

본 연구는 한국 경찰영화에 재현된 남성성의 특성과 그 심층적 의미를 2010년대를 중심으로 분석하였다. 이러한 분석 작업은 한국 사회에서 인식하고 있는 남성적인 이상형과 진정한 남성다움을 형상화하는 작업이 될 것이다. 그리고 이를 통해 한국 사회의 이상과 작동에 대해 접근할 수 있을 것이다. 그 결과 한국 경찰영화들은 정신적, 육체적 우월함으로 남성성을 과시하는 영화 속 주인공들을 통해 이상할 정도로 남성다움에 집착하는 한국 사회가 그리는 '남성 이상형'과 '무엇이 남성다운 행동인가'에 대한 기준을 제시한다. 그리고 거칠고 강한 남성의 육체적 승리를 통한 남성성 회복의 순간을 보여주는 결말을 통해 가부장제적 정상성에 대한 욕망을 드러내고 있다. 그 바탕에는 사회정의의 구현을 내세우면서 이를 위해서는 동원되어줄 필수적인 남성성의 존재가 필요하다는 것과 어느 정도의 희생을 감수해야 한다는 주장이 담겨있다.

This paper investigates whether white-collar masculinity can play a role in the life of a far-right activist. The current study employs the methods of psychosocial analysis devised by Wendy Hollway and Tony Jefferson. Using the case of a Japanese far-right activist, it explores how the hegemony and decline of "salaryman masculinity" in Japan interacted with his life. It draws attention to the suffering of white-collar men in their struggle to comply with hegemonic masculinity. These men's suffering tends to be overlooked due to their stable socio-economic status, but it can potentially play a role in their investment in far-right discourse.
