“…Traditional values and beliefs play an important role in the structure and legislation of Eswatini's society (Ndlovu, 2015). Ndlovu (2015) explains how Eswatini culture is deeply embedded across society, from the individual to the respected community system, with the polygamous king and his mother being powerful representatives of national culture and identity (Berner-Rodoreda et al, 2023). Eswatini's local governmental system is divided into 55 Tinkhundla and 385 chiefdoms, organised in different Tinkhundla, which form local, rural authorities and aim to work on a local community level (The Government of The Kingdom of Eswatini, 2021) (Dlamini, 2013).…”

Community leaders play an important role in the acceptance of public health services, but little is known about their willingness to facilitate HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) roll-out in Eswatini. We conducted in-depth interviews ( n = 25) with purposefully selected male and female community leaders in Eswatini. We analysed our data inductively using a thematic analysis approach. Community leaders feel they are important communicators of culturally appropriate PrEP messaging. Our participants described a complex social space within their communities influenced by religion, tradition, values, and HIV stigma. Community leaders use their position to provide leverage for unique, effective, and easily accessible messages and platforms to reach the community in a manner that ensures trust, relatability, familiarity, and shared faith. Community leaders feel that they are trusted and see trust manifesting in the conversations they are able to engage in, and have a reach that extends beyond formal health services. Existing PrEP programming should embed community leader participation in PrEP programming and engage the trust, knowledge, and potential of community leaders to support PrEP uptake and acceptance.

“…The portrayal of masculinity in the media and marketing, for example on product packaging, reinforces stereotypes and gender norms associated with hegemonic masculinity. Scholars have proposed alternative frameworks, such as cultural repertoires, to better capture the diversity and complexity of male experiences and expressions of masculinity beyond the traditional hegemonic model (Nayak, 2023;Curone-Prieto, La Parra-Casado, &Vives-Cases, 2022;Berner-Rodoreda et al, 2023).…”

Background In this paper we analyse the novel The End of Eddy by Édouard Louis. The motivation for this paper is Bourdeau’s (2020) observation that Louis’s book explores working class politics, sexuality, and masculinity. Methods We analysed the amendment through narrative content analysis, the application of which allows us to answer the following question: Édouard Louis’s novel The End of Eddy: A representation of hegemonic masculinity? Results We conclude that this narrative is built on contradictions that can be summarized as a conflict between a socio-cultural norm anchored in a French village and a person who does not fulfil this concept, who is outside of it. We believe that hegemonic masculinity, that is, one part of the cultural norm of a given village, causes Eddy’s inclination or consciousness of homonationalism. Thus, on the one hand, hegemonic masculinity is undoubtedly present in this novel; on the other hand, it forms a kind of background or socio-cultural environment which, although it defines itself against the given, unconsciously causes the “birth of the conscious homosexual”. Conclusions Thus, we dare to claim that the narrative under analysis is not only a representation of hegemonic masculinity, but also an accentuation of its external and internal influence on one’s own perception of (sexual) difference.

“…Masculinity is also used as a narrative to change views on hegemonic existence (Adams, 2022;Berner-Rodoreda et al, 2023;Vallerga & Zurbriggen, 2022). Knudsen and Andersen's (2020:74) exposure that masculinity is included in advertising branding strategies.…”

Abstract. Masculinity is a construction formed by society because of the expectations of men in society, so various forms of masculinity emerge. The Yakuza group is a group that is very synonymous with masculinity and is even referred to as the world of men. However, in reality, their masculine form shackles them in social interaction. The purpose of this study is to describe the forms of Yakuza masculinity so that there will be visible differences in the forms of masculinity between Yakuza and society in general. Yakuza masculinity has a general concept of masculinity, or is called hegemonic masculinity. However, forms of masculinity that are too extreme make their masculinity marginal. That happens because of differences in the interpretation of masculinity by society toward certain groups. The data is from images and dialogues representing Yakuza forms of masculinity in Gokusen manga. Data collection used a literature review technique, and data analysis used a qualitative descriptive technique. The findings suggest that masculinity owned by the Yakuza group represents a form of hegemonic masculinity, but the form of masculinity becomes a problem for its existence. The form of masculinity has a dual identity as a tool of legitimacy and a means of subordination to individuals and groupsKeywords: Hegemonic, Marginal Masculinity, Masculinity, Yakuza Masculinity, Yakuza
