“…The Give 'Em Hell men emit an aura of aggression and violence and use it to obtain sex from women. Since Brannon's study, other versions of masculine gender ideals and dominant male gender norms have appeared (Connell 1995;Doyle 1994;Gerzon 1992). Kimmel (2001) unearths the historical roots of masculine ideals in the United States.…”

“…Indeed few social processes, perhaps apart from global climate change, are fully global. Indeed, for this and other reasons, transnationalization often seems a more accurate and broader framework than globalization (Hearn, 2004b(Hearn, , 2015, and one within which more specific analyses, such as transnational business masculinities (Connell, 1998) can be located. Considering women, men and further genders globally and transnationally means recognizing both stable transnational patterns and transnational processes of flux, especially in this historical period.…”

“…There have been various analyses of 'business masculinities' (Connell and Wood, 2005) and 'transnational business masculinity' (Connell, 1998): seen as a globally mobile form of masculinity marked by "increasing egocentrism, very conditional loyalties (even to the corporation), and a declining sense of responsibility for others (except for purposes of imagemaking)." It differs from "traditional bourgeois masculinity by its increasingly libertarian sexuality, with a growing tendency to commodify relations with women."…”

SummaryEven though gender and gender analysis are still often equated with women, men and masculinities are equally gendered. This applies throughout society, including within organizations. Following 2 pioneering feminist scholarship on work and organizations, explicitly gendered studies on men and masculinities have increased since the 1980s. The need to include the gendered analysis of men and masculinities as part of gender studies of organizations, leadership and management, is now widely recognized at least within gender research. Yet, this insight continues to be ignored or downplayed in mainstream work and even in some studies seen as 'critical'. Indeed the vast majority of mainstream work on organizations still has either no gender analysis whatsoever or relies on a very simplistic and crude gender analysis.Research on men and masculinities has been wide-ranging and has raised important new issues about gendered dynamics in organizations, including: cultures and counter-cultures on factory shopfloors; historical transformations of men and management in reproducing patriarchies; the relations of bureaucracy, men and masculinities; management-labour relations as interrelations of masculinities; managerial and professional identity formation; managerial homosociality; and the interplay of diverse occupational masculinities. Research has revealed how structures, cultures and practices of men and masculinities continue to persist and to dominate in many contemporary organizations. Having said this, the concepts of gender, of men and masculinities, and of organization have all been subject to complex and contradictory processes that entail both their explicit naming and their simultaneous deconstruction and critique. This is illustrated, respectively, in: the intersectional construction of gender; the pressing need to name men as men in analysis of organizational dominance, but also deconstruct the category of men as provisional; and in the multiplication of organizational forms as, for example, inter-organizational relations, net-organizations, and cyberorganizations.These contradictory historical and conceptual namings and deconstructions are especially important in the analysis of transnational organizations operating within the context of globalization, transnationalizations, production, reproduction, and trans(national)patriarchies. Within transnational organizations such as large gendered multinational enterprises, the taken-forgranted nature of transnational gendered hierarchies and cultures persists in management, maintained partly through commonalities across difference, gendered horizontal specializations and controls. Transnational organizations are key sites for the production of a variety of developing forms of (transnational) business masculinities, some more individualistic, some marriage-based, some nation-based, some transcending nation. These masculinities have clear implications for gendered practices in private spheres, including the provision of domestic servicing often by black and minor...

“…Therefore we must consider the social settings, each with its own embedded type of hegemonic masculinity and patriarchal dividends, in which gender is enacted (Connell and Messerschmidt 2005). In alignment with increasing economic globalization and neo-liberalism, transnational business masculinity is often considered the globally dominant form of masculinity (Connell 1998, Connell andWood 2005). Business masculinity is characterized by authority (or control over subordinates) based on the impersonal and technical rationality of management (Kerfoot and Knights 1998).…”

Rock and roll or rock and fall? Gendered framing of the rock and roll lifestyles of Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty in British broadsheets

Combining insights from gender, popular music, and celebrity studies, this article addresses to what extent British broadsheets frame Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty differently with regard to their rock and roll lifestyle. Our content analyses of The Guardian and The Independent indicate clear gender differences. First, Doherty's excessive behavior is often framed in positive terms (rock and roll), while the media discuss Winehouse's conduct more negatively (rock and fall). Second, British newspaper journalists admire Doherty's courage to lead such a lifestyle, oftentimes justifying -or even negating -his behavior, arguing he is an independent individual or even a hero. Such adoration is absent when Winehouse's escapades are reported on; most articles treat her as a victim, expressing concern regarding her poor health. As such, our findings show how music journalists use relational complicit practices -admiration/justification/negation of male and victimization of female enactment of hegemonic masculinity -to maintain masculine monopoly over the archetypical rock and roll lifestyle.
