Boyhood Studies

This article examines the early development of social gender norms in children, emphasizing how family and school environments influence their attitudes and gender expectations. It centers on the KINDER project, active from 2021 to 2023, which aimed to address gender stereotypes in early childhood and elementary education. Drawing on theories by Althusser and Freire, it suggests transformative educational practices to challenge existing norms. Utilizing methods such as focused interviews and quantitative research, the project devises an inclusive approach with educational resources and campaigns promoting empathy, nurturing masculinities, and diversity in curricula. The article underscores the ongoing necessity for initiatives to cultivate more equitable and inclusive educational environments.

Will Boys Be Boys? Be KINDER

男孩会一直是男孩吗？要更友善

In the wake of feminist reshaping and postcolonial interrogation of the adventure genre, this article investigates men/boys in the Indian adventure narratives for children to decode what society wishes to be, what it wishes to be seen as, and what it unconsciously reveals itself to be in the areas of masculinity and manliness. Content analysis of the Indian children’s adventure stories in English (ICLE) and Gujarati languages (CLG) is undertaken by grounding the framework of hegemonic masculinity in the Indian context. The conclusions reveal myriad strategies employed by hegemonically gendered texts to adhere to the wide spectrum of hegemonic masculinity and by non-hegemonically gendered ones to interrogate, invert, ridicule, and replace these ideals. These conclusions underline the importance of examining masculinity as a location of gender politics.

Abstract This article examines how the commodity cycle of natural gas alters the aspirations of youth working in the informal sector. Focusing on the gas industry in Mtwara, Tanzania, this article explores how the development of the industry influences the work aspirations of young men seeking financial independence. Drawing from ethnographic research, participant observation, and interviews with young men between 2020 and 2022, I demonstrate how working as motorcycle taxi drivers during the “gas rush” availed young men a newfound respectability linked to their upward socioeconomic mobility, a key marker in their transition to adulthood. As one of the more accessible and lucrative livelihoods, this article demonstrates how becoming a motorcycle driver acted as a transient conduit in their dual transitions from school to work and transitions from young men to adults.

Young Men's Livelihoods in “Waiting”

年轻男性的生计在“等待”中

Abstract Masculinity constructions and experiences among black/African adolescent boys in Global South contexts have often been studied from a conceptual framework based on issues, vulnerabilities, and troubles in ways that obscures these boys’ resilient and agential capabilities through which they resist vulnerable masculinity. In this article, we draw upon data from qualitative interviews to explore the experiences and constructions of vulnerable and resilient masculinities among schoolboys heading child-headed homes in a poverty context in a South African township. In demonstrating how vulnerable and resilient masculinities manifest among these boys, we suggest how the emerging vulnerabilities could be addressed towards strengthening their resilience.
