PENETRATION abstract<br />

I want to penetrate men, want to reach their inner spirit, to<br />

understand...<br />

I have choose to place the focus for my study in the western<br />

capitalistic cultures of today and my tool for examining them is<br />

critical macro sociological analysis of discourse.<br />

I have also chosen to focus on men and masculinities,<br />

my question being: Does men’s bodies exist? And if<br />

so, how?<br />

Why are men afraid of being penetrated – where lies the<br />

danger?<br />

While exploring men and masculinities I discuss terms<br />

of body, desire, activity and subjectivity, always with a strong<br />

foundation of thoughts from Judith Butler and Michel Foucault<br />

amongst others.<br />

I hope that this study succeeds to, in some matters, unveil the<br />

man.<br />

To open him up and, in fact, to penetrate.<br />

Hemlighållande är för makten inte något<br />

missbruk, det är nödvändigt för att den<br />

skall kunna fungera.<br />

Michel Foucault
