Many Canonical Literary Worksthink Of Thoreau, Melville, Hemingway, Faulknerlook To The Wild As The Site For Establishing A Mans Selfhood. But Nature Is Just As Often Subjected To His Most Violent Displays Of Mastery.This Tension Lies At The Heart Of Ecoman, Which Brings Together Two Rapidly Growing Fields: Mens Studies And Ecocriticism. The Two Disciplines Have Rarely If Ever Touched On Each Other; Brought Together, Mens Studies Is Freed From Its Typical Limitation Of An Exclusively Urbancentered Perspective, While Ecocriticism Engages An 'Ecomasculine' Lens Through Which To View The Field. The Books Contents Are Diverse, But The Contributors All Challenge Our Idea Of Masculinity As Merely The Social Code Of Patriarchy. By Complicating Our Cultural Notions Of Nature And Masculinity, The Volumes Twenty Essays Question Whether We Can Construct A Notion Of Manhood Around Ecological Principles And Practicesand If So, What This Would Look Like, And How It Would Enrich Mens Studies.The Varied Assembly Of Contributors To Ecomanincluding Historians, Philosophers, Poets, Both Male And Femalehave All Written With The General Reader In Mind.
