Abstract

This essay draws on Judith Butler's potent analysis of melancholy gender and refused identification (1997a, 132-66) in an examination of some Australian academic literature concerning masculinities. Substantial attention is given to the work of R.W. Connell because certain aspects of Connell's work have been used to shape a pedagogical discourse of masculinities, which is a recontextualizing discourse (after Bernstein 1996) generated by academic research about the experience of young men and boys in schools.
