WAYS OF CONSTRUCTING THE CONCEPT OF MASCULINITY IN SELECTED ITALIAN MAGAZINES FOR MEN IN THE LIGHT OF GENDER THEORY CULTURAL R.W. CONNELL

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article was to examine discursive and textual mechanisms used to construct masculinity in selected Italian men’s magazines published in 2022–23. Theexcerpted corpus was examined according to the social theory of gender by R.W. Connell.The analysis showed a significant presence of male anthroponyms, reproducing theimage of five diverse hegemonic masculinities. A meaningful number of onymic units co-creating subordinate and marginalized masculinities (disability, illness, age, or lack of typi-cally masculine physical features) was noted. The study confirmed that complicit masculinity in the onomastic sense is an anonymous category (lack of individual descriptions).
