Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present some new forms of masculinities in the contemporary Bulgarian society. It is argued that the process of increasing re-traditionalisation in the last years is closely connected with the popular type of the „traditional Bulgarian masculinity“. This symbolic construction of masculinity is striving to become hegemonic and could be understand as a response of the threatened, subordinated masculinities to the current situation of precarity and anxiety.
