The (In)Essentiality of Male Bodies
The (In)Essentiality of Male Bodies

Summary/Abstract: This article argues that male bodies are theorized predominantly within a radical discursive constructionist viewpoint, given both the primacy of gender and queer paradigms with a discernible omission of feminist sexual difference perspectives. Furthermore, I raise several concerns in relation to the knowledge production process and the status of the academic subfield under discussion. I conclude by showing that a certain “gap” within the conceptual relationship between male bodies and masculinities is left unscrutinised.
