Hybrid Masculinities: New Directions in the Sociology of Men and Masculinities

Tristan Bridges, C. J. Pascoe · 1 Mar 2014

Abstract Hybrid masculinity refers to men's selective incorporation of performances and identity elements associated with marginalized and subordinated masculinities and femininities. We use recent theorization of hybrid masculinities to critically review theory and research that seeks to make sense of contemporary transformations in masculinity. We suggest that research broadly supports three distinct consequences associated with…

Becoming Less Illegal: Deservingness Frames and Undocumented Migrant Incorporation

Sébastien Chauvin, Blanca Garcés‐Mascareñas · 1 Apr 2014

Abstract Over the last two decades, research on unauthorized migration has departed from the equation of migrant illegality with absolute exclusion, emphasizing that formal exclusion typically results in subordinate inclusion. Irregular migrants integrate through informal support networks, the underground economy, and political activities. But they also incorporate into formal institutions, through policy divergence between levels…
