Conclusions.This book contributes to the emerging field of men's health studies, delving into how men incorporate, adapt, negotiate, or reject health care practices to perform masculinities in social interactions. By moving beyond the simplistic association between men, masculinity and the adoption of 'risky' or 'unhealthy' practices, this book draws from recent critical perspectives on the study of men's health, seeking to challenge and problematize the relationship between masculinities and health. The text presents original empirical findings derived from qualitative and digital research examining the different ways in which men (re)negotiate their masculinities after the onset of a chronic illness, focusing on diabetes as a strategic case study. Living with a chronic illness implies that those gender practices that are usually taken for granted suddenly become unachievable and impose a reconfiguration of the masculine self, as well as a negotiation of the very meaning of masculinity. The volume aims to critically examine this interactive process of (re)negotiation, while also reflecting on men, masculinities and their health on a more general level. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars in social sciences working on the intersection of gender and health, as well as for health professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the connection between men, gender and health.MenHealth and hygieneMen's health servicesChronic diseasesSocial aspectsChronic diseasesPsychological aspectsMasculinityPsychological aspectsMenDiseasesHealth behaviorDiabeticsCareCase studiesChronic diseasesMenDiabetesChronic DiseaseMenMen's HealthMasculinityHealth BehaviorDiabetes MellitusHommesSanté et hygièneHommesServices de santéMaladies chroniquesMaladies chroniquesAspect socialMaladies chroniquesAspect psychologiqueMasculinitéAspect psychologiqueHommesMaladiesHabitudes sanitairesDiabétiquesSoinsÉtudes de casHommesDiabètemen (male humans)aatChronic diseasesPsychological aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00860087Chronic diseasesSocial aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00860090DiabeticsCarefast(OCoLC)fst00892238Health behaviorfast(OCoLC)fst00952816MenDiseasesfast(OCoLC)fst01015989MenHealth and hygienefast(OCoLC)fst01016002Men's health servicesfast(OCoLC)fst01748799Case studies.fastMenHealth and hygiene.Men's health services.Chronic diseasesSocial aspects.Chronic diseasesPsychological aspects.MasculinityPsychological aspects.MenDiseases.Health behavior.DiabeticsCareChronic diseases.Men.Diabetes.Chronic DiseaseMenMen's HealthMasculinityHealth BehaviorDiabetes MellitusHommesSanté et hygiène.HommesServices de santé.Maladies chroniques.Maladies chroniquesAspect social.Maladies chroniquesAspect psychologique.MasculinitéAspect psychologique.HommesMaladies.Habitudes sanitaires.DiabétiquesSoinsHommes.Diabète.men (male humans)Chronic diseasesPsychological aspects.Chronic diseasesSocial aspects.DiabeticsCare.Health behavior.MenDiseases.MenHealth and hygiene.Men's health services.616/.0440811Quaglia Valeria1453456GW5XEGW5XEYDXEBLCPOCLCOYDXOCLCQOCLCON$TOCLCFBOOK9910768185603321Wounded Masculinities3656084UNINA
