Conclusion: Friendship Politics as Feminist Politics?. 330 $aThis book discusses men?s friendships in relation to queer, discursive, and intersectional feminist theories. It analyses stories of intimacy, touch, hugs, and conversations, connecting these with current discussions within feminism and critical masculinity studies on ?new? men, men?s political activism, and how friendships are lived and conceptualised in relation to heteronormative relationship ideals. Drawing on individual and dyadic interviews with middle-class Swedish men, all engaged in or sympathetic to feminist issues in some sense, this volume shows that Swedish gender equality ideologies as well as feminist, therapeutic, neo-liberal, and individualist discourses prevalent in the Western world structured the men?s friendships and their engagement with gender politics. Chapters cover friendship temporalities, gendered friendship ideals, friendship as men?s politics, and friendship as performed in interaction. Bridging the literatures of feminist research and friendship, the author points to tensions and contradictions in pro-feminist men?s political projects and in contemporary masculine positions. 410 0$aGenders and Sexualities in the Social Sciences,$x2947-8790 606 $aMen 606 $aQueer theory 606 $aSex 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aMens' Studies 606 $aQueer Studies 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 606 $aEthnology 606 $aPolitics and Gender 615 0$aMen. 615 0$aQueer theory. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 14$aMens' Studies. 615 24$aQueer Studies. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 615 24$aEthnology. 615 24$aPolitics and Gender. 676 $a305.42 676 $a302.340811 700 $aGoedecke$b Klara$f1985-$01345675 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910624392503321 996 $aMen's friendships as feminist politics$93071461 997 $aUNINA
