- English abstract
- Traditional conceptions of virility and representations of the male body tended to steer clear of passivity. Susan Bordo has described the process through which such narcissistic images of the male body become acceptable in mainstream representation. A generation of young male actors both in Spain and in Hollywood represents this new trend. The text argues the case of Mario Casas, a representative of a new approach to the body and a new personal relationship to the body. It illustrates how this new approach engages with two demographics often ignored by mainstream critics: teenage girls and gay male audiences.
