- This book (pp.196) mobilises literary texts and their historical context to reveal how masculinity was performed in urban Portuguese society in the twentieth century. The detailed thematically-organised comparative analysis centres on three canonic texts by highly regarded authors (Pessoa, Moteiro and Saramago) and draws on historical evidence and wider literary production relating to other European capitals. Informed by a range of theoretical approaches in cultural and critical gender theory, the investigation shows tangible shifts in the gendered social fabric of the Portuguese capital and develops a new model of analysis for masculinity studies.
