Abstract

The male body has a particularly close connection to culture and to discourse and is one of the main avenues through which culture attempts to construct masculinity....The male body functions as a kind of tabula rasa or inscriptive surface for masculinity and for culture, and discourse is inscribed on that matter, asserting its power through inscription and reinscription (Reeser 2010: 91).
