dc.description.abstractThe argument about the mechanisms through which people live in a gendered society may give rise to different opinions concerning the perspectives and possibilities of their renewal. Behind this phenomenon is a false clairvoyance in how we understand gender. This certainty about a gendered society has generated uneasiness; within academia it drives a ceaseless inquiry into how to make sense of this omnipresent characteristic. For many years, the focus on gendered societies has not included men. Drawing on the idea of “male normalization”, the invisibility of a prevailing power was promoted. In this hegemonic configuration, men have directly benefitted from a patriarchal model without questioning it, without intervening in an attempt to undermine and consequently destroy it. Nonetheless, the social and political transformations initiated in the mid-19th century had an impact on masculinity studies, making room for a change in expectations and rights. According to this perspective, the changes brought on by modernity have made it possible to rethink the concept of masculinity. Within this context, we strive to shed light on the discussion and problematization of the logics of masculinity, as they are understood by Portuguese youth, as part of two research projects separated by a 10-year interval. By studying juvenile narratives we intend to understand how these logics, which appear tied to different meanings, interact. In this regard, we propose to reflect on the discourses produced on implicitly imposed invisibilities, and the way in which these are beginning to be interrupted though an openness to multiple configurations (allowing a metamorphosis) and encourage the visibilities of the multiple ways of being a man.pt_PT
