"Material Man shows us masculinity as it is viewed by and shaped by fashion, design, and the media. It presents images of a vast range of models - fashion photographs and advertisements, iconic figures from the movies and sports, archetypes from traditional cultures, cultural renegades and outsiders - that men turn to for inspiration. These images define an ever-changing frontier where the rules are in flux. An array of essays by scholars and experts working in various disciplines look at the influence of military uniforms, of pop music, of art, of photography, of sports, of film, of science fiction, of advertising, and of the media. They examine the men's fashion business and men's fashion magazines. And they show how the signs, gestures, and poses of masculinity are shaped by broad social and cultural movements."-Front Flap.
