Maskulinitas is a ground-breaking treatment of the representation of men and masculinity in Indonesian culture, from Suharto's New Order era to the present. The book includes critical analyses of Indonesian cultural expressions in literature, cinema, society, and politics. Drawing on the ideas of Bakhtin, Bourdieu, Maier, and others, author Marshall Clark explores, with acute insight and a critical eye, constructions of the masculine in contemporary Indonesian society. Maskulinitas also challenges the way scholars of Indonesia have held firm to the categories and frameworks of gender studies - a field still often equated with women's studies - while offering fascinating insights into representations and images of men as engendered and engendering subjects. As a timely addition to the generally conservative field of scholarship on gender in Southeast Asia, Maskulinitas demonstrates that gender studies need to encompass 'the man question, ' especially considering Indonesia's strongly patriarchal society, where the norms of feminine subordination and submission are legitimized by the ideologies of the state and the strictures of religion. Ultimately, this book challenges the reader with the notion that if the subordinate status of Indonesian women is to be highlighted and some sort of gender equality achieved, then the representations, subjectivities, and practices of Indonesian men must be addressed

Presenting a survey of the social, cultural and theoretical issues which surround and inform our understanding of masculinity, this book explores the interface between traditional sociological approaches and the work covered by more post-structural, media-driven or cultural perspectives. Edwards well known for his work on representations of masculinities, uses grounded examples of the job market and domestic violence to set his theoretical discussion. He argues that there is a need for more dialogue on men and masculinities between disciplines, and considers the validity of the concerns and anxieties which surround masculinity in the contemporary world through a range of key topics, including: the new man, the new lad and ‘men’s movements’ men, masculinity and violence marginalized masculinities: black masculinity and gay male sexuality queer theory, performativity and fashion cinema, representation and the body. One of the most comprehensive and progressive studies of modern masculinity available, this book will be essential reading for students of gender, culture and sociology.

This strikingly original book examines how sport and ideas of physicality have shaped the politics and culture of modern Laos. Viewing the country's extraordinary transitions—from French colonialism to royalist nationalism to revolutionary socialism to the modern development state—through the lens of physical culture, Simon Creak's lively and incisive narrative illuminates a nation that has no reputation in sport and is typically viewed, even from within, as a country of cheerful but lazy people. Creak argues that sport and related physical practices—including physical education, gymnastics, and military training—have shaped a national consciousness by locating it in everyday experience. These practices are popular, participatory, performative, and, above all, physical in character and embody ideas and ideologies in a symbolic and experiential way. Embodied Nation takes readers on a brisk ride through more than a century of Lao history, from a nineteenth-century game of tikhi—an indigenous game resembling field hockey—to the country's unprecedented outpouring of nationalist sentiment when hosting the 2009 Southeast Asian Games. En route, we witness a Lao-Vietnamese soccer brawl in 1936, the fascist-inspired body ethic of the early 1940s, the novel modes of military masculinity that blossomed with national independence, the spectacular state theatrics of power represented by Olympic-inspired sports festivals, and the high hopes and frequent failures of socialist sport in the 1970s and 1980s. Of central concern in Creak's narrative are the twin motifs of gender and civilization. Despite increasing female participation since the early twentieth century, he demonstrates the major role that sport and physical culture have played in forming hegemonic masculinities in Laos. Even with limited national sporting success—Laos has never won an Olympic medal—the healthy, toned, and muscular form has come to symbolize material development and prosperity. Embodied Nation outlines the complex ways in which these motifs, through sport and physical culture, articulate with state power. Combining cultural and intellectual history with historical thick description, Creak draws on a creative array of Lao and French sources from previously unexplored archives, newspapers, and magazines, and from ethnographic writing, war photography, and cartoons. More than an "imagined community" or "geobody," he shows that Laos was also a "body at work," making substantive theoretical contributions not only to Southeast Asian studies and history, but to the study of the physical culture, nationalism, masculinity, and modernity in all modern societies.

​​Masculinities in a Global Era extends the conversation of masculinity studies by analyzing global masculinities from a psychological perspective. Canvassing a broad array of psychological aspects such as the construction of identity, the negotiation of power, coping with trauma, and sexuality, this volume shows how masculinities are experienced, performed and embodied in geographically dispersed communities. Importantly, Masculinities in a Global Era fulfills a much-needed but elusive need within the study of masculinities: a forum in which the often polarized approaches of pro-feminists and men’s rights advocates can begin to move beyond their entrenched historical positions towards a more fruitful and nuanced future.​

The Magus: Kundalini and the Golden Dawn adalah puncak dari perjalanan Spiritual saya melalui Tradisi Misteri Barat setelah mengalami kebangkitan Kundalini secara penuh dan berkelanjutan. Setelah saya bergabung dengan sekolah rahasia dan esoterik yang disebut Golden Dawn, saya diperkenalkan pada Ceremonial Magick—sebuah praktik Alkimia Spiritual yang ditujukan untuk penyetelan dan pembersihan Cakra—yang tujuan utamanya adalah transformasi pribadi dan Pencerahan. Saya telah menemukan bahwa seni pemanggilan energi yang sakral ini tidak hanya mengurangi rasa takut dan kecemasan yang saya rasakan setelah membangkitkan Kundalini, tetapi juga memajukan perkembangan Spiritual saya sepuluh kali lipat dalam waktu singkat. Oleh karena itu, saya mendedikasikan diri saya untuk menguasai seluruh sistem Golden Dawn. Setelah memimpin sebuah kelompok Golden Dawn di Toronto, Ontario, saya meninggalkan sistem yang terorganisir tetapi terus mengajarkan ilmu ceremonial magick kepada para Pencari Tuhan YME lainnya. Saya menyadari bahwa dunia kehilangan sebuah sistem Magick yang terpadu dan komprehensif yang menggabungkan Spiritualitas Timur dan Misteri Barat, yang presentasinya jelas dan ringkas, tanpa konotasi gaib yang samar-samar. Apa yang muncul adalah The Magus - sebuah ilmu energi Universal yang kita semua ambil bagian sebagai manusia. Anda tidak perlu menjadi bagian dari Ordo Magickal untuk mendapatkan manfaat penuh dari inisiasi ke dalam energi Tata Surya. Segala sesuatu yang dapat diperoleh dari latihan Ceremonial Magick dapat dilakukan dari kenyamanan di rumah Anda. Jika Anda mendedikasikan sepuluh menit sehari untuk latihan ini, Anda dapat maju secara substansial dalam evolusi Spiritual Anda. Latihan Ceremonial Magick di The Magus disajikan sebagai bagian dari program Alkimia Spiritual yang bertujuan untuk membantu Anda terhubung dengan Jiwa Yang Lebih Tinggi dan memanfaatkan potensi tertinggi Anda sebagai manusia Spiritual. Program-program ini berjalan seiring dengan ceramah pengetahuan tentang Qabalah, Lima Elemen, Tujuh Cakra, Astrologi, Tarot, Ramalan, meditasi, Filosofi Hermetik dan Alkimia, Misteri Kristen dan Mesir, Sihir Henokh, dan banyak lagi. The Magus juga berisi banyak pengetahuan mengenai Kundalini dari perspektif Timur dan Barat. Ketika hubungan Anda dengan Sang Pencipta semakin kuat melalui karya-karya di dalam The Magus, kekuatan pribadi Anda akan meningkat, memungkinkan Anda untuk mewujudkan kehidupan yang selalu Anda inginkan. Dengan menjadi versi terbaik dari diri Anda, Anda dapat menjadi pahlawan dalam kisah Anda sendiri dan mengalami kegembiraan dan kegembiraan dalam hidup. Akhir dari permainan The Magus adalah penyelesaian Pekerjaan Agung dan perluasan serta penyatuan kesadaran individu dengan Kesadaran Kosmik.

From New York Times bestselling author, feminist pioneer, and cultural icon bell hooks, a timelessly necessary treatise on how patriarchy and toxic masculinity hurts us all, with a new introduction by poet Ross Gay. Feminist writing did not tell us about the deep inner misery of men. Everyone needs to love and be loved—including men. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways in which patriarchal culture keeps them from understanding themselves. In The Will to Change, bell hooks provides a compassionate guide for men of all ages and identities to understand how to be in touch with their feelings, and how to express versus repress the emotions that are a fundamental part of who we are. With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. The Will to Change “creates space for men to acknowledge their traumas and heal—not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone in their lives” (BuzzFeed).
