GEXcel project
During my Open Position Fellowship I will be working on a research project that aims to explore national/historical specific representations of hegemonic masculinity. This study suggests a comparative analysis of ways of legitimization of hegemonic masculinity in Swedish and Ukrainian society, which is explored on example of referring to two historical models of masculinity – Vikings and Cossacks. A particular focus of this study is an issue of intersection of national(istic) and gender ideas promoted by these ideals of masculinity. The main research questions that this study aims to answer are which discourses of masculinity ideals of Vikings and Cossacks promote and how it is being done, how these models relate to hegemonic masculinity, which role these ideas play in the context of modern Swedish and Ukrainian society, as well as whether it is possible to discuss ideals of Cossacks and Vikings as similar, but contextualized exemplars of hegemonic masculinity. The major outcomes of this research project will be preparation of two articles for publication in international peer-reviewed journals.
