This book studies some important myths of masculinity in various popular genres, including the western, the horror film, rock music and pornography. The author argues that popular culture gives us highly complex and ambivalent images of men.

Attention is also paid to important theoretical issues in gender studies and cultural studies, such as identification and the relation between subject and text.
