| description | In this article we examine some imagined meanings of masculinity among groups of men in Eastern Cuba. We first present a brief overview of how this subject has been addressed in the Cuban context, highlighting the relevant theoretical contributions to understand our case study. Our findings, which come from an analysis of discussion groups with self-identified heterosexual men, address the imagined meanings around masculine bodies, being a man and husband, and fatherhood. We suggest that, circulating in this culture, there are beliefs and assumptions about being a man that produce categories and rankings, and, as a result, articulate, stabilize, and authorize situations of discrimination, subordination, marginalization, or exclusion among men and in systems of social relations. |
