Let’s Hear It for the Boy: Masculinity, Manhood, and Archaeologies of Gender

Author(s): David Hyde

Year: 2017

Summary

This paper will seek to explore how archaeological investigations of masculinity and manhood can contribute to contemporary theory on gender and sexuality. Drawing on material from a 19th century industrial work camp in Coastal California, I will argue that intersectionality provides promising avenues as both a theoretical paradigm and as a way to articulate archaeological work within a wider, multi-disciplinary discourse on gender. Methodological implications for archaeological engagements with masculinity and intersectionality will also be explored.
