This study focuses on the relational construction of masculinity, specifically on intra-group interactions, relational resources, and interactional accountability among co-ethnic migrant men with shared class backgrounds. Through participant observation and interviews with 72 migrant men, the research uncovers how these men engage in status maneuvering. This process involves the strategic adaption of diverse and fluid forms of masculinity supported by co-ethnic relationships established in various settings like workplaces, dormitories, and social gatherings. Status maneuvering aims to optimize earnings while navigating hypermasculine and feminized low-status workplaces, all while preserving men’s respectability outside of work. This reconceptualization of status maneuvering enriches our comprehension of gender interactional accountability, focusing attention on the sharing of co-ethnic knowledge. It also highlights the role of men with similar class backgrounds holding each other accountable for strategically performing fluid and dynamic masculinities through interactional resources such as humor, sarcasm, and humiliation.

Older men are often treated as homogenous, a-gendered, and unmasculine. Drawing on 52 interviews with older men who play walking football in the UK, we explore how their experiences can be understood through a lens of masculinity. Men claimed that walking football offers an outlet for both competition and displaying physical prowess. Their embodied performances were crucial for cultivating a masculine identity which, whilst threatened by the ageing process, sustained their privilege and status. Yet, men also described how modes of care, friendship, and interdependence became central to their experiences. As men aged, the constraints around expressing feelings of intimacy, on account of hegemonic norms recognised in their youth, were loosened. Via the empirical analysis presented, the article contributes to both the study of the lives of older men and the continued absence of older men in masculinity theory.

This article explores the everyday policing processes surrounding men’s bodily grooming and white-collar masculinities in Japan. Amidst increasing scrutiny of men’s bodies, research has highlighted how men understand their grooming in relation to masculinities privileged by class, race, and sexuality. Less is understood, however, about men’s experiences of everyday policing processes surrounding grooming. Japanese white-collar cultures where good grooming stands for professionalism provide fruitful contexts to address these gaps. Interviews with 33 socially privileged white-collar men in Tokyo demonstrate how participants understand grooming vis-à-vis masculine ideals of professional competency. Participants are particularly conscious of scrutiny from superiors, colleagues, and subordinates. While past scholarship has often overlooked the vulnerability of privileged men’s positions, for white-collar men in Japan, being subject to often cruel policing processes threatens their place on gendered hierarchies. Thus, I argue that even for privileged men, policing of their grooming presents real costs to their hegemonic status.

Through an 11-month multispecies ethnography in Yulin where the annual Yulin Lychee and Dog Meat Festival is held, this paper examines various types of men-dog relationships in Yulin and explores how such relationships contribute to men’s understanding and performance of their gender and why local men defend the dog meat festival vehemently. It finds that traditional rural men in Yulin keep local dogs for guarding, hunting, and dogfighting while “useless” dogs are eaten. In all these relationships, dogs are understood as humanlike individuals endowed with and serving men’s “ wu masculinities”, a concept that Kam Louie adopts to denote a type of traditional Chinese masculinities that is often associated with working-class men. With a change of lifestyle in the modernization of Yulin, the dog meat festival became the most important platform for the celebration of wu masculinities and is strongly defended by local men for their dignity.
