中文摘要
本研究希望透過男性時尚雜誌的文本分析,釐清該類雜誌蘊涵的男性氣概觀點,據以和後女性主義者所倡言之「去性別化」理想作比較,以瞭解當代主流的性別觀點究竟為何。研究者觀察的向度包含:男性時尚雜誌的論域範圍(涉獵主題)、論述的策略和方法、其所召喚的主體位置及文本使用的語言符號機制。分析樣本來自《GQ》及《Man’s Uno》2008年8月份出刊的內容。研究結果顯示,男性時尚雜誌雖提出了多元的性別符號組合,但在作法上並非採行後女性主義者所倡言的性別虛擬化路徑,反而預先肯認了性別類目的「具體」存在,並且在二元對立的架構下,尋求一種假性的多元開放。這種解放模式只能爭取符號意義的多元,欲藉此得著性別類目的消解無疑是緣木求魚。
英文摘要
This study aims to understand “what is man” in men’s fashion magazines from which most modern ideas of masculinity came. The Researcher focuses on the contents, discourses, wording and symbols, trying to capture the ideology about “men” in these publications. The result shows that while creating more diverse images and possibilities about men, these magazines reconnect the “sex” and “gender” in a subtle way. Compared with the pursuit of “middle-sex” which challenges the binary category of sex in post-feminism, the so called “new man” is nothing but “macro man in better clothes.” Even worse, this time, they make men conform the same ideology of patriarchy as the way women used to be.
