Abstract

In response to the claim that there has been insufficient substantial critique of “masculinity’s” archaic and ambiguous perceptions, this project aims at establishing awareness of society’s processes and mechanisms, allowing for dissection of the attributes, understandings, and implications of the universal and particular denotations and the prescriptive descriptions of “masculinity” by mass culture. By contrasting while combining various theories and identifications of “masculinity” through the film Fight Club, this examination outlines the various crossroads negotiated in cultural ambivalence, where innate and essential parameters are inappropriate. Elimination of “the natural” in non-identity is a potential catalyst for revolutionizing the epistemological and ontological structures of the human person.
