Apstrakt

Ovaj rad istražuje koncept idealnog maskuliniteta u kontekstu oružanih sukoba i analizira njegov odnos sa stvarnim oblicima maskuliniteta. Cilj rada je da predstavi sadržaj sociokulturno oblikovanog ideala maskuliniteta u ratnom periodu i objasni kako takav ideal utiče na živote muškaraca zahvaćenih ratnim zbivanjima. Kroz pregled relevantne literature iz feminističke teorije međunarodne bezbednosti i studija maskuliniteta, rad ukazuje na raskorak između ideala i stvarnosti, te skreće pažnju na negativne posledice koje proističu iz takvog raskoraka. U nemogućnosti da dosegnu zahteve idealnog maskuliniteta, muškarci se suočavaju sa frustracijom i pritiskom da budu nasilniji nego što jesu kako bi odgovarali očekivanjima društva. Na kraju, rad naglašava potrebu za daljim istraživanjem ove oblasti i dekonstrukcijom militarizovanog maskuliniteta u cilju uspostavljanja inkluzivnijih predstava o muškosti i ostvarivanja dobrobiti koju bi time stekla većina muškaraca.
