| Summary |
Annotation This volume offers a variety of perspectives on contemporary fatherhood: from analyses of literature, film, drama and popular culture, to issues tackled by psychology, gender studies and social sciences. Arranged into thematic sections, the chapters cover a wide range of approaches to fatherhood, including studies and analyses based on fieldwork and interviews with participants. Each chapter discusses various culture-dependent models of masculinity in relation to the topic of fatherhood depicted in works of literary and film art, emphasising the crucial factors and features which make all these models different from one another and using examples of such cultural contexts as Australia, China, Indonesia, Brazil and Iran |
