The Way

This article examines the entanglement between masculinity crisis and traumatic memory as described in Katherine Mansfield's short story ‘The Fly’. By exploring the way Mansfield depicts the figure of the ‘boss’ in the story as symbolic of the stubborn resistance against the natural organic order of time, the article investigates how such a memory project of preservation fails with all its masculinist hubris. Drawing on Pierre Janet’s notions of traumatic memory and narrative memory and on Freud’stheory of traumatic repetition and castration, the article attempts to locate the politics of memory in Mansfield’s story alongside the politics of masculinity that perversely equates male hysteria with performance and prestige.

The Impact

This research aims to show the masculinity crisis experienced by a male character (a husband) due to the shift role of breadwinner in marriage in the short story "Huruf Terakhir" by Benny Arnas. This research is essential because it can demonstrate the impact of the wife's involvement to work in the public domain towards the husband's condition. This research is qualitative research by utilizing the concept of gender. Data collection techniques are carried out through document tracing on a short story "Huruf Terakhir" by Benny Arnas as the corpus.  The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive analysis method. The results showed that shifting role of breadwinner can cause a man (a husband) to experience a crisis of masculinity such as loss of independence, confidence, courage, assertiveness, and emotional control. The shifting role as breadwinner is also shown to open the opportunities for repression in women. Therefore, the research on the short story "Huruf Terakhir" is expected to contribute to the study of gender-sensitive literature, especially since it is able to show masculinity traits associated with the role of breadwinner can complicate men’s position and  potentially hinder women's freedom.

Masculinity Crisis

Across media and academic accounts in western societies there is much talk of an implosion of the modernist gender order. One way of capturing this shift is through the deployment of the concept of feminisation and an accompanying masculinity crisis. This paper draws upon empirical work in a specific context, that of the contemporary English schooling of boys. We critically explore the different meanings ascribed to the notion of feminisation. In exploring the changing labour process of teaching, we pose the suggestion of its remasculinisation. Having considered this broader picture, we focus on the meanings that circulate through teaching and more specifically address the question through a consideration of the disconnection of gendered styles from sexed bodies. In the final section this leads to the exploration of the putative ‘crisis of boys' by addressing the dynamic cultural inter connections between the categories of age and gender.
