Undressed Toronto looks at the life of the swimming hole and considers how Toronto turned boys skinny dipping into comforting anti-modernist folk figures. By digging into the vibrant social life of these spaces, Barbour challenges narratives that pollution and industrialization in the nineteenth century destroyed the relationship between Torontonians and their rivers and waterfront. Instead, we find that these areas were co-opted and transformed into recreation spaces: often with the acceptance of indulgent city officials. While we take the beach for granted today, it was a novel form of public space in the nineteenth century and Torontonians had to decide how it would work in their city. To create a public beach, bathing needed to be transformed from the predominantly nude male privilege that it had been in the mid-nineteenth century into an activity that women and men could participate in together. That transformation required negotiating and establishing rules for how people would dress and behave when they bathed and setting aside or creating distinct environments for bathing. Undressed Toronto challenges assumptions about class, the urban environment, and the presentation of the naked body. It explores anxieties about modernity and masculinity and the weight of nostalgia in public perceptions and municipal regulation of public bathing in five Toronto environments that showcase distinct moments in the transition from vernacular bathing to the public beach: the city’s central waterfront, Toronto Island, the Don River, the Humber River, and Sunnyside Beach on Toronto’s western shoreline.
To draw is to understand what we see. In The Undressed Art, writer-naturalist Peter Steinhart investigates the rituals, struggles, and joys of drawing. Reflecting on what is known about the brain’s role in the drawing process, Steinhart explores the visual learning curve: how children begin to draw, how most of them stop, and what brings adults back to this deeply human art form later in life. He considers why the face and figure are such commanding subjects and describes the delicate collaboration of the artist and model. Here is a powerful reminder that no revolution in art or technology can undermine our vital need to draw.
This special issue of Paragraph, Volume 26 Numbers 1 and 2, brings together differing approaches (from a diverse range of disciplines) to the question of the representation of men's bodies in twentieth-century visual culture - from art photography and cinema to popular culture, advertising and pornography. These are bodies of different colours, nationalities, sexualities, ages, which are available to be gazed upon by many different consumers even though the location of the different images may condition both who looks and how they look.

It is said that there are unwritten MAN RULES, which all Men abide by. These MAN RULES are the do's and don'ts men abide by for any and every situation you can think of. Now if men know these rules then why publish this Guidebook? I've learned that not all Men abide by these unwritten MAN RULES because they are not public knowledge to all. Perhaps if these MAN RULES were written for all to read, maybe men wouldn't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable by a Man Rule Violator. This is a guidebook for Men to clarify what are the do's and don'ts when in a specific situation. For example, is alright to sing in a public restroom? Can a Man hug another Man? What is a wingman and what are his responsibilities? These questions, plus more, are all answered by this guidebook's definitions of The Man Rules. VOLUME 1 contains Man Rules 0-100.
Men’s fashion, particularly the trends involving undergarments, was once reserved for the elite; today it has become democratised, clear proof of social progress.The aestheticism of the body so highly valued by the Greeks seems to have regained a prominent place in the masculine world. Mirroring the evolution of society’s values, the history of underwear also highlights the continuous, dancing exchange that exists between women’s styles and men’s fashion. Undergarments are concealed, flaunted, stretched or shortened, establishing a game between yesterday’s illicit and today’s chic and thereby denouncing the sense of disgrace that these simple pieces of clothing used to betray. In this work, Shaun Cole endeavours to re-establish for the first time, through well-researched socio-economic analysis, the importance of men’s underwear in the history of costume from ancient times to today. A reflection of technological progress, this study is full of surprises and powerful reflections on man’s relationship with his body.
In the Andalusian communities throughout the olive-growing region of southeastern Spain men show themselves to be primarily concerned with two problems of identity: their place in the social hierarchy, and the maintenance of their masculinity in the context of their culture. In this study of projective behavior as found in the folklore of an Andalusian town, Stanley Brandes is careful to support psychological interpretations with ethnographic evidence. His emphasis on male folklore provides a timely complement to current research on women.
¿Qué se entiende por machismo? ¿Qué características tiene un hombre machista? ¿De dónde procede y qué antecedentes tiene esta conducta? ¿Cómo puede un hombre trascender su propio machismo y lograr una mayor conexión con sus emociones y las de quienes lo rodean? ¿Cómo pueden hombres y mujeres, juntos, construir nuevas y/o diferentes formas de entender y vivir la masculinidad y los roles de género? Estas, y otras preguntas, son abordadas de manera analítica y experiencial por parte del autor, quien nos invita a un interesante recorrido por el tema y los conceptos que rodean al machismo, en una época como la actual, en la que hombres y mujeres estamos llamados a deconstruir viejos roles y patrones de conducta, para abrazar nuevas maneras de relacionarnos.
