Resumo: | This paper interrogates how the films evoke a specific notion of masculinity, and valorise normative male ideals – aggression, violence, and a gendered division of space and labour. Violence and dominance are legitimised and constructed as “natural” of the male “will to power”. The paper also evaluates the populist appeal of the film as a reaction against attempts to inscribe a “new man” into the paradigms of gender – the proletarian heroes are traditional male supremacists who dichotomise public and private domains and discipline women to function within the norms of family. Further, it analyses the semiotics of film that work collaboratively to create the masculine image. Keywords: Malayalam cinema; masculinity; gendered violence. |

Hegemonic masculinities in two comic films in Malayalam: Meesa Madhavan and RajamanikyamMasculinidade hegemônica em dois filmes de comédia malaialos: Meesa Madhavan e RajamanikyamThis paper interrogates how the films evoke a specific notion of masculinity, and valorise normative male ideals – aggression, violence, and a gendered division of space and labour. Violence and dominance are legitimised and constructed as “natural” of the male “will to power”. The paper also evaluates the populist appeal of the film as a reaction against attempts to inscribe a “new man” into the paradigms of gender – the proletarian heroes are traditional male supremacists who dichotomise public and private domains and discipline women to function within the norms of family. Further, it analyses the semiotics of film that work collaboratively to create the masculine image. Keywords: Malayalam cinema; masculinity; gendered violence.Este estudo interroga como os filmes evocam uma noção específica de masculinidade e valorizam os ideais masculinos normativos - agressão, violência e uma divisão de espaço e trabalho de acordo com gêneros. A violência e a dominância são legitimadas e construídas como "naturais" da "sede de poder" do homem. O texto também avalia o apelo populista do filme como uma reação contra as tentativas de inscrever um "novo homem" nos paradigmas de gênero - os heróis proletários são homens suprematistas tradicionais que dicotomizam os domínios público e privado e disciplinam as mulheres a viver dentro das regras da família. Além disso, ele analisa a semiótica do filme que colabora na criação da imagem masculina. palavras-chave: cinema malaialo; masculinidade; violência de gênero.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2016-06-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/artcultura/article/view/34809ArtCultura; Vol. 17 No. 30 (2015): ArtCulturaArtCultura; Vol. 17 Núm. 30 (2015): ArtCulturaArtCultura; v. 17 n. 30 (2015): ArtCultura2178-3845reponame:ArtCultura (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/artcultura/article/view/34809/18418Copyright (c) 2016 Artculturainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKumar, Preeti2022-03-29T16:42:28Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/34809Revistahttp://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/artcultura/indexPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/artcultura/oaiakparanhos@uol.com.br||2178-38452178-3845opendoar:2022-03-29T16:42:28ArtCultura (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
