Abstract

Flirtation

Hegemonic masculinity

Masculinities

Patriarchy

This chapter is the second of three parts of the ethnography of the textile factory. This chapter focuses on men and masculinities at work. The social construction of middle-class and working-class Tunisian masculinities is central here. This chapter engages with the concept of patriarchy, including recent critiques of this concept. This chapter considers the theory of hegemonic masculinity to men concerning the laboring process. The labor disciplining that is exerted on male workers including masculinity shaming and status is here explored.
