With a few notable exceptions, questions of masculinity have had little effect on historical approaches to politics and nationalism in European societies. Why is this the case? Are historical masculinity studies simply new ways of writing again about men? Or is there the potential of realising the ambitions of early men’s studies in developing highly critical and incisive scholarship in the field of ‘traditional’ political history, analysing power, absolutism, capitalism, democracy, women’s political agency, and political alterity more generally? Would approaches that take the dynamics of masculinity into account revitalise political history in insightful and radical ways? Is there a resistance still among political historians to these approaches, and if so, why? This workshop (at the Institute of Historical Research and Birkbeck UL) brings scholars together for the first time to address these questions.
