Abstract [en]

Scholars have recently looked to understand the links between constructions of masculinity and climate change with some championing the concept of “ecological masculinities” in contrast to “far-right industrial masculinity”. Appealing to men’s links with nature builds, in part, off the mythopoetic men’s movements of the late 1980s and early 1990s which tended towards strategic essentialism and anti-feminism. Whilst the impetus behind ecological masculinities is anti-fascist, ecofascist and green-Nazi movements have already successfully co-opted environmentalist narratives in appealing to men who may see environmentalism as important but are keen to distance themselves from its connotations with ecofeminism. It is therefore important to acknowledge the ways in which ecological masculinities may slip into a protectorate narrative. This chapter argues that posthumanist approaches to affect offer a means of both understanding and interrupting the circulation of masculinist attachments to gendered and racialised conceptions of nature.
