HEGEMONIC MASCULINITY IN MALE PRISONS IN SERBIA
Keywords:
hegemonic masculinity, hipermasculinity, subordinated masculinity, inmates, correctional institution/prisonAbstract
Starting with the standpoint that there is not only one but several different types or forms of masculinity in each society, the paper deals with the possibilities of applying the concept of hegemonic masculinity in research of social relations in male prisons in Serbia. In this paper I tried to interpret the relationships between the inmates using several concepts or sources of power which are elements of hegemonic masculinity (economic, psychophysical, criminogenic). During the analysis, it was necessary to determine the distinction between hegemonic masculinity and hipermasculinity. We analyzed the interviews with the prisoners and ex-prisoners from the correctional facilities Zabela and Niš (in Požarevac and Niš) in period 2010-2014.
