Fantomen: Från ungkarl till hemmaman : Genuskonstruktioner i äventyrsserien Fantomen av Lee FalkHjelm Sandqvist, Carl January 2013 (has links)
In this essay I analyse the constructions of gender in the series The Phantom by Lee Falk. I apply David Tjeders readings of the bourgouise masculinity, its sensitive character and great risk of falling into unmanliness, when discussing The Phantom’s masculine development. I have analysed three adventures of The Phantom from the years 1937, 1977 and 1996, all authored by original creator Lee Falk. I argue that The Phantom increases his use of violence, therefore risking a loss of character. The stories re-establishes his masculinity by portraying the villains more monstrously. My thesis is that The Phantom's need to maintain a bourgeouis masculinity ceases as the popular culture has developed new masculine ideals.
