This study asks: how do people come to inhabit and reproduce positions of gendered power? To answer this question I examine the formation of masculinity in adolescence, highlighting relationships between gender, bodies, sexuality and institutions. Through ethnographic research in a racially diverse, working-class high school, I followed the deployment of, resistance to, and practices about masculinity. I found that, at this school, masculinity is defined as an assertion of competence, mastery and will usually expressed through sexualized discourses. In this sense masculinity is something associated with, but is not limited to, those with male bodies. In detailing the everyday symbolic violence that constituted masculinity in this high school, this dissertation argues that male adolescent homophobia and sexism are distinctly tied to ways in which boys come to think of themselves and others as men, often at the cost of gender and sexual equality.

520 $a This study asks: how do people come to inhabit and reproduce positions of gendered power? To answer this question I examine the formation of masculinity in adolescence, highlighting relationships between gender, bodies, sexuality and institutions. Through ethnographic research in a racially diverse, working-class high school, I followed the deployment of, resistance to, and practices about masculinity. I found that, at this school, masculinity is defined as an assertion of competence, mastery and will usually expressed through sexualized discourses. In this sense masculinity is something associated with, but is not limited to, those with male bodies. In detailing the everyday symbolic violence that constituted masculinity in this high school, this dissertation argues that male adolescent homophobia and sexism are distinctly tied to ways in which boys come to think of themselves and others as men, often at the cost of gender and sexual equality.
520 $a Four main findings emerged from this study. First, for boys creating a masculine identity entails continually repudiating the specter of failed masculinity through what I call a "fag discourse." Second, boys enact a "compulsive heterosexuality" to prove to themselves and others that they are not fags. Third, the way the fag discourse is invoked and the way compulsive heterosexuality is enacted are both racialized, in that African American boys are under more scrutiny for both of these things by the school administration than are white boys. Last, sexuality works differently in terms of masculinity when girls identify as masculine.
520 $a To frame these arguments, I integrate sociological research on masculinities, feminist theory, theories of culture and interdisciplinary queer theory. I begin by addressing the current state of research on masculinity within sociology; then I use feminist theories and theories of sexuality to critique the sociology of masculinity literature. I conclude by proposing a new way of looking at masculinity by drawing on theories of female masculinity, theories of sexuality and sociological tenets to argue that we need to expand theories of practice in order to understand how individuals come to inhabit positions of power interactively, institutionally and discursively.
