Narrating Masculinities: Racism, Nationalism and Belonging amongst Working-Class Men in Tyneside

近年来，右翼意识形态和民族主义在整个欧洲都得到了关注（Lifland, 2013; Antonsich,2020）。在对这一日益增长的现象的多学科分析中，一个新兴的研究机构强调了这种意识形态的明显男性化倾向（Kimmel,2018; Ralph-Morrow, 2022）。拟议中的研究旨在通过研究地方身份、种族和男性气质的交叉点来增加这一奖学金。它旨在探索民族主义如何嵌入更广泛的父权制结构中（hooks, 2013），并逐渐塑造和产生男性气概的形式。本研究将采用传记方法，对泰恩赛德的男性参与者进行40次访谈。泰恩赛德是一个以白人为主的后工业地区，对种族的研究很少（Nayak, 2003）。性别分析将有助于检查曾经正常化的男子气概概念如何在右翼意识形态中得到验证。该研究避免了这样一种假设，即“落后”地区和这些地区的男性在某种程度上天生就被右翼思想所吸引。相反，它将探索这种广泛存在的极右翼叙事如何在男性自身的传记中发挥作用，如何与他们的生活经历联系起来，并产生具体体现和实施的特定版本的男子气概。这项研究将通过对后工业城市中男性气质、种族和日常民族主义之间关系的新理解，推动当前的地理学术研究。此外，在理解和打击仇恨言论方面，研究结果将对地区和国家组织都有直接的好处。

Right-wing ideology and nationalism have gained tractionthroughout Europe in recent years (Lifland, 2013; Antonsich,2020). Amidst multi-disciplinary analysis of this growingphenomenon, is an emerging body of research highlighting thedistinctly masculine tendencies of such ideologies (Kimmel,2018; Ralph-Morrow, 2022). The proposed research seeks toadd to this scholarship by working at the intersections of localidentities, race and masculinities. It aims to explore howeveryday nationalism is embedded within broader structures ofpatriarchy (hooks, 2013) and comes to shape and produceforms of masculinity.This study will draw upon biographical methods, conducting 40interviews with male participants in Tyneside - a predominantlywhite post-industrial area with a paucity of research on race(Nayak, 2003). A gendered analysis will assist in examiningways in which once normalised notions of masculinity can bevalidated in right-wing ideology. The research avoids theassumption that 'left behind' places and the men within themare somehow inherently drawn to right-wing thinking. Instead, itwill explore how such widespread far-right narratives figure inthe biographies of men themselves, connect to their livedexperiences and produce particular versions of masculinity thatare embodied and enacted in place.The research will advance current geographic scholarship, byproducing new understandings of the relationship betweenmasculinities, race and everyday nationalism in post-industrialtowns. Furthermore, the findings will have direct benefit forboth regional and national organisations when it comesunderstanding and combating hate speech.
