商品描述
Nostalgia, Fantasy, and the Futures of Masculinity explores how nostalgia-driven fantasies shape contemporary masculinity and capitalist culture, and how these dynamics constrain our ability to imagine new futures. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis, cultural theory, and media studies, Timothy Richardson examines the ideological and affective structures that link masculinity to mythic pasts and deferred promises of progress.
Through case studies of music archives, fan cultures, and iconic films such as Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Ex Machina, the book reveals how popular media recycles familiar tropes to sustain capitalist discourse and masculine ideals. Richardson argues that these nostalgic scripts not only naturalize gender norms but also perpetuate cycles of consumption and stasis, even as they promise novelty.
Foregrounding Lacanian concepts of fantasy, desire, and the capitalist discourse, this monograph offers a critical intervention into debates on gender, temporality, and ideology. It combines rigorous theoretical analysis with accessible prose, making it essential reading for scholars and advanced students in psychoanalytic theory, cultural studies, gender studies, and media studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《懷舊、幻想與男性氣質的未來》探討了懷舊驅動的幻想如何塑造當代男性氣質和資本主義文化，以及這些動態如何限制我們想像新未來的能力。蒂莫西·理查森（Timothy Richardson）基於拉岡（Lacan）的精神分析、文化理論和媒體研究，檢視了將男性氣質與神話過去及延遲的進步承諾聯繫起來的意識形態和情感結構。
透過對音樂檔案、粉絲文化以及《銀翼殺手2049》（Blade Runner 2049）、《瘋狂麥斯：憤怒道》（Mad Max: Fury Road）和《機械公敵》（Ex Machina）等經典電影的案例研究，本書揭示了流行媒體如何重複使用熟悉的主題，以維持資本主義話語和男性理想。理查森主張，這些懷舊的劇本不僅使性別規範自然化，還延續了消費和停滯的循環，即使它們承諾帶來新穎性。
本專著突顯了拉岡的幻想、欲望和資本主義話語的概念，對性別、時間性和意識形態的辯論提供了批判性的介入。它結合了嚴謹的理論分析與易於理解的文筆，成為精神分析理論、文化研究、性別研究和媒體研究領域學者及高級學生的重要讀物。
