Health and Masculinity in Post War Britain. (360G-Wellcome-091661_Z_10_Z)
The aim of this project is to undertake a detailed analysis of the shifting relationship between notions of masculinity and psychological illness during the second half of the twentieth-century. By focusing both on psychosomatic symptoms (in particular, gastric disorders, insomnia, headache), alcohol abuse, tranquillizer addiction and psychological disorders (depression and anxiety), the research will explore medical understandings, patient experiences and broader representations of men s healt h from the Second World War to the late 1980s and the emergence of the alleged crisis in masculinity . Drawing on a wide range of documentary, visual and oral sources, this research will explore the complex terrain of male psychological illness. It will thus address an imbalance in the historiography that has previously focused on the contradictions inherent in the female role and women s health. The study will result in the publication of a monograph and three journal articles.
