ABSTRACT
Traditionally, ‘real men’ are those who do not display fear or vulnerability when faced with risky situations. Risk and risk taking have been theorised in relation to hegemonic forms of masculinity in the context of symbolic and material behaviours, subjectivities, relationships and practices across a number of sites. However, the theorising of masculinity and risk has become more nuanced across structural, individual and global levels, with the focus now both on men and risk and men at risk.
