Beau Brummell and New Masculinities
George Bryan “Beau” Brummell (1778 – 1840) was a famous figure in his day, for his beauty and for his influential relationship with British nobility. Brummell’s fashioned identity remains mythologised and, since its inception, the new masculinity of the ‘dandy’ has been utilized in the formation of gendered and raced identities that resist established behaviour, looks, influences and ethics.
This two-day interdisciplinary conference poses Beau Brummell as a point of discursive departure in considering how contemporary and historic masculinities have been conceptualised and reworked. It invites papers that explore the wider implications of these reworkings, as well as the interactions between sartorial expression and both resistant and hegemonic masculinities.
Keynote speakers will be:
· Dr Shaun Cole
· Professor Monica L. Miller
· Dr Royce Mahawatte
· Professor Vicki Karaminas
