Abstract

Osnovna svrha istraživanja je prikazati sponu između definicije maskuliniteta i političke propagande. Toj sponi u radu dajemo naziv „pigmalionski muškarac“. Detaljnim proučavanjem ranog kolonijalizma u Indiji, nacističke Njemačke i Sjedinjenih Američkih Država 1940-ih i 1950-ih godina ukazujemo na problemski odnos kontinuiranog redefiniranja pojma maskuliniteta koji često nastaje, argumentirano, zbog utjecaja političke propagande. Tvrdimo da propaganda koristi pojam maskuliniteta kako bi promijenila određena ponašanja muške populacije svoje publike i putem njih ostvarila određene političke ciljeve. Ovo je problemski tekst kojim želimo čitateljevu pozornost skrenuti na opasnost fenomena kontinuiranog redefiniranja maskuliniteta.

Abstract (english)

The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate the connection between the definition of masculinity and political propaganda. In this study, we refer to this connection as the 'Pygmalion Man.' By closely examining early colonialism in India, Nazi Germany, and the United States in the 1940s and 1950s, we highlight the problematic relationship of continuously redefining the concept of masculinity, which often arises, presumably, due to the influence of political propaganda. We argue that propaganda utilizes the concept of masculinity to change specific behaviors of the male population and achieve certain political goals through them. It is a problematic text intended to draw the reader's attention to the danger of the phenomenon of the continuous redefinition of masculinity.
