This article draws on a discursive analysis of individual and group interviews with forty-five heterosexual men to examine how men take up and resist discourses of sexuality and gender to (re)produce a recognizable heterosexual subjectivity. It explores the commodification of sex in men’s accounts and the various practices men described undertaking to obtain sex. The article argues that the contexts in which men (re)produce sexual subjectivity have significant implications for how they negotiate the discursive positions available to them. Three themes are presented to demonstrate the different discursive practices undertaken by single and partnered men. Finally, the article explores the difficulties, dilemmas, and ambivalences produced by the project of subjection and how individual men resolve them.

This article considers conversations about men and masculinity being pursued in the English-speaking Caribbean and the Republic of Ireland. The author engages structural-materialist analysis to evaluate claims circulating in both contexts that suggest men are being marginalized because of their sex-gender and employs cultural analysis to examine the representation of men’s experiences in dominant discursive frameworks. Through reference to two programs that have attempted responses that address the alleged “crisis of masculinity”—Ireland’s Exploring Masculinities program and Saint Lucia’s Men’s Resource Centre in Saint Lucia—the author identifies some of the implications of a limited analysis and also discusses some of the ways in which these programs provide potential opportunities for a more critical conversation about the situation of men and the production of masculinities.

This chapter focuses on Christian pastoralist conceptions of hunting. Christian pastoralism was opposed to cynegetic power: fishing for souls rather than hunting for men, persuasion rather than coercion. Pastoral power was defined as antihunting. However, the paradox is that it developed its own cynegetic practices, its own forms of manhunts, pastoral hunts. What fundamentally distinguished the pastoral model from the cynegetic model, and what radically forbade the former to entertain any predatory relationship, was the imperative of caring and protecting. A protective power versus a predatory power: that was the line of opposition. But pastoral hunting took place precisely in the name of protecting the flock. To protect the flock sometimes one has to hunt down certain sheep, to sacrifice a few to save all the others. Here we are no longer in a logic of predatory appropriation but rather in a rationality of salutary ablation and beneficent exclusion.
