Description
Summary:Ideas of Masculinity in the First World War. Impressions from Private Photographs from the “Kaiserjägerarchiv” of Austro-Hungarian Frontline Soldiers This paper explores the concept of masculinity within the Austro-Hungarian army during the First World War. Photographs are used to analyse how masculinity was portrayed in various contexts: on duty, within the military community, around civilians, and in relation to the male body. Connell's concept of 'hegemonic masculinity' is utilised theoretically. It will be demonstrated that, although the soldier was categorised by military ranks, the boundaries of this role were not as strict as they appeared.
