Renaissance Man, Man of his Times: Norman Mailer’s "The White Negro" and Literary Manhood in 1950s America by Matthew Kriz

“…Cet article suggère qu’une lecture mesurée de l’essai peut être faite en l’examinant à la fois à partir de la place qu’il occupe dans la tradition littéraire américaine (et de la manière dont Mailer la perçoit), tradition considérant l’auteur comme un génie (mâle) persécuté et éprouvant le besoin d’échapper aux contraintes d’une société (féminisante), et en même temps comme la réflexion de quelqu’un qui est préoccupé par les questions des années 50 : conformité, culture de masse et problèmes raciaux. Il propose que l’essai soit lu comme une condamnation de la définition de la masculinité dans les années 50, la solution donnée par Mailer à ce problème étant la libération sexuelle, ce qui équivaut à un repositionnement de la masculinité américaine, qui n’est pas vue uniquement comme définie par une classe moyenne blanche hétérosexuelle.…”
