Justine,
Here's two articles on Fight Club and the crisis of masculinity that you
might be interested in:
Faludi, Susan (1999) 'It's Thelma and Louise for guys' Newsweek, 25. Oct,
34 (17): 89
Giroux, Henry A. (2001) 'Brutalised Bodies and Emasculated Politics. Fight
Club, Consumerism, and Masculine Violence' Third Text 53: 31-41
Susan Faludi, author of Stiffed: The Betrayal of Modern Man which is also a
good reading, was very enthusiastic about Fight Club as the film appears to
be an illustration of her lenghty analyses.
Best,
Volker
