| dcterms.abstract | This dissertation argues the
representation of Lima as a city full of dissident masculinities was the
transformative force behind the changes in hegemonic masculinity, during
Peru's turbulent transition from Spanish colony to independent
republic. Throughout the late colonial period (1790-1820), the sources
of effeminacy and feebleness among Lime??o men were profusely discussed
in Enlightenment newspapers, pamphlets, travel writing, and criminal
records. Two causes were often attributed: the leniency mothers showed
in male child-rearing, and European theories of climatic determinism
positing the unavoidable influence of climate over the masculinity of
the American peoples. A late eighteenth-century satire mocked the
abundance of maricones in Lima, naming it Androginopolis. Displacing the
use of the term 'sodomite,' which referred to a sexual
practice, 'maricones' was repeatedly used to complain
against male cross-dressers, who participated openly in social life
seeking the attention of other men. Beyond the representations of
dissident masculinities (effeminates, petimetres/fops, and maricones),
this dissertation explores the everyday life and sociability of men who
pursued their attraction for other men. The anxieties stirred by
dissident masculinities in colonial aristocratic society gradually faded
away with the rise of new hegemonic masculinities. During the 1820s, the
Liberators San Mart?Án and Bol?Ávar produced an imagery of heroic
masculinities that associated virility with military performance. Such
masculinities contributed to the independent propaganda effort and were
essential in the shift from aristocratic to caudillo hegemonic
masculinity. They served as exemplars for many of the caudillos across
subsequent decades. During the caudillo power struggles in early
Republican Peru (1820-1850), men of diverse political or military
background argued their deeds were meant to defend the fatherland and
protect their children, thereby appealing to the two essential elements
in the hegemonic caudillo masculinity. By the time Peru finally attained
political and economic stability during the mid-1850s, the caudillo
masculinity had been superseded by a new, fatherhood-centered
masculinity. The subculture of maricones disappeared from public eye.
Hegemonic masculinity gradually adapted to bourgeois gender values,
thereby exalting the father's capacity as breadwinner, and his
ability to discipline, and offer moral guidance to, his household and
progeny. | |
