Abstract

In this contribution, the author attempts to critically discuss main issues referred to by Ovidiu Anemţoaicei in his book Male Bodies and Sexual Difference.
A Proposal for a Feminist Corporeo-Ethics (published in Romanian, 2017). Anemţoaicei’s is a new take on relations between male bodies, men, and masculinity that endeavours to implement, in the field of men’s studies, the notion of sexual difference as understood in Luce Irigaray’s thought. His readings of Irigaray’s works lead Anemţoaicei to a postDeleuzian interpretation of the concept of “becoming-man,” which allows him to outline a framework of newly-defined masculinity, a non-hegemonic ethical stance on female and male corporeality.
