Reading from the booklet: Booklet 06 The Great Recession and masculinity crisis vs Todd and Jack Hoffman.
28 pages black and white. Text and image collage. In
this booklet, I look at the very first episode of GOLD RUSH ALASKA, and how it is framed relating to the great recession in 2008. A Group of unemployed guys decides to ”ball up and go out into the frontier” and dig for gold. I specific case study of how ”real” masculinity relates to blue-collar- and rural- even frontier-masculinity. In the end, the booklet even turns itself into a cowboy and Indian comic-book to show one way how masculine archetypes are ‘given’ to young boys.
