In this podcast, I investigate how masculinity archetypes have been created and if we might say that they today are used as a form of propaganda against equality. From five perspectives, in five ‘chapters’ I try to show how different masculinities have been cultivated for certain reasons in history, such as colonial expansion, or industrial production. I want to learn, and chare, contribute to consciousness-raising, by showing how archetypes like the ‘frontiersman’ were created and are reused time and time again...

….. I want to destabilize the belief that these archetypes are examples of old, ‘real’ or ‘genuine ’ masculinities. Contemporary reality tv-series Gold Rush, displays a frontier masculine archetype. This I think is part of a pattern of reusing masculinities that have been used and developed in very problematic correlations. What processes and structures are behind the propaganda-like reuse of these masculine archetypes today? How can I show that they are not suitable in today’s society and that they become toxic, both inward and outward?….
