Abstract

At a general level this paper explores the relationship between fatherhood and masculinity within the everyday experiences of both heterosexual and non-heterosexual men from different Latin American societies. In this context of exploration and using the reproductive body and homosexual kinship as conceptual pivots, observations are made regarding the findings of three studies concerning men and fatherhood presented during the Fifth Man and Masculinities Studies International Congress 2015.
