Feminized Men and Inauthentic Women: Fight Club and the Limits of Anti-Consumerist Critique Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • [1] From the moment of its release, David Finchers 1999 film Fight Club has provoked a great deal of theorizing about gender both inside and outside of academia. Such a cultural event, interesting wide swaths of the movie-going public, media pundits, and academics is rare enough, but when the topic at hand is gender and, more specifically, the pull of gender on men, the response to the film becomes almost as interesting as the film itself.
