Summary: | The construction of masculinity in 40 to 50 year old men is examined on the
example of playing recreational football at the Belgrade indoor soccer fields
from the second half of the first decade of this century onwards. Playing
football is seen as a particular form of male body use in organizing
individual leisure time and its symbolical use in establishing notions of
masculinity. The theoretical concept of hegemonic masculinity is
problematized and it is shown that it does not reflect the empirically
determined state in our surroundings. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
