The increasing global popularity of men s magazines offers a unique opportunity to studyhow magazines construct and represent masculinity and men, and academic literature thatuse this opportunity primarily focuses on men s magazines as a cultural text and as a culturalphenomenon. The study particularly focuses upon content, ideology and readers of the men smagazines as a cultural text and as a cultural phenomenon. However, it presents views inrelation to men s magazines as a popular media site or type which builds and represents bothmasculinity, and behaviors, attitudes and pleasures peculiar to men. Also, it seeks whetherthey are simply mainstream tools or whether they are offering models of (new) masculinityor male identity to modern men. The objective of the study is to determine how masculinity,men, gender, male identity and heterosexuality are built and represented in men s magazinesand to present a typology of men s magazines, focusing upon content, ideology and readersof the magazines. But, this study isn t an individual feldwork, it s a literature evaluation. Tothis end, a literature review has been conducted on men s magazines that have been published by the global media groups and put on the international men s magazine market. In thiscontext, the study examines what role men s magazines play in modern society as a culturaltext and a cultural phenomenon, and reveals how gender, male identity and heterosexualityare legitimated through sexist discourse(s) produced in men s magazines which eschew femininity and homosexuality.
