Retrofitting Frontier Masculinity for Alaska's War Against Wolves
本文通过分析《安克雷奇每日新闻》的文章，扩展了Connell的边疆男性气质概念，解释阿拉斯加狼群政策如何从强调猎人权利转向一种新的“复古边疆男性气质”，以支持激进的灭狼项目。
The state of Alaska has a complex historical relationship with its wild wolf packs. The authors expand Connell's concept of frontier masculinity to interpret articles from the Anchorage Daily News as an alternative way to understand Alaska's shifting wolf policies. Originally, state policies were shaped by frontier masculinity and characterized by claims of sportsmen's rights to kill wolves. With the reinstitution of an aggressive wolf-eradication project, Alaska policy makers retooled frontier masculinity. This altered form of masculinity, retro frontier masculinity, is constructed at the state level and deploys new strategic emphases: vilifying opponents as feminized sissies, casting wolf hunters as paternalist protectors, reifying the masculine family provider role, and framing the issue as fundamentally about competition.
