#MeToo, toxic masculinity, Donald Trump, incels, the manosphere… there 
are numerous ways that questions of masculinity, power and violence have 
acquired increased urgency in the current historical moment. This 
symposium investigates the implications of the ways these issues are 
being mediated, whether that be on our television and cinema screens or 
through the online spaces where both new and older forms of masculine 
power are being consolidated and contested.
