| Sumario: | The Italian rock group Måneskin was awarded in Eurovision Song Contest´ 2021. Since then, its global audience was growing up and its impact has been remarkable, even entering the Billboard charts. Måneskin were labled as glam rock, genre well-known for its inauthenticity and its challenge to rock´s heteronormativity through androgyny, transvestism, and the understanding of gender as a performance, features came up from camp and effeminate masculinity linked with gay. In this research, we make a brief approach to Måneskin´s gender discourse, applying the concept defined, among others, by Bridges and Pascoe of “hybrid masculinity”. In first section we examine how, despite its glam features, Måneskin articulate a discourse focused on rock authenticity strategies, which are related to masculinity and homosociality. For this analysis, we took specially into account Måneskin´ performance of Zitti e buoni in ESC. Second, we examine hybrid masculinity in Måneskin through its singer Damiano David, its bassist Victoria de Angelis, and I wanna be your slave video. Thus, we highlighted how Måneskin's hybrid masculinity shows the negotiations in which masculinity is currently inserted. |
