I'm not Like you. Hegemonic Masculinity in Contemporary South African Queer Cinema This article aims to describe common cultural types of masculinity in the South African society and illustrate their presence in contemporary local queer cinema. The historical and social circumstances that helped shape dominant South African forms of masculinity will be presented. The theory of hegemonic masculinity, first developed in the 1980s, will also be used. In the latter part of the article, three recent South African films will be analyzed: Beauty (Skoonheid, 2011, dir. O. Hermanus), The Wound (Inxeba, 2017, dir. J. Trengove), and Moffie (2019, dir. O. Hermanus). They will serve as examples of how Afrikaner and indigenous masculinities function, as well as what consequences await individuals who don’t conform to said patterns
