Burned by the Torch of the Incendiary”
During the early Gold Rush period, San Francisco’s seaport was hastily constructed on a site that was ill-fit for its purpose. Challenges included firstly the need for incoming vessels to be unloaded by hand onto smaller vessels in order to bring goods ashore and, secondly, a series of six great fires over eighteen months, from December 1849 to mid-1851. The fires, which repeatedly burned San Francisco’s seaport to the ground, staggered the confi…

The Marketing of Better-For-You Health Products in the Emergent Issue of Men's Obesity
Focussing on the male consumer, this article illustrates the links between the health-orientated marketing of filtered cigarettes, light beer and low calorie soft drinks. In so doing, this article speaks to two specific contemporary issues.

Furthermore, by establishing these connections (between tobacco, alcohol…
It is just not part of the culture here”
In this article we consider young adults' photo-narratives about smoking and quitting and their linkages to themes of healthy lifestyles and the culture of place in Vancouver, Canada. Drawing from a pilot study using participant-driven photography with a group of twelve young women and men ages nineteen to twenty-six, participants' visual and narrative representations of being a smoker and the process of quitting smoking were analyzed. Findings s…
From Promotion to Cessation
In the United States, analysis of survey data provided by projects such as the National Health Interview Survey and the Youth Tobacco Survey has revealed the extent to which cigarette consumption patterns are influenced by gender and race. Taking our lead from a broader field of research that analyzed the sociological characteristics of cigarette consumption, we analyzed these intersections between race and gender through a study of masculinity a…
Tobacco and the invention of quitting
Since the rise of concern about the relationship between smoking and health in the 1950s and 1960s, the tobacco industry has emphasised notions of individual choice to negate the arguments of the public health sector and legitimatise the industry's presence in the marketplace. Central to this notion of individual choice has been the idea that the control of tobacco consumption (including quitting) is a function of will-power and that smokers can …
From the Physician to the Marlboro Man
The 'More doctors smoke camels' advertising campaign ran from 1946 until 1954. The campaign featured a series of advertisements centered around and celebrating the physician in American life. Neatly bookending the demise of the physician was the appearance, in 1955, of the Marlboro Man. The dominant figure in the Marlboro Man campaign was the cowboy. This shift away from the physician to the cowboy will be situated in the context of 1950s fears a…
Save Us from the Womanly Man
Over a very short period, between approximately 1905 and 1908, surf bathing on the ocean beaches of Sydney, Australia, was reinvented as a national pastime. The primary focus of this reinvention was the exposed male body, which emerged as a visual symbol of a racially hygienic and pure, virile, militarized, and natural Australian masculinity. The author argues that, far from constituting a natural space, the idealized male body needs to be unders…
Promenading and picnicking
A brief discussion on analysis of masculinity as a complex form of social power, or discourse is examined. The relations between men and men, and men and women are presented specifically focussing on the performance of middle-class masculinity in Sydney during the mid-nineteenth century via the picnic and the promenade. Middle-class masculinity and the rituals through which it is performed, the picnic and the promenade, are not entirely hegemonic…
