Summary/Abstract: As the title suggests, the paper at hand will begin by investigating the way masculinity is codified, specifically looking at the vast array of recent handbooks and guides which set out not only qualities of a man, or prescriptions, but also a science for such, and a science for how to become and be made into a man. In these it sees a way of trying to solidify a masculinity rather than understanding a version of masculinity.
