Article Title：'Pouca sorte com Barbeiros': Masculinity and exile in Jose Rodrigues Migueis
Abstract：
This paper will primarily engage in a close reading of the short story Pouca Sorte Corn Barbeiros by the Portuguese-American author Jose Rodrigues Migueis. Methodologically, my analysis is based on a current debate in gender studies, namely, on the relatively new field of masculinity studies. This short story features representations of exile and masculinity in ways that are particularly recurrent in Migueis's work. The study emphasizes four motifs which especially relate to-and may be illuminated by-questions of exile and the constructions of masculinity. When appropriate, my arguments are supplemented and framed by references to the author's other works. The four motifs are: passage to manhood, representations of women, the intellectual as exile and being Portuguese.
