DUARTE-SCKELL, Jazmín. Elements for Understanding the Construction of Paraguayan Military Masculinity in the 20^th century. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2021, n.41, pp.143-166.  Epub 29-Jul-2021. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n41.88427.

Paraguayan military masculinity is one of the models of masculinity settled in the Paraguayan collective imagination because it is the central axis of the heroic nationalist discourse, the basis of national identity. This article analyzes the construction of military masculinity in the twentieth century based on existing research on authoritarianism and nationalism in Paraguay, seeking to make visible the process of establishing this masculinity through its symbolic expression, its relevance in political practice and its reproduction in the educational sphere. Without being the only one, it is one of the hegemonic masculinities of the country that should be understood as historically constructed and propelled by the authoritarian state.

Palavras-chave : gender; masculinity; military masculinity; nationalism; authoritarianism; Paraguay.
