- Abstract:
The article discusses female masculinity in the 1994 Russian film "Hammer and Sickle," directed by Sergei Livnev. The movie is a comedy about a Russian woman who underwent a sex change operation. The film provides a perfect vehicle for thinking about sex and gender, and masculinity and the body, as notions that do not always or necessarily map onto one another. Despite its focus on the production and construction of male subjectivity throughout the movie, it proposes a naturalized relation between maleness and power, between masculinity and action.
