Sumario:This article approaches the establishment of the study of masculinity(ies) by understanding it as a contribution of feminism. A short review of pioneering studies is carried out in order to highlight, in particular, the questioning of hegemonic masculinity (CONNELL, 1995) and, subsequently, the diffusion of masculinity studies in Brazil is discussed through the debate on the crises of the masculine and the notion of the “new man”, as well as the importance of the historical-social perspective for the comprehension of the new masculine identities.
