This co-authored chapter frames postwar “Second Modernity” as a condition that enables diversification in gay masculinities while also generating new ritualized identity codes. Style, bodily markers, consumer signals, and community habits are treated as patterned practices rather than incidental surface details.
The entry remains important for the archive because it shows the scholarship moving outward from neopagan ritual life into a broader account of queer identity formation and social coding in Quebec.
The preview excerpt confirms the volume context even where the full chapter remains behind the publisher paywall.
