Abstract This article analyzes the interconnections between masculinity and migration in the work Hemos perdido el sol, by Ángel María de Lera. The novel depicts the challenging experiences of Spanish migrants in Germany in the 1960s and the different conception of gender between Spanish and German cultures. The impact of migration on the main character’s masculinity is threefold. First, migration enhances his traditional sense of masculinity as he escapes poverty and subsequently feels more respected as a man when he achieves economic independence. Secondly, migration negatively affects his masculinity through the insecurities and discrimination he endures abroad. Lastly, although he adjusts his conventional male behavior at the beginning of his extramarital relationship with a German woman, his understanding of virility remains unaltered and he soon restores his traditional Spanish masculinity. The final message of the novel is that Spanish men’s relationships with German women are not meant to be successful due to cultural differences and divergent gender models.

流离失所的西班牙男人:《Hemos perdido el sol》(1963 年)中的男子气概、性欲和移民,安赫尔·玛丽亚·德莱拉 (Ángel María de Lera)

摘要 本文分析了 Ángel María de Lera 的作品 Hemos perdido el sol 中男性气质与移民之间的相互联系。这部小说描绘了 1960 年代西班牙移民在德国的挑战经历以及西班牙和德国文化之间的不同性别观念。移民对主角男子气概的影响是三重的。首先,当他摆脱贫困时,移民增强了他传统的男子气概,随后当他实现经济独立时,他会感到作为一个男人更受尊重。其次,移民通过他在国外忍受的不安全感和歧视对他的男子气概产生了负面影响。最后,虽然他在与一位德国女人发生婚外情时调整了他传统的男性行为,他对男子气概的理解没有改变,他很快就恢复了他传统的西班牙男子气概。小说的最后一个信息是,由于文化差异和不同的性别模式,西班牙男性与德国女性的关系并不意味着成功。
