Fiction television series are one of the few cultural expressions in which men's infertility experiences are represented. Through a content analysis of twenty fiction series, this article describes and analyzes such representations. By drawing on Connell's concept of hegemonic masculinity and Ricoeur's understanding of paradoxical power structuring, four character types of infertile men are identified: (1) the virile in/fertile man, (2) the secretly non-/vasectomized man, (3) the intellectual eunuch, (4) the enslaving post-apocalyptic man. While these various dramatis persona outline different ways of how infertile men relate to normative hegemonic masculinity, they all represent infertile men as diverging from shared masculine norms. This non-normativity initially excludes many represented men from hegemonic positions. Eventually, however, these men generally aspire to and succeed in reaffirming their hegemonic masculinity through coercive force towards women and other men, through instigating the precondition for any power structure - the shared will to live together as a community -, and/or by seeking and finding explicit recognition for their normativity and dominance. At the end of this paper, I will reflect on the potential harmful effect of these outlined representations of infertile men and make a plea for diversifying representations of infertile men in our culture.

男性不育男性，以及小说电视连续剧中生育霸权男性气质的其他表现

小说电视连续剧是为数不多的体现男性不育经历的文化表达形式之一。本文通过对二十部小说系列的内容分析，对这些表现形式进行描述和分析。通过利用康奈尔的霸权男性气质概念和利科对矛盾的权力结构的理解，确定了四种性格类型的不育男性：（1）阳刚/有生育能力的男性，（2）秘密未/输精管切除的男性，（3）知识分子的太监，（4）被奴役的后世界末日的人。虽然这些不同的戏剧人物概述了不育男性如何与规范的霸权男性气质相关的不同方式，但它们都将不育男性描述为与共同的男性规范不同。这种非规范性最初将许多代表人物排除在霸权地位之外。最终，然而，这些男性通常渴望并成功地通过对女性和其他男性的强制力，通过煽动任何权力结构的先决条件——作为一个社区共同生活的共同意愿——和/或通过寻求和寻找明确承认他们的规范性和支配地位。在本文的结尾，我将反思这些概括的不育男性表现的潜在有害影响，并呼吁在我们的文化中对不育男性的表现进行多样化。和/或通过寻求和发现对其规范性和支配地位的明确认可。在本文的结尾，我将反思这些概括的不育男性表现的潜在有害影响，并呼吁在我们的文化中对不育男性的表现进行多样化。和/或通过寻求和发现对其规范性和支配地位的明确认可。在本文的结尾，我将反思这些概括的不育男性表现的潜在有害影响，并呼吁在我们的文化中对不育男性的表现进行多样化。
