Abstract

Antonio Muñoz Molina’s narrative repeatedly shows an antagonism between Spain and the United States that relates to ‘masculinity’, one of the fundamental concepts of Hofstede’s intercultural model. In three of his novels, the author particularly elaborates the different positions both countries take towards the binomial ‘masculinity/femininity’ by means of some of the imagologic strategies outlined by Pageaux. More specifically, lexical opposition, hierarchy of characters and stereotyping at the scenario level put forward the protagonists’ ambivalent attitude towards masculinity, this way illustrating the synergy between empirical intercultural studies and a constructivist imagologic viewpoint as formulated by Leerssen.
