Working Class Masculinities in the Interwar Years: Youth, Leisure and Identity

Abstract
Vivid narratives of youth and adolescence have dominated popular understanding of young people's lives. They have shaped government youth policy, influenced the academic projects of youth researchers and fed the appetites of the media and general public, often at the expense of understanding 'the mundane and humdrum experiences' which are most young people's lot. Historians have found 'good copy' in youth indiscipline, street gangs and delinquency, although these have only ever involved a minority of boys. Popular scrutiny of young people's lives (particularly young men) still focuses on the more outrageous as dramatic stereotypes continue to obscure the essential conformity of the majority. This project represents a response to the need for a different history of youth, one which places the historical experiences of working-class young males in the context of broader gender changes and which challenges dominant stereotypes of male adolescents as either 'youth in trouble' or 'youth as trouble'; one which explores neglected issues of adolescent 'compliance' and conformity and which demonstrates how meanings and representations of adolescent masculinity were/are nuanced in ways which have often been disregarded or under-estimated. The project argues that historical scholarship needs to move beyond one-dimensional analyses which privilege exceptional youth behaviour or particular types of youth conformity based on the archival dominance of the organized youth movement. It contributes to a more nuanced understanding of youthful masculinities, particularly mainstream youth by assessing the quieter, conformist attitudes and behaviours usually absent in examinations of male youth culture. Educationalists and youth workers were at the forefront of concerns about how best to inculcate manliness in a new generation of working-class young men in the interwar years and the research contrasts this rhetorical masculinity with the pragmatic everydayness of boys' own involvement with the activities they encouraged. It suggests how exposure to more relaxed social and emotional codes through the popular press and commercial entertainment subtly influenced young men's sense of self during adolescence and explores how new models of personal behaviour and social interaction influenced the self-image and anxieties of working-class boys and young men, particularly in relation to images of the body during the 1930s, the 'first decade to feel the full impact of mass media on society'. The 'glamour photography' of the popular press signified the growing sexualisation of the female body and the research argues that this has tended to over-shadow its complex implications for young men's bodies and notions of the male physique, as new visual forms helped shape male self-consciousness and sensitivity to body image and fashion. More relaxed social relationships and sexualized leisure spaces such as the dance floor offered young men novel opportunities to perform and be seen yet also introduced new anxieties and uncertainties to the male world of adolescent feeling, which the research explores in relation to individuals and through the advice columns of the popular press. It also examines how everyday activities such as cycling and walking shaped male social identity during adolescence, helping to invest place and locality with particular masculine meanings. An extensive range of qualitative evidence and contemporary surveys are used to explore these issues, including newspapers, magazines, autobiographies, oral histories, letters, Mass-Observation and the records of the boys' club movement. The project's most unusual primary source is my father's diaries, written in his mid teens in 1930s' Northampton, which are carefully contextualised in relation to these broader trends and developments.

Description | This AHRC grant allowed me to a write monograph which explored adolescent masculinities in the first half of the twentieth-century, Being Boys: Youth, Leisure and Identity in the Inter-War Years (Manchester University Press, 2012, paperback 2014). Being Boys focused on mainstream youth and assessed the quieter, conformist attitudes and behaviours usually absent in examinations of male youth culture. The book illustrated the more ambivalent areas in which youthful identities were made, arguing that not only young women but young men had to negotiate new models of personal behaviour in the interwar years as commercial leisure developments opened up new imaginative worlds and opportunities for intimacy and public display. Research for Being Boys developed ideas which were incorporated into my AHRC follow-on funding award, 'Passions of Youth and also informed my next book on youth history, Making Youth: A History of Youth in Modern Britain (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016). Identity development during adolescence is a difficult area (Warren) and existing research largely neglected uncertainties of self-esteem and confidence often masked by contemporary expectations of masculinity. This research addressed the complex historical question of how male adolescents expressed thoughts, emotions and behaviours which did not fall within the boundaries of the acceptably male (Frosh, Phoenix, Pattman). It questioned how young men negotiated areas of anxiety and vulnerability, asking how youthful masculinity was re-conceptualised in the shadow of the World War One (Davis; Pearson; Beaven). It examined the commemorative significance of working class young men in the 1920s (Proctor) and explored a range of leisure activities, formal and informal, through which they negotiated their experiences of the teen years in the interwar period. |
Exploitation Route | Research explored the agency and skills young people developed in everyday life and their leisure environment. The subsequent 'Passions of Youth' project, based on these findings, suggested how such tacit skills might be used to enhance the self-belief and confidence of working-class young men by developing co-produced research into the history and meanings of shared leisure passions, bringing participants into contact with agencies they might not otherwise have encountered, such as local museums and archives. The approaches on which the 'Passions of Youth' project were based suggest how history geared to the specific leisure/hobby interests of youth might be used to inform collaborative projects which foster pride in the heritage and legacy of these passions and a personal sense of satisfaction and achievement through the development of new skills (research training, oral history training, film-making and photography) that help build social and cultural capital, enhance resilience, and encourage individual and social agency. |

Results and Impact | This historical and artistic representation of Kathe Buchler's photographs was part of the AHRC 'Voices of War and Peace' Engagement Centre at the University of Birmingham and nuanced ideas of children, young people and the everyday that had been explored in the Passions project and by the earlier AHRC award. The exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery, co-created by historian Melanie Tebbutt and creative practitioner Jacqueline Butler, was inspired by the everyday activities of children on the home front in Germany, in particular by the collecting 'passion' of a young German boy in support of the war effort, which was used to present a different perspective of the WW1's impact on the civilian population. Several hundred visitors attended the exhibition, which lasted a month (1st Feb. - 2nd March). The launch attracted c. 130 visitors. Comments about the exhibition, Buchler's work and the role of children (and women) on the home front were as follows. HAS THE EXHIBITION AFFECTED YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF GERMANY IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR? 1. 'No, but it has made me reflect on WW1. More on German casualties than on England's'. 2. Yes. Didn't realise how much suffering occurred because of the Allied embargo. I feel that this is a topic that isn't highlighted often. WW1 Germany is something I don't think I have ever given thought to. 3. Yes, the children are blameless. 4. It has improved it (knew nothing before). 5. The exhibition showed that women and children replaced the men during the war. They were doing jobs which only men did at the time. 6. Yes, although the historical awareness I have is quite deep, this exhibition shows many faces, bringing it much more close. 7 I think we usually get a one-sided view of the war, so it is good to see the other side, especially how similar it was. 8. Not affected but reinforced. It has shown that war affects everyone. 9 More peaceful than I imagined, although "camera" might have made them look happier. 10. Seems more desperate, less febrile or pastoral. 11. That they were normal people too - not just a blanket group that represent one thing. It has given me more of an insight of how little people had. 12. Well, not mine as I do research on war studies and war. For me it just confirms what I already knew about the home front and the war. 13. Yeah. I thought it would have been a really bleak, dark time, but it wasn't too much. 14. Yeah, the exhibition shows a different side to war in Germany, whereas normally you get the view from just the military side. 15. This side you're actually seeing the effects on the civilians behind, and the women and children, and how it effected the country of Germany and not just the men on the front line. Perhaps. 16. It's difficult to think of Germany during the first world war. When you think it was the Germans and - you kind of think of the UK and us when you think of the war. 17. No, I don't think so. 18. Yes. Perhaps. It's difficult to think of Germany during the first world war. When you think it was the Germans and - you kind of think of the UK and us when you think of the war. 19. It has probably informed it, yeah. 20. It has not changed it. It's developed it. Although the photographs are of a very rich upper-middle class without really showing the starvation which increasingly affected Germany thanks to our naval patrols. 21. Not really because I was aware of my mother's struggles, so in that aspect no, but I'm probably the wrong person to ask that to. 22. I think it's very easy to look at our own - I say people - but our own country in that time of need and see that perspective, whereas to see that gives you a bit of insight into what it was like from that side. 23. We're all human. WHAT DO THESE PHOTOGRAPHS EVOKE FOR YOU? 1. Mysticism - rare in classic 'war photography'. 2. I think for me, I see a woman interrupted. A woman who wanted to photograph bright flowers and instead found herself in the grips of war; photographing the highs and lows of the forgotten. 3. Melancholia. Lovely composition of subjects. 4. Makes you think of Germany as a nation of people. 5.I feel these images represent something more than the physical attributes of a photograph. Empathy for the struggle back home. 6. Childhood nostalgia and creativity. 7. I have two connections as I have seen a few examples of Mrs Buchler's work in Braunschweig, and secondly in the GDR. 8. Children did collect paper, bottles and cards, similar to the collector Mrs Buchler photographed. 9. A connection with my history. 10. Common experiences of people on all sides of the war: relative wealth of many of those photographed. 11. Pictures of my mother's childhood in Germany. 12. I found they are very charming and beautiful. 13. Dissonance in 'live' feeling of existance and blank despair. 14. Sad, contemplative? 15. The children could probably sense the tension and fear of the period but they were oblivious to what horror was really happening. 16. Shows that you don't need a digital camera to take great images. 17. Very powerful images which really make you think about WW1 and how people lived and worked at a much younger age. 18. Germany in the 90s. 19. For me it was the pictures of the children. How they were, at the same time, aware of the war and unaware of the war. So how they play with these notions of conflict and how war has become the 'new normal' for them; so trying to get a rabbit just for contributing to the war effort represents that very well. 20. I don't want to say cliché stuff like nostalgia or stuff like that. I enjoyed them, it just made me not happy but satisfied, content. 21. I want to say nostalgic, but not nostalgic to me. Nostalgic in history. 22. My dad was a keen collector of World War I and World War II books, so for me, it drew me back to my childhood memories. He would talk about both the wars in quite a bit of detail to me, so that brought back to me a sort of nostalgia for me On similar lines when you see a German series like Das Boot, where you see it from a different perspective, it kind of helps you to see it through their eyes rather than from an outside perspective. 23. I thought that was quite powerful. My mother's German and she grew up in the second world war, and it reminded me of her hardships, which people don't really think about at all, particularly in this country. It's all about the British struggle, but everybody struggles in war. There's no goodies or baddies. GENERAL COMMENTS 1. A very interesting worthwhile exhibition - especially the theme of the effects of war on children. Well worth coming to see. 2. Made interesting comparison to UK material. 3. Really enjoyable! Wish there were more to see! 4. Enjoyable! Emotionally moving! Informative! I have seen many of the exhibitions on WW1 but this is the first on Germany. It shows that the suffering in Germany was similar to that in Britain. 5. Thank you for bringing these photographs to the UK. It's striking how these images help us to find - and also to regret the loss of - the common ground between life in Germany & life in the UK during WW1: a time that we must try to understand. WHAT QUESTIONS DOES THE EXHIBITION RAISE FOR YOU? 1. Class boundaries 2. Was the war equal after all? Each side has forgotten ones. 3. The text raises questions about the true poverty of the time 4. Why did we ever go to war? 5. How much do we truly know (in this day and age) about life pre-WW1 6. If there can be more like this When and where can I see all the other photos? 7. What were the daily hardships the civilian population had to endure? 8. How hard for the people in everyday lives are. 9. What we chose to throw away in belonging. If there was a 'we'. 9. How could war have happened twice? :( Who does war benefit? 10. For me the biggest question I have looking back is how she was able to take the photos at the time. Obviously some of the photos, although they've been staged, others are more scenes showing people in everyday scenarios, people casually performing their tasks and duties and jobs. Also, where she was one of the first people to experiment with colour photography, I'd be interested to know how she did it. I'm going to find out more about it. I'd like to know more about her. 11. There was some information about - she undertook some training and there was only one course that was open to women, so I'd like to know more about that. It linked up with an exhibition which I saw at The Tate, which was also by a German photographer of ordinary working people, so it was interesting to see that but this was from a women's perspective. 12. When can we see the other photographs? I'd like to see more. 13. I definitely have a different view on pre-World War One Germany. |

Results and Impact | Talk, Problem pages in teenage magazines in the 1960s and 1970s at Lancashire Archives. Presented as part of Women's History Month. Led to discussion about how sexual attitudes and behaviour have changed and the challenges that face teenagers today, particularly in relation to the internet and pornography. Feedback was positive and led to invitations to deliver a similar lecture to other groups around the region. Comments included: It brought back many memories! It makes you think about young people today and what it's like for them to be teenagers. It was good to hear about the context in which these letters were written, to think about their background. It reminded me of how sexually ignorant I was when I got married. I knew nothing. I knew nothing about periods so was deeply shocked when they started. |
