Abstract:
Dating apps are spaces where masculinities are communicated digitally, affecting inequalities around gender expressions. This study aims to identify the masculinities communicated within Grindr tourism interactions in Tel Aviv and analyze how masculinities shape relations among international tourists and locals. Methods consist of interviews and audio diaries with nineteen tourist, local, and immigrant Grindr users in Tel Aviv. Theories of affordances, hegemonic masculinities, and relational sociology are used to analyze the data. In discussion of the results, the concept of mutual exoticization is put forth to interpret the social dynamics valued within Grindr tourism interactions, thereby revealing oppositional fantasies tied to nationalities and masculinities. The study also explores ethnicity\'s association with social and erotic capital in digital circulations of a localized Mizrahi masculinity. Findings reveal that while hegemonic masculinities are circulated on Grindr, resistance is also a part of Grindr tourism relations around masculinities. This research concludes by shedding light on masculinity inequalities within digital spaces where different nationalities co-congregate, revealing everyday negotiations of gender regimes. Grindr is the site of both reproduction of and resistance to social inequalities around masculinities.

约会应用程序是以数字方式传达男性气质的空间,影响围绕性别表达的不平等。这项研究旨在确定特拉维夫Grindr旅游互动中传达的男性气质,并分析男性气质如何塑造国际游客和当地人之间的关系。方法包括对19位游客的访谈和音频日记,当地,和特拉维夫的移民Grindr用户。负担能力理论,霸权男性,和关系社会学用于分析数据。在讨论结果时,提出了相互外化的概念来解释Grindr旅游互动中所重视的社会动态,从而揭示了与民族和男子气概有关的对立幻想。该研究还探讨了种族与局部Mizrahi男性气质的数字流通中社会和色情资本的关联。研究结果表明,尽管霸权男子气概在Grindr上流传,抵抗也是围绕男性的Grindr旅游关系的一部分。这项研究的结论是,揭示了数字空间中不同民族共同聚集的男性气质不平等,揭示了性别制度的日常谈判。Grindr是围绕男性的社会不平等的繁殖和抵抗的场所。
