| description | This article studies the tricks and practices of Greek conscripts to defend and create an intimate space in the barracks. During the compulsory service the institution takes control of all aspects of conscripts’ lives resulting in the domestication of their sexuality. Conscripts form gangs of boys, peer groups engaged in a form of institutional resistance associated by bonds of male camaraderie, which allow them to access sexual activities in a collective manner: group seduction, collective flirting, rearranging the schedule to facilitate an intimate encounter, visits to brothels. Using data from semi-structured interviews and participant observation, and mobilizing analytical tools from the sociology of the military and sociology of gender, I examine gendered criteria for exclusion and inclusion in those gangs: access to these tight-knit groups is allowed only to those who demonstrate heteronormative sexuality and manifested masculinity. |
