- There existed a great ambivalence concerning masculinity and its relationship to religion in the decades around the last turn of the century. The historical encoding process of religion, from gender neutral to feminine, have in general been interpreted as something solely negative for the constitution of masculinity during this period. Consequently, religious encoded masculinities have been deemed as deviations from the norm; as a negative feminisation. This assumption does not consider secularisation as an ongoing process, instead taking secularisation for granted when in fact Christianity and religiousness were still very much alive throughout Western societies. The focus for this article have been to examine images of Christ and Christ-like characters in Swedish and American films, and also how ordinary religious male characters were received, and what functions these images of religious manhood performed in these films, and society at large. The clear tendency was that a modern, more active masculinity was on its way to oust an older, more passive masculinity based on spiritual values – manifested, for example, in that films with clear religious themes were enacted in a distant past. However, the contemporary reception clearly shows that the images of these religious male characters were not feminised due to religion. Instead, spiritualised forms of masculinities functioned as a legitimate alternative alongside modern masculinity. This indicates that religion was not yet essentially encoded as ‘feminine’. Although some forms of masculine encoded emotions were controlled in the public, this did not at all include softer expressions of emotions that in earlier research have been explained as signs of femininity in relation to an ideal masculinity. Conversely, the predicament for spiritualised masculinities occurred when narratives included a woman (the love story), which unavoidably tilted the focus from the soul to the masculine body, thereby (hetero)sexualising the male character in a way that often worked as a feminisation.

- In this article, two case studies from 1921–22 and 1971 respectively, are juxtaposed in order to determine change in official attitudes and screening contexts for pornographic films. Focusing in the first case on an exhibitor who in 1922 was convicted of screening an obscene film on three occasions the year before, and in the other case on the range of venues for pornographic films in Malmö the month before the removal of the obscenity clause from the penal code in Swedish law, the authors conclude that public but secret screenings of clandestinely circulated films for all-male audiences did take place in 1921. The question can be raised as to whether women also sometimes attended. In 1971, however, one could see semi-pornographic feature films in regular cinemas and hardcore short films at so called sex clubs which also featured strip and live shows. Referring to a survey published in 1969, in which a slight majority of the informants were against pornography, the authors finally argue that perhaps the authorities had undergone the greatest transformation in attitude, whereas the general public only changed their views slightly between 1921 and 1971.
