When the Breadwinner Is Locked At Home: Interaction of Domesticity and Masculine Identity

Through a qualitative study, this research explores gender performativity of the breadwinner identity among Indian men, forced to experience domesticity during the pandemic. By applying the concepts of emotional labor and dramaturgy, it finds that male consumers cope with domesticity by symbolic means of appropriation and re-interpretation of their home.
