Abstract
- An essay is presented which explores the homosocial and homoerotic epistemology of the locker room with regard to the physical culture movement. Topics discussed include the locker room scene in Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun," the masculine ideal and gay desire associated with muscle building and bodily cultivation, and the spatial logic of the closet compared to sexual subtext of the locker room.
