Being the biggest ethnic minority group in Norway, Poles not only dominate in the labourimmigration, but also rank first on the list of family immigration to the country. Atthe same time, the lack of research on parenting and gender roles among intra-Europeanmigrant families may reflect that the Polish migrant families, who have migrated to WesternEurope after 2004, are culturally assumed to be more similar to the host countries’populations. This article therefore aims at filling that gap by exploring the Polish migrantfathers’ conceptualisations of fatherhood and manhood in the migratory context. Thisarticle scrutinises the ways Polish migrant fathers interpret the perceived changes in theirparenting styles and practices after the emigration from Poland and settling with theirfamilies in Norway. It identifies and discusses three main theoretical categories, developedwith the content analysis method: encountering work-life balance, re-evaluating familylife, child and parenting, and reconquering manhood.

Western society and its fi ction faces the overwhelming problem of masculinity and its modeling. The era of war, capitalism, the challenges of feminism aff ect the ideology within which men are constructed both as individuals and as a social group. John Fowles’s fi ction tackles the crucial issue of male power and control as masculinity is put to test and trial in his 1965 novel The Magus. The defi nition of manhood, male virility and social respectability of the period shape the 20th century male characters in Fowles’s fi ction. This paper aims to explore how John Fowles investigates the role of masculinity and power myths on the personal level of relationship and a wider scale of war and capitalism in The Magus. Notions of masculinity off er the protagonist, Nicholas Urfe, a sense of a superiority and power over women in the course of the novel. Among the goals of the project is to examine the mythical journey of Nicholas, which becomes a testing ground of his masculinity and maturity, as well his trial and ‘disintoxication,’ which is intended to help him to reevaluate his life and his relationships with women. One of the issues posed is whether Nicholas Urfe is reborn as a new man at the end of his search for redemption or if he remains the same egotistic, ‘lone wolf’ as he appears in the beginning of the novel.
