Political, economic, and institutional inequalities have enormous impacts on human problems and people's everyday lives. They create collective experiences of social suffering that may frequently find release through the production of collective imaginaries. Among Peru's marginalized populations, ongoing exposure to both historical memories of colonization and oppression, as well as contemporary encounters with injustice, impoverishment, and inequalities, constitute the scenario for the emergence of an evil character: the pishtaco, almost always a powerful stranger who steals the body fat of indigenous and impoverished individuals. The pishtaco, an ambiguous, fluid, and complex figure, represents various aspects of power and violence that are familiar to people in the Andean region of Peru and Bolivia. This paper examines the myth of pishtaco in Peru, arising from experiences of colonial rule up to the present media news reports and discussions in on-line Peruvian newspaper sites.Keywords: Pishtaco; Structural Inequalities; Resistance; Peru ; Las desigualdades políticas, económicas e institucionales tienen un enorme impacto en lo cotidiano de las personas y en sus problemas diarios. Se producen experiencias colectivas de sufrimiento social que a menudo encuentran alivio a través de la producción de imaginarios compartidos. Entre las poblaciones marginadas/marginales del Perú, la continua exposición a experiencias de colonización y opresión, así como el enfrentamiento a las injusticias, el empobrecimiento y las desigualdades actuales, han constituido el escenario para el surgimiento de un personaje maligno: el pishtaco, que, por lo general, suele ser un extranjero poderoso que roba la grasa humana de los indígenas y de los indigentes. El pishtaco, una figura ambigua, cambiante y compleja, representa diversos aspectos del poder y de la violencia que son muy familiares para los habitantes de las regiones andinas del Perú y de Bolivia. Este artículo analiza el mito del pishtaco en el Perú, desde su surgimiento en la época de la Colonia hasta su representaciones en los medios actuales y los comentarios que aparecen en los periódicos digitales peruanos.Palabras clave: Pishtaco; Desigualdades estructurales; Resistencia; Perú ; Political, economic, and institutional inequalities have enormous impacts on human problems and people's everyday lives.

How are men, masculinities and gender power implicated within global institutions? How are global institutions to be understood in terms of men, masculinities and gender power? What are men up to in such arenas as: global finance, corporate law, military intelligence, world sporting bodies and nationalist politics? Unsustainable Institutions of Men examines men's dealings in transnational processes across the economy, politics, technologies and bodies. In exploring the men's domination of institutions in national and transnational realms this volume underpins a novel approach built around multiple "dispersed centres" of men's power. Indeed, in critical discussions of men and masculinities there has been a gradual shift in focus from the local, so-called 'ethnographic moment', to a broader view encompassing several dynamics (e.g. global, transnational, international, postcolonial and the global north-south) Building on this conceptual move, Unsustainable Institutions of Men focuses on pinpointing masculine actions and influences that support and enact transnational processes, disclosing those connections and examining institutional alternatives which could contribute to more inclusive and democratic transnational dialogues. Comprised of a range of international contributions, Unsustainable Institutions of Men will appeal to students, researchers, experts and activists seeking to understand the deep structural conditions of contemporary globalized threats, created by old and new patterns of gender power and transnational patriarchies.

While there has been a gradual increase in scholarship on men, ageing and masculinities, little attention has been paid to the social relations of men in later life and the implications for enhancing their social wellbeing and counteracting ageist discourse. Bringing together scholars in social gerontology and the social sciences from across Global North and South nations, this collection fills the gaps in key texts by foregrounding older men's experiences. It provides new perspectives across the intersections of old age, ethnicities, class and sexual and gender identity, paying particular attention to older men from seldom heard or marginalised groups
