        This study of novels, films, and music dating from the late 1970s to the new millennium examines fictional and pop-culture presentations of school shootings, including the 1999 Columbine Massacre. The article also investigates notions of masculinity, normative heterosexuality, fame/ infamy, homophobia, and violence within American culture. The fragility and uncertainty of proper masculine self-expression is unpacked and reimagined across a variety of texts, demonstrating how various authors have negotiated with the notions of teenage masculinity, belonging, isolation, and rage.
        Cette étude de romans, de films et de musique datés de la fin des années 1970 au début du nouveau millénaire s'intéresse aux représentations fictionnelles et populaires de fusillades dans les écoles, notamment celles du massacre de Columbine, en 1999. L'article étudie aussi les notions de masculinité, d'hétérosexualité normative, de gloire et d'infamie, d'homophobie et de violence au sein de la culture étatsunienne. La fragilité et le caractère incertain d'une expression de soi adéquate pour le sujet masculin sont exposés et repensés à partir d'un éventail de textes, afin de montrer comment différents auteurs ont choisi d'aborder les notions de masculinité adolescente, d'appartenance, d'isolement et de rage.
