Abstract-Amidst interpretations of Lebanese masculinity (i.e. hypermasculinity. Lebs rule, swarming packs of Lebanese). This paper attempts to introduce masculinity in lebanon in the framework of Lebanese social identity and its possible links to the Lebanese community in Australia. Investigating the social identity roots of masculinity in Lebanon may help clarify whether the ‘phenomenal’ social performance associated with the Lebanese community in Australian-grown or Australian-misinterpreted. Accordingly, this paper sheds light on the socio-political structure of village identity in Lebanon and its functional dimension as ‘imagined’ community for Lebanese immigrants, specifically for Australian-lebanese. Lebanese-Australians unlike any other Lebanese community outside Lebanon duplicate the Lebanese social fabric. This functionality necessitates a two-fold task. Firstly, it requires demarcating masculinity in the Lebanese village identity. Secondly, it entails the analysis of the grouping patterns of Lebanese community in Australia and the resemblance of such patterns to those in Lebanon in order to trace possible ‘ Imagined’ village-based identity which may be responsible for fostering a masculinity version of the ‘lebanese masculinity’ in Australia. Keywords-lebanese village identity; Lebanese masculinity; Lebanese-australian grouping patterns; imagined identity; Lebanese diaspora.
