[ecrea] cfp - I.B. Tauris International Library of Gender in Popular Culture

Gender in Popular Culture
Library editors: Claire Nally and Angela Smith
We invite proposals for monographs to be included in this new library
for I.B.Tauris.
The library is located within the visual culture list at I.B. Tauris,
but has a number of clear links with other series and areas of study:
film, television, art, cultural studies, history and politics, and thus
would engage closely with other I.B.Tauris titles, whilst nonetheless
differentiating itself in a number of ways (a number of our monographs
represent the first theoretical analysis of their subject).
Whilst gender is a heavily theorised subject, our library focuses on the
work of innovative scholarly practice so that in many ways the
monographs we would hope to commission are the first of their kind. We
anticipate monographs which would be of relevance to a wide variety of
disciplines related by the common theme of gender.
The titles in the library are the work of both established and emerging
academics in a variety of disciplines who are analysing gender in
relatively unexplored areas. These innovative and avant-garde titles
would enhance the existing catalogue of I.B. Tauris. Each monograph
would be 70,000 words in length, and include a general introduction by
the series editors to ensure that the links between the titles remain
explicit.
Whilst being emphatically interdisciplinary, the 'visual culture' list
allows for critical texts focusing on gender that would prove
interesting to a wider range of readers in academia and beyond, and
catering to an international audience.
Recently accepted titles include studies of gender in TV news
technology; masculinity and postfeminism; steampunk and gender; and
representations of the single mother in popular cinema. Forthcoming
publications include an exploration of the homosexuality in early
cinema, and an edited collection which explores gender and austerity in
film, television and literature in the twenty-first century.
In the first instance, we invite proposals (to include a summary of the
book's aims and subject matter, chapter headings and an indication of
readership) of about 500 words to be sent to both co-editors
((claire.nally /at/ northumbria.ac.uk) and (angela.smith /at/ sunderland.ac.uk)) by
1st September 2015.
