*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Gender and/or Feminist Communication and Culture Studies begin to show a strong consolidation at the academia, whether at an International level or in the Portuguese context. In this area of research it is increasingly important to deconstruct a social categorization that promotes and reifies asymmetries of power, the single axis and universal gender thinking; and seek to question matrices of domination and subordination, inequalities and privileges.

The thematic dossier presented here aims to compile theoretical, methodological and empirical proposals focused in the area of communication and culture, based on a intersectional position (Crenshaw, 1991; Nogueira, 2011, 2013; May, 2014; McCall, 2005). This perspective is meant to emphasize the existence of multiple axes of inequality; still it is not limited to the mere addition of categories, but the interlacing with gender - although not a hierarchical matrix (May, 2014) - which is proposed as part of a political promotion of equality, citizenship and of the democratic system (McCall, 2005; Nogueira, 2011, 2013).

Therefore this call for papers invites the submission of proposals from different disciplines of national, international and/or comparative scope, seeking to rebut singular and delimited categorical approaches, which clearly adopt stances of under- or over- group inclusion and thus ignore concrete experiences of individuals who position themselves at the intersection of various social groups (Crenshaw, 2002). Thus, we intend to reflect on the study of communication and culture starting from a broad proposal, theoretical and policy, which aims to escape the social matrix that "subject intersectionality to epistemic forms of domination that aims to deconstruct" (May, 2014, 95). Noteworthy, finally, the importance of looking at the communication and culture in its many variants as elements / deconstruction instruments hierarchies of personhood by promoting closer representations of individual idiosyncrasies; but also stimulating a literacy promotion for the sociocultural diversity.

Entrenched in a contemporary feminist perspective, that goes beyond the issues of men and women and that includes a "much broader spectrum, for its hyphenation [...] with other movements and other social and political concerns" (Oliveira, 2015, 75), this thematic dossier of /ex aequo/ seeks to give voice and visibility to contributions which have as their object of analysis intersectionality in the study of communication and culture.

These include, but are not excluded by default from others in the same scope of work, proposals reflecting theoretical, methodological and empirical about the following:

???Reflections that perspective gender studies and feminist media at its opening to the theory of intersectionality.

???Theoretical and methodological conceptualizations on the integration of the theory of intersectionality in the study of communication and culture.

???Critical analysis, based on the theory of intersectionality, applied to several axes of communicational and culture production (production, representation and / or reception).

???Reflective reviews of multi-determined structures of oppression and privilege and their potentiation in / by the media.

???Reports, mediated, of visibility processes, "voicing" and meaning facing of, intra- and inter-categorical, matrixes of privilege and oppression.

???Critical assessment of public policy and / or professional integration of diversity practices by / in media production.

???Intersectional placements that reflect on the uses and potential of media and cultural literacy.

???Movements and protest actions of multi-oppressive power hierarchies within the culture and communication fields.
