Humanities Journal Special Edition: Media Feminisms / Feminism’s Media: 
(Re)Framing Media Feminist Theory

The aim of this special edition of the Humanities is to (re)evaluate, 
(re)articulate and/or (re)introduce broad feminist viewpoints in 
contemporary media theory – with both ‘media’ and ‘theory’ broadly and 
interdisciplinarily conceptualised.
Whilst the meticulous contemporary work in feminist media studies 
reflects a wide variety of theoretical viewpoints and makes use of an 
even wider variety of methodological tools, it is the editors’ view that 
the compulsory anchoring of contemporary feminist theory to existing 
socio-economic, political and, most importantly, disciplinary 
constraints prevents us from freeing up critical work in the field to 
address the challenges that are yet to come.
Therefore, we invite colleagues working in media, literature, 
philosophy, politics, history, sociology, gender studies and related 
fields, to submit imaginative proposals that would articulate broad 
theoretical positions capable of framing feminism(s) and feminist media 
theory in the twenty-first century – or, indeed, question the very need 
for such ‘framing’. We also invite work that produces critical research 
through practice.
Though we do not wish to limit the scope of contributions, we envision 
submissions broaching feminism through the following themes:  Class 
consciousness Representation
New materialisms Policy and/or the political economy of the media 
Aesthetics Visualisation
Mobilities
Sexuality
Transnationalism
Race and/or ethnonationalism
Age: discrimination and/or intergenerational activism
Abstracts should not exceed 400 words, and they should articulate a 
clear theoretical framework and proposed bibliography (the latter not 
included in the abstract word-limit).
Completed contributions should not exceed 10,000 words (including notes 
and bibliography). For in-text referencing and bibliography please see
