MASCNET: Masculinity Sex and Popular Culture Network

Masculinity and National Identity

Village Berlin

Friday 17th January 2020

*Call for Papers*

Following on from the success of our network launch at BCU in May 2019 
themed around masculinity and body image our next network event in 
Berlin in January 2020 takes the topic of Masculinity and National 
Identity as a starting point for conversation around some of the 
following themes:

  * National/regional masculinities
  * The sexualisation of regional/ethnic masculinity
  * Masculinity and national identities and intersections of sexuality,
    racial, religious, ethnic, class, etc. identities
  * Intra/international constructions and articulations of masculinity
    and national identity
  * Politics & ideology (incl. far-left and far-right articulations),
    including but not limited to: extremism, populism, activism,
    nationalism, separatism, neoliberalism
  * On/offline representation(s) and performance(s) of masculinity and
    national identity
  * Media discourses of masculinity and national identity
  * Men’s (online) groups and forums

We invite individual papers, pre-constituted panels, poster 
presentations, video presentations, or short performance pieces that 
address the theme of the symposium. We intend to convene several 
roundtable discussions so we particularly welcome 5 to 10 min position 
papers on topics related to masculinity and national identity in the 
21st century from any field of study. These are topics that relate 
popular debate and media reportage, educators and policy makers and we 
are keen to involve practitioners and non-academics in our discussions 
and events.

Please send a 300-word abstract and short bio (max. 100 words) to 
Charlie Sarson (charlie.sarson /at/ bcu.ac.uk) or enquiries to Professor John 
Mercer (john.mercer /at/ bcu.ac.uk) and

Professor Clarissa Smith (clarissa.smith /at/ sunderland.ac.uk)

Deadline for proposals 18th October 2019

Attendance will be free.
