[Commlist] CFP Mediating sexualities

Fri Oct 04 09:31:32 GMT 2019



Call for Papers for an international conference Mediating sexualities. The sexual politics of media production and regulation to be held at Lille University, France, November 3rd-4th 2020.

This conference aims at building bridges across national and disciplinary contexts by bringing together English and French-speaking scholars who work at the crossroads of media studies and sexuality studies. We call for papers examining the processes through which sexuality is mediated, with special interest in media genres and sectors that may not appear as “sexual” at first sight. Indeed, the queer starting point of this conference is that all media, even those that present as “non-sexual”, are actually actively involved in sexual politics, for instance through the claim of sexual decency. This also implies that all sexualities, even those that present as natural and timeless – starting with heterosexuality –, are actually the product of cultural processes, in which the media play a key role.

We welcome paper proposals in English or French, from any social science or humanities discipline, that address both media and sexuality from a critical perspective. Proposals should be no more than 500 words and make clear their theoretical and methodological background. Proposals can be sent to (mediasexlille2020 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(mediasexlille2020 /at/ gmail.com)> until January 6st, 2020. They will undergo peer-review by an international academic advisory board

The project coordinators: Béatrice Damian-Gaillard, Florian Vörös,
and the organising committee: Juliette Dalbavie, Marion Dalibert, Steve Hill, Coralie Le Caroff, Béatrice Micheau, Sandy Montañola, Eugénie Saitta
