[Commlist] CFP: Media representations and narratives of masculinities across Europe

Mon Oct 21 15:30:06 GMT 2019




*Call for papers: Media representations and narratives of masculinities across Europe*

The journal Social Studies is announcing a call for papers for a monothematic issue with a working title Media representations and narratives of masculinities across Europe. The editors of the issue are Inês Amaral and Sofia José Santos (University of Coimbra).

This special issue aims to bring together critical analysis focusing on media representations, discourses, narratives and counter-narratives of what it means to be and behave “like a man” in today’s Europe. It wishes to contribute to a comprehensive reflection on the stereotypes that underlie discourses in the mass media and in the online media, and on how cultural productions co-opt, confront, criticize, renegotiate and seek to promote gender alternatives that challenge gender inequality.

This special issue welcomes theoretical and empirical articles that use qualitative, quantitative or mixed methodologies and focus on media representations and narratives of men and masculinities, their relation to policy and legislation, counter-narratives to the stereotyped representations of gender roles, the relation between feminism and masculinities and the fallout of the MeToo movement, social media activism, digital literacy, critical media literacy and other related topics. Papers focusing on research methods with which to address these issues are also welcome.

Abstracts should be sent to the journal address ((socstud /at/ fss.muni.cz) <mailto:(socstud /at/ fss.muni.cz)>) and to the editors ((ines.amaral /at/ uc.pt) <mailto:(ines.amaral /at/ uc.pt)> and (sjs /at/ ces.uc.pt) <mailto:(sjs /at/ ces.uc.pt)>).  More detailed information is available on request. The deadline for abstract submission is 1st November 2019, full papers are expected by 1st March 2020.
