[Commlist] IJoC Publishes a Special Section on New Feminist Studies in Audiovisual Industries

International Journal of Communication Publishes a Special Section on New
Feminist Studies in Audiovisual Industries

What is the role of current audiovisual practices in the representation of
gender identities and feminist interventions?

This Special Section on New Feminist Studies in Audiovisual Industries,
guest-edited by Maria Pilar Rodriguez, Miren Gutierrez, and Maria J.
Pando-Canteli, offers an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to the
study of the diverse ways in which audiovisual content and advertising
communicate gender identities in the time of social media platforms. This
section focuses on advertising (i.e., femvertising and menvertising),
television series, animation films, and social media platform content (e.g.,
GIFs) to look at crosscutting issues, such as feminism, the anti-feminist
backlash, gender, ageism, and new masculinities, by analyzing texts, images,
discourses, and communicative experiences.
 Together, the contributions in this section provide a wide range of
innovative approaches to academic fields, combining insights and methods to
produce new hybrid research. What these articles have in common is, first,
an effort to provide new knowledge, either by reviewing previous theories
and methodologies to apply them to new contexts, perspectives, and cases, or
by generating new fields of study through interdisciplinary research.
Second, they all share a profound political commitment to work toward gender
equality and social justice. Finally, all of the articles convey the need to
push the boundaries of research and expand traditional academic limits to
achieve new ways of investigating feminist methodologies.  The articles 
also offer a panoramic view of issues that are seldom explored,
despite their relevance, such as new masculinities, women's aging, and
algorithmic biases in audiovisual content. Encompassing all women's life
stages, this Special Section offers a polyhedral and interdisciplinary
assessment on how mediated audiovisual practices and publicity represent
gender identities and enforce or contest feminist efforts. It employs a
varied array of methods and tools—from automatized computing to content
analysis—which also shows how new feminist research is expanding and
developing. Finally, it offers a state-of-the-art review of the latest on
gender and audiovisual products.   We invite you to read these articles 
that published in the International
Journal of Communication on January 6, 2021. Please log into ijoc.org to
read the papers of interest. We look forward to your feedback!
