Call for Papers

Understanding technology as producing meaning, subjectivity, and agency 
shaped by power relations and adopting a critical perspective of 
contemporary digital media, this special issue invites scholars to 
analyse mobile apps affordances, grammars, platform politics and 
content, as well as their uses, appropriations and embodiment, in order 
to make sense on how they are shaping normativity and also challenging 
traditional gender practices and identities.

This special issue welcomes theoretical, empirical and methodological 
original manuscripts that use qualitative, quantitative or mixed 
methodologies and focus, not exclusively, on these topics:

- Do m-apps uses challenge traditional gender practices and identities?

- How do m-apps affordances and grammars convey or challenge binary 
gender dynamics?

- To what extent mediated interfaces reproduce or challenge normative 
imaginaries of gender?

- How do gender identity and/or performances vary across different m-apps?

- What are the legal implications connected to the m-apps in relation to 
gender identity and performances.

- To what extent do uses intertwine with the affordances of these apps?

- How do gender identities and practices are negotiated and imagined in 
user experiences of mobile apps?

- What kind of representations of gender and sexuality are shown by 
m-apps’ design?

- How m-apps reinforce normative representations of practices and 
identities?

- How is it possible to work on m-apps, gender and sexuality from a 
methodological point of view?

- What are the challenges (methodological and ethical) of studying the 
intertwining between gender, sexuality and mobile apps?

Time schedule:

The deadline for the received articles is January 15th, 2023.
