/Feminist Media Histories: An International Journal/
/
/
*Special Issue on Middle Eastern Media*
Guest Editor: **Eylem Atakav

We invite proposals for a special issue of /Feminist Media
Histories/ devoted to Middle Eastern Media.  Considerations of
difference in religion, nationality, race and ethnicity remain crucial
to interrogating feminist media histories across diverse social and
political contexts.  This special issue will explore feminist media
histories in the Middle East, through an examination of different media
forms, practices, audiences, and institutions.  We are interested in
articles that are historical in scope and that consider a range of media
including film, television, radio, video, playable media, and digital
technology.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  * women's media production and pioneers
  * feminist activism and/in the media
  * women's use of media
  * gender politics, cultural identity and the media
  * women as consumers of media

We are also interested in photo essays, oral history interviews, and
reprints of notable original documents.

Interested contributors should *contact guest editor Eylem
Atakav* directly, sending a 300-word proposal no later than *February 1,
2016: *(E.Atakav /at/ uea.ac.uk) <mailto:(E.Atakav /at/ uea.ac.uk)>.**Contributors
will be notified by March 1, 2016; articles will be due June 1, 2016.
