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

*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.
