[Commlist] CFP Mediating sexualities

Call for Papers for an international conference Mediating sexualities. 
The sexual politics of media production and regulation to be held at 
Lille University, France, November 3rd-4th 2020.

This conference aims at building bridges across national and 
disciplinary contexts by bringing together English and French-speaking 
scholars who work at the crossroads of media studies and sexuality 
studies. We call for papers examining the processes through which 
sexuality is mediated, with special interest in media genres and sectors 
that may not appear as “sexual” at first sight. Indeed, the queer 
starting point of this conference is that all media, even those that 
present as “non-sexual”, are actually actively involved in sexual 
politics, for instance through the claim of sexual decency. This also 
implies that all sexualities, even those that present as natural and 
timeless – starting with heterosexuality –, are actually the product of 
cultural processes, in which the media play a key role.

We welcome paper proposals in English or French, from any social science 
or humanities discipline, that address both media and sexuality from a 
critical perspective. Proposals should be no more than 500 words and 
make clear their theoretical and methodological background. Proposals 
can be sent to (mediasexlille2020 /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(mediasexlille2020 /at/ gmail.com)> until January 6st, 2020. They will 
undergo peer-review by an international academic advisory board

The project coordinators: Béatrice Damian-Gaillard, Florian Vörös,
and the organising committee: Juliette Dalbavie, Marion Dalibert, Steve 
Hill, Coralie Le Caroff, Béatrice Micheau, Sandy Montañola, Eugénie Saitta
