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@fss.muni.cz) and to the editors (ines.amaral@uc.pt and sjs@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.
