Misogyny, Media and the Clash of Cultures: CALL FOR CHAPTERS

Hi all,

Forwarding on behalf of Maria Marron (University of Nebraska-Lincoln).

*Misogyny, Media and the Clash of Cultures: CALL FOR CHAPTERS*


Misogyny and power inequities are at the root of sexual assault, harassment
and bullying. Media stories have proliferated and have been amplified by
social media in the United States in the case of the Ford-Kavanaugh
allegations and the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, the sexual
harassment allegations against incumbent President Donald J. Trump, and by
the #MeToo movement. Other countries, too, have had stories rooted in
misogyny and power inequities.


This proposed book aims to devote chapters to explore issues such as the
following:



1. Mediated Misogyny and the Clash of Cultures (Androcentrism/Gynocentrism;
The creation of meaning and epistemic ways of looking at the world;
Conservative, liberal; US/Western-Eastern)



2. Misogyny in the Media Industries



3. Misogyny’s Roots in Religion



4. Issues of Feminism (a new wave); Toxic Masculinity, the INCEL Movement?



5. Demographics and Misogyny: Boomers, Millennials, Gen. Z



6. Misogyny in relation to race, ethnicity, other (e.g., trans, gays)?



7. Mediated Misogyny in the Age of Trump and the Rise of Nationalism
worldwide



8. Misogyny and Activism: The #MeToo Movement



9. Conclusions



Contributors should examine misogyny and power inequities from the
perspective of critical/cultural studies; political communication;
feminism; race, gender and class; and other relevant perspectives. Papers
(chapters) should be 25 double-spaced typed pages with citations in APA
style.
