CFP - Masculinities: A Journal of Identity and Culture

From: murat goc <[email protected]>

It’s been almost 20 years now since R.W. Connell published her 
groundbreaking and inspiring work, Masculinities, and masculinity 
studies has become a major field of study, a conceptual domain ready to 
come out of the closet, and a central critical point of reference in 
gender, identity, power and trans-anything discussions. The debate over 
the public visibility and hierarchy of gendered identities has 
manifested itself as a complicated conflict area more strongly than 
ever. It has often been reassured that it is of utmost importance to 
define and redefine the scope of masculinity studies, to establish its 
basic methodology, and maintain a balance between the ambiguity of 
interdisciplinary studies and objectivity of a scientific field.

We have been working on a peer reviewed online journal that will be 
published biannually in English and that will serve to provide an 
independent forum for issues of gender, identity and culture, with a 
particular emphasis on masculinity studies.  Masculinities hosts a group of scholars from various disciplines in its editorial board mostly 
based in Turkey as well as distinguished experts from different parts of the world and it offers a joint ground for the interdisciplinary and 
pioneering research in the field of gender and masculinity so as to 
enable researchers to share their work, discuss prospective projects, 
learn from each other, and inspire young scholars. Masculinities also 
reflects a particular interest in (but not necessarily confined to) 
“non-Western” constructions and representations of masculinity and seeks to explore the terra incognita of manhood in different cultures, 
different geographies, and different worlds.

We invite scholarly and critical contributions, including articles, 
book and film reviews, reviews of the published articles as well as 
announcements of forthcoming events, conference reports, and information on other matters of interest to gender studies and/or masculinity 
studies for the inaugural issue to be published in June 2013. The 
contributions to the journal should be sent to the email address given 
below as of May 1, 2013 and they may be related (but not limited) to the topics listed below. You can visit our website for the submission 
guidelines and further details and you can join our email group that 
provides updates and recent news as well as announcements and call for 
papers for the symposiums and journals on masculinity and gender 
studies.
