[Air-L] CFP: Media representations and narratives of masculinities across Europe

[Inês Amaral]

*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) and
to the editors (ines.amaral at uc.pt and 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.
