Call for Papers: Femininities and the making of Masculinities Journal of Femininities
Editors: Rhea Ashley Hoskin & Jonathan Allan
Abstracts due April 20
This special issue seeks to bring Femininities decisively into conversation with Critical Studies of Men and Masculinities. We aim to build scholarship that examines men, masculinities, and femininity across social, cultural, political, historical, and institutional contexts, foregrounding femininity as a structuring force rather than a marginal concern.
We invite contributions that interrogate how femininity operates in, through, against, and upon boys, young men, men, older men and ideas of masculinities. What has been overlooked in Critical Studies of Men and Masculinities by failing to incorporate femininity fully as an object of analysis? How does attention to femininity disrupt dominant theories of masculinity, power, and gender hierarchy? What new insights emerge when femininity is treated not merely as what masculinity is not, but as something actively produced, regulated, desired, punished, repudiated, and contested among men?
