<P>Subject: Call for Papers, Journal Launch: Culture, Society &
Masculinities</P>
<P>Date: September 11, 2008</P>
<P></P>
<P>Culture, Society and Masculinities (CS&M) is a new peer reviewed journal
to be launched Spring 2009.</P>
<P>The journal envisions bringing together synoptic as well as "micrographic"
ideas and views on men/boys, masculinity and genders. It will provide a forum
for emergent explorations of masculinity/ies, specifically those that situate
local (micro-ethnographic) findings and theories in broader historical,
political and/or sociological frameworks.</P>
<P>Important themes, for instance, include the overarching relevance of
South/North, East/West and local/global relations, as well as the Anglo-
American hegemony in theory building around themes of masculinity/gender. We are
especially inviting comparative views and work that rethinks, elaborates or
critiques existing ideas and concepts of locality, globalization and
regionalization in/of gender studies, both as a subject area and as a field of
academic and political performance.</P>
<P>Priority is given to reviews and critical discussions in theory development,
policy trends and/or area studies. Pertinent fields of research include but are
not limited to</P>
<P>. ethnic, cross-cultural and trans-cultural studies</P>
<P>. globalization studies, migration studies, and tourism studies . cultural,
social, historical, comparative and philosophical anthropology . cultural
psychology . culture & health studies . postcolonial studies . international
relations and conflict studies . gender policy studies . social/human geography
. international media studies; and . (art) historical studies.</P>
<P>Manuscripts, review essays and book reports are currently being solicited for
the second issue, to be published in Fall 2009. CS&M is published semi-
annually, in print and digital format, by the Men's Studies Press. The primary
language will be English.</P>
