“The concept is not object but territory. It does not have an Object but 
a territory. For that very reason it has a past form, a present form 
and, perhaps, a form to come”

(Deleuze and Guattari /What is Philosophy? /1996: 101)


Knowledges are generated by located cultural formations embedded in 
particular historical trajectories. Our themed edition of Angelaki 
builds on the suggestion ‘the concept is not object but territory’ 
through positing material-cultural geographies of masculinity as the 
sites in which thought is created. Such forms of thought are, we argue, 
necessarily gendered and the products of gendered cultures. We are 
specifically interested in ways in which lived cultures of masculinity 
might be read as offering means for understanding men and masculinities 
articulated across political formations, aesthetic practices and 
institutionalized systems of thought. Three specific disciplinary axes 
of analysis are suggested through which to explore these trajectories: 
performance studies, continental philosophy (especially Deleuze and 
Guattari’s work), and critical race theory. As editors, we are 
interested in contributions that consider cultural formations ranging 
from local performance spaces and working environments to global 
demarcations of masculinised territories, such as the nation-state or 
the “Western” hemisphere. We are interested in the ways in which 
different social boundaries and cultural economies are made and remade 
through articulations of masculinity and the extent to which such 
re-mappings can (or can not) be read as constitutive of thought.


An imperative driving this project is an interest in how cultural 
geography and masculinity studies might offer conceptual resources for 
scholars working in continental philosophy. Specifically, we are 
interested in how the examination of political and aesthetic terrains 
involved in the formation of masculinities, hegemonic or otherwise, 
might be mapped onto the field of continental philosophy. As such, the 
editors encourage a focus on the political implications and/or 
methodological consequences of poststructuralist approaches to 
masculinities, especially perspectives on the possible limitations of 
continental philosophical thinkers within more applied disciplines or 
fields of inquiry. To this end, articles utilizing models of thought 
generated within masculinity studies to reconsider or critique Deleuze 
and Guattari’s thought, and/or the work of other continental 
philosophers, are welcomed. We also invite contributions that draw on 
continental philosophy to interrogate literature from the field of 
masculinity studies.

Contributors are invited to explore specific geographies of 
masculinities as thought-machines. As suggested above, there are three 
areas in which we would like to locate contributions:

· /Cultures of performance, music, dance and visual arts/, including 
(ethico)aesthetic approaches to masculinities within artworks or 
performances, but also extending to the gendered dynamics of artistic 
production, consumption and/or reception.

· /Cultures of scholarship/, including the institutional politics of 
masculinity studies, the impact of masculinities on research practices 
and publishing, and the take-up of psychoanalysis and post-structuralism 
within gender studies. We welcome contributions that explore the gender 
dynamics of knowledge production within specific university environments 
and/or in the context of global knowledge production. This work might 
also develop Alice Jardine's response to Deleuze and Guattari in the 
context of gendered research environments.

· /Masculinity and geographies of race/, including the formation of 
masculine identities, stereotypes and spaces along racial and ethnic 
lines, or within racially "marked" diasporic communities. This could 
also include considerations of masculinities within anthropology, 
migration studies and critical race studies.


Contributors are invited to consider the constitutive relationship to 
femininity performed through the masculinities under consideration.
