11-13 September 2014, Izmir Turkey



Call for Papers



Initiative for Critical Studies of Masculinities (ICSM) cordially invites
proposals for the first international conference on men and masculinities
to take place in Turkey, in collaboration with Ankara University Women's
Studies Centre (KASAUM), Izmir University Women's Studies Centre and Center
For The Study of Men and Masculinities at Stony Brook University. The
conference aims to discuss theories, narratives, experiences, discourses,
and activisms related to transformations of and challenges to men and
masculinities with a particular focus on the Global Southern and Eastern
European contexts.



Various phenomena such as globalisation and reconfigurations of nation
states/nationalisms; identity politics; new social movements and political
activism; rise in digital technology and the new social media; and the
influence of postmodern and queer theory have changed and challenged men's
lives and masculinities in distinct ways. Yet there is little consensus on
how to characterise transformations caused by such phenomena. We are
seeking to explore issues related to such transformations with their
political, economic, social and cultural implications for men and
masculinities. We are also interested in addressing issues concerning
methodologies, scope and conceptual boundaries of the critical studies of
men and masculinities that need rethinking in light of these changes and
developments. In order to contribute to these debates, researchers from
social sciences and humanities are invited to send proposals to discuss
topics including, but not limited to:



·         Revolutionary movements, political activism, ethnic/religious
conflicts

·         Nationalism, military and militarisation

·         Lived experiences and/or representations of the body, disability

·         Sexualities, desire, pornography

·         Intimacy, affective turn, emotions

·         Subjectivities and experiences

·         Queering men and masculinities, sexual identities

·         Legacy of masculinity studies, future agenda, feminisms



Confirmed keynote speakers include Michael Kimmel, Jeff Hearn, Elijah C.
Nealy and Serpil Sancar.



We invite proposals for individual presentations, panels, poster, film, and
photography presentations. In addition to the formal presentations, the
conference will also provide a forum setting for graduate students to
discuss their work-in-progress. Following the conference, a selection of
papers will be published in a special issue of the *Masculinities: A
Journal of Identity and Culture*.



Abstracts of up to 300 words for individual papers and 600 words for panel
proposals as well as a 100-word biographical note should be sent to
icsmsymposium[et]gmail.com  by 30 March 2014. Graduate students who wish to
take part in the forum discussions should send a 300-word description of
their research and a 100-word biographical note. Notification of acceptance
will be made by 02 May 2014. The registration fee for the conference is 70
EURO and 40 EURO for graduate students. Five conference fee waivers will be
granted for graduate students based on need and merit.
