Culture, Society and Masculinities (CS&M) is a new peer reviewed journal to be launched Spring 2009.
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.
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.
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
• ethnic, cross-cultural and trans-cultural studies
• 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.
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.
