GENDER RESISTANCE
Guest Editors: Evgenia Sifaki & Angeliki Spiropoulou.
This issue seeks to interrogate the new experiences and conceptualisations of gender and sexualities that have been part of these transformations. Specifically, notwithstanding the assimilation of traditional feminist demands in official cultural discourses, what new forms of resistance to conventional gender discourses, categories and practices, and inversely, what novel manifestations of resilient gender asymmetries have emerged in this allegedly ‘post-feminist’ era?
We invite contributions that address the modes in which contemporary Anglophone literary, visual and popular culture refract and respond to the question of gender and sexualities today. Suggested themes:
• novel gender formations and experiences in contemporary Anglophone literature and culture
• gender and genre
• the response of contemporary women writers to the gender conditions of the 21st century
• gender and racial, ethnic and religious minorities, transnational communities and diasporas
• new ways of performing gender
• gender, sexualities and the law
• reproduction and new reproductive technologies
• reconfigurations of gendered private and public spaces
• developments in theories of gender and sexuality
Detailed proposals (1,000-1,500 words) for articles of c. 5-6,000 words and a short bio should be sent to the editords by 31 October 2010.
