insights also intend to investigate the multiple possibilities of the intersections between gender, sexualities, vulnerabilities and power, which often lie at the core of post-conflict processes of dealing with the past. Queer perspectives also aim to envision and to sharpen our imagination for possible alternatives to dominant – often institutionalized, (neo-)liberal and hetero-patriarchal – TJ toolkit approaches.
We therefore seek to critically explore and position these masculinities and queer perspectives within feminist inquiries regarding the roles of gender in social, cultural and political structuring more widely. Rather than only making men and sexual minorities visible in transitional settings, we instead seek to explore structural issues regarding the persisting exclusion and potential inclusion of masculinities and queer analyses. As per this approach, our intention for this edited volume is underpinned by and geared towards a relational understanding of gender. Topics to be explored and questions to be raised and answered include, but may not be limited to:
- How can masculinities and queer perspectives enhance and complexify our understandings of the intersections between gender, armed conflict and post-conflict transitions?
- What are the lived realities of men and of sexual and gender minorities in post-conflict and transitional spaces, and how can (or cannot) diverse transitional justice mechanisms engage with and respond to these experiences?
- How do identities defined by inter alia gender, sexualities, class and ethnicity intersect, and how do these intersections shape individuals’ post-war experiences?
- What are potential challenges associated with bringing more attention towards men’s gendered experiences in transitional settings?
We welcome chapter submissions which seek to address and uncover these and multiple associated questions in a variety of different post-conflict and transitional case study contexts, as well as from diverse disciplinary, theoretical and methodological backgrounds. In the edited volume, we thus aim to combine contributions that address diverse geo-political regions, from across different historical episodes and that touch upon different conflict dynamics, to illustrate the diversity of transitional and post-conflict contexts where masculinities and/or queer perspectives offer new insights into understanding, disrupting and/or complexifying these processes.
We intend to submit the edited volume to the Series on Transitional Justice published by Intersentia; we are in touch with the editors of the book series, who have indicated their interest and commitment in working with us on such an edited volume. We also intend to organize a one-day workshop for contributors to the edited volume, tentatively scheduled for March 2020, either in Antwerp, Belgium or alternatively in Bremen, Germany. At the workshop, authors will present and receive detailed feedback on their draft Chapters, before preparing the manuscripts for final submission to the editors/publisher. The workshop thereby aims to ensure internal coherence between the Chapters included in the book.
If you are interested in contributing a Chapter for this edited volume, please send a brief abstract (of 200-250 words), accompanied by a short bio (100 words) to Philipp Schulz, Institute for Intercultural and International Studies (InIIS), University of Bremen: pschulz@uni-bremen.de, by 15 September 2019.
The tentative timeline looks as follows:
15 September 2019: CfP deadline for chapter abstracts
1 October 2019: Notification of selected chapters
1 March 2020: Deadline for first draft chapters (to be presented at one-day workshop)
March 2020: One-day book workshop
June 2020: Final chapters to be submitted to edited volume editors
August 2020: Final manuscript to be submitted to the book series editors / publishers
