Real and imagined spaces are inherently gendered based on widely accepted
heteronormative and patriarchal ways of living, thereby affecting how
buildings and cities are accessed, used, and experienced. Moreover, spatial
practices associated with such heteronormative and gender binary systems
impact design ideas that shape the built environment. The imposition of
traditional gender roles in architecture from patriarchal and
heteronormative views affect urban policy making, architectural education,
and decision making in the building and transformation of cities. Even the
word ‘architect’ was and still is often gendered both in historical and
contemporary perceptions of the society due to the male-dominated
professional field despite the involvement and contributions of women in
the transformation of the built environment for centuries. Hence, space and
gender are intrinsically linked and mutually construct one another. Against
these complex yet urgent ongoing questions, this special issue of the
International
Journal of Islamic Architecture aims to interrogate the relation between
gender and architecture focusing on feminist, queer, non-binary, and trans
perspectives with an interdisciplinary approach from the past and present.
However, in order to have a nuanced understanding of diverse dynamics
shaping spaces and spatial practices, contributions will need to have an
intersectional approach encompassing race, sexuality, age, disability,
class, religion, and ethnicity. Moreover, studies must derive from specific
social, cultural, and political contexts and localities to prevent
essentialist approaches to Islamic and diasporic communities. This special
issue raises questions around three themes: restrictions, reactions, and
actions.
Editors welcome articles dealing with issues related to gender and
architecture from an intersectional and interdisciplinary perspective,
encompassing a wide variety of areas including, but not limited to, legal
history, law, critical race theory, labour history, environmental history,
history of emotions, and history of science.
Articles offering historical and theoretical analysis (Design in Theory;
DiT) should be between 6000 and 8000 words. Those on design and practice
(Design in Practice; DiP) should be between 3000 and 4000 words.
Practitioners, urbanists, art historians, specialists in literary,
religious, and gender studies, curators, archivists, librarians,
archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, sociologists, and historians
whose work resonates with the topic of this special issue are welcome to
contribute discussions that address the critical themes of the journal.
Collaboratively authored articles are also welcome.
Please send a title and a 400-word abstract to the guest editor, Gül Kale,
Carleton University ([log in to unmask]), by June 15, 2024. Authors of
proposals will be contacted by July 30, 2024, and may be requested to
submit full article drafts for consideration by January 30, 2025. All
