Call for Papers – GJSS Special Edition on Sexuality in Focus

The Graduate Journal of Social Sciences (GJSS) invites papers for its 
December 2012 special edition on Sexuality in Focus. This issue is 
inspired by the Network of Interdisciplinary Women’s Studies in Europe 
(NOISE) 2011 Summer School, which was hosted by the University of 
Utrecht (the Netherlands). This year’s theme was ‘The Miraculous 
(dis)appearing Act of Sexuality: Mapping the Study of Sexuality in 
Europe, 1960-2010’. Central to this summer school was the exploration of 
what has appeared in discourses of sexualities and what has been 
missing. The special issue aims to further explore this complex and 
multifaceted subject.

We invite scholarly contributions from postgraduate students, early 
career academics and activists engaged in LGBT, sexuality, feminist, 
queer, women’s and gender studies or related areas, to submit their work 
for consideration. Although NOISE summer school participants are 
strongly encouraged to submit their papers, we also welcome 
contributions from people outside of the NOISE network. Thus, we welcome 
contributions that offer important insights into debates surrounding 
sexuality. These include, but are not limited to, the following themes:

- Sexualities in the making: discussions of the epistemological, 
methodological, and thematic issues central to the interdisciplinary and 
intersectional study of sexuality in Europe and beyond; (historical) 
analyses of heterosexual, gay, lesbian, asexual, bisexual, queer and 
transsexual discourses or movements.
- Deconstructing sexualities: papers exploring the notion of (sexual) 
identity; the engagement with biological essentialism / determinism, 
social constructivism and newer insights in this debate.
- Sexual politics: sexuality and (post)colonialism; sexuality and the 
formation of the nation state; multiculturalism and homonationalism; 
sexuality and family politics; state censorship. In this strand we also 
invite papers which seek to bridge the gap between academic feminisms 
and feminist activisms.
- Reflexivity and intersectionality: how can we adopt a more 
intersectional approach to our work on sexuality? We invite papers 
exploring the ontological and epistemological relationship between the 
researcher and the subject of study in the field of sexuality. This 
strand also explicitly invites papers which explore the intersections of 
race, class, nationality, religion and other social categories, with 
gender and sexuality.
- Stigma and marginalization: we invite papers focusing on sexual 
practices or bodily aesthetics from an affirmative perspective. Papers 
might address BDSM; pornography; physical disabilities and sexuality; 
fatness and sexuality; or the sexual practices of other stigmatized groups.

A sixth strand is aimed at extending the debate on sexualities beyond 
the European / Western context. A selection of papers presented at the 
Arab Women, Media and Sexuality conference (University of York, May 
2012) shall be included in a special section of this edition. Papers 
exploring the following themes are welcomed: representations of Arab 
women’s sexuality in Western and / or Arabic media; approaches to 
sexuality in Arabic media; Arab women’s perception of their sexuality 
vis-à-vis the media. The deadline for this section will be separate from 
the general deadline and will be announced. For more information, please 
contact Ebtihal Mahadeen: [log in to unmask]

Submissions: Completed papers should be submitted by January 30th 2012. 
Papers should be 6000-8000 words. Please include an abstract (max 300 
words), short author biography (max 150 words) along with three to five 
keywords.

Papers submitted to the GJSS undergo an initial selection by the guest 
editors and then go through a double-blind peer review process. The 
special issue will be published in December 2012.

Submissions must be accompanied by the GJSS article submission form. 
Detailed submission guidelines and formatting instructions can be found 
on the GJSS website:
