Sexuality*

This is the inaugural panel of the Network for the Anthropology of Gender
and Sexuality. We wish to explore the breadth of the ethnographic research
that is being done on this topic and to situate current analyses within the
history of anthropological scholarship on gender and sexuality.
Many developments within Europe and the wider world make it necessary to
bring together scholarship on gender and sexuality to facilitate
intellectual exchange and comparative work. These developments include
long-lasting processes such as the multitude of institutionalized forms of
male domination, as well as daily practices of hegemonic masculinity and
the use of stereotyped concepts of masculinity, femininity and
heteronormativity to legitimize sexist and homophobic practices.
There are also more recent phenomena such as the perceived threat to
liberal values concerning gender and sexuality from migrant groups in
Europe, the broad discussions on gay marriage in many countries, but also
the ways in which feminist agendas are (ab)used to legitimize neo-colonial
and military interventions, and the rise of 'sexual nationalism' in Africa
and Europe.
We therefore invite ethnographically grounded papers that develop the
anthropology of gender and sexuality as it has evolved over the past
decades or explore new ways of addressing gender and sexuality. We
particularly welcome papers that situate themselves explicitly within the
history of the anthropological study of gender and sexuality. We look
forward to a stimulating first session that will be the foundation for many
more sessions to come, to develop and expand an international sharing of
research on gender and sexuality.
To submit a paper you have to visit the conference website and follow the
system's guidelines for paper
proposals<http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2014/panels.php5?PanelID=3062>
Please note that you do not need to be an EASA member to submit a paper.
