> * This special issue will focus on lesbian issues and identities from a
> diversity of angles e.g. lifestyles, work experiences, sexualities,
> pleasure & desires, lesbian mothers, same-sex marriages, artistic
> performances, political marginalization, patterns of
> visibility/invisibility, heteronormativity, nomadism and cross-cultural
> communication etc.) -- and from a broad multicultural European
perspective.
> We especially invite contributions from Eastern, Southern, Northern and
> Western European countries, and from a broad range of disciplinary as
well
> as inter- and transdisciplinary approaches. We want to consider
> differences, similarities and changes in the current social, cultural and
> political status of lesbians and in discourses on lesbianism in different
> cultural and national settings. Contributions that discuss, how
generation,
> ethnicity, class, religion, different cultural backgrounds etc. interfere
> with lesbian lifestyles and subject-positions are also welcome, as well
as
> articles that address how social constructions of lesbians may intersect
> with constructions of other groups of women. An example is the highly
> discriminatory legislation that in several European countries today
> prohibits medically monitored artificial insemination and in vitro
> fertilization of both lesbians and single women.
> *
> * Besides empirical studies, special attention will, moreover, be given
to
> theoretical debates that highlight the patterns of interference between
> lesbian studies and queer theory as well as the relationships to various
> aspects of feminist studies, e.g. cyber- and cyborg-feminism. What are
the
> differences and the similarities? What are the consequences for
> de/construction of identities, desires, subject-positions, sites of
> resistance vis-á-vis heteronormativity and phallocentric definitions of
> "the lesbian" within the traditional male/female polarity? Do the new
> technocultures (e.g. the possibilities for gender-swapping on the
Internet)
> open alternative spaces or reinforce old stereotypes?
