Call for Papers: Central European Masculinities

615

We are pleased to invite you to the 2nd International Symposium on ‘Central European Masculinities’, which will be held in Katowice between 14–15 November, 2024. The inaugural meeting of our working group, which took place in Prague, identified three thematic circles to which we would like to devote the Katowice meeting.

The programme of the Katowice symposium will include:
1) Two key-speakers (Ivan Jablonka, Florence Tamagne)
2) Panels: ‘Methodologies’, ‘Traditions’, and ‘Circulations’.
Moreover, we would like to hold an additional discussion panel devoted to shaping the field of knowledge about cultural representations of masculinity in our countries as well as possibilities for further cooperation.

The cultural history of masculinity in Central European countries still remains to be told by researchers originating from it, although, of course, in dialogue with research traditions embedded in the global circulation of knowledge. We believe that our seminars will contribute to revitalizing research on masculinities in the literatures, cultures, and societies of our region.

An international symposium is organized by the University of Silesia in the frame of the Central European Masculinities research project, with the support of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR, PARCECO Program).
