Although masculinity studies have been established as a research field for over three decades, they are gaining particular relevance today in an era marked by the dynamic re-evaluation of gender roles, the confrontation of diverse forms of masculinities, and cultural conflicts arising from these processes. Current cultural, societal, and political developments have prompted a re-examination and subversion of historical perspectives on masculinities, male roles, and representations of manhood.<\/p>\n

Despite various initiatives \u2013 particularly in the Polish context \u2013 research on masculinities in Central and Eastern Europe remains underdeveloped. Our initiative seeks to stimulate scholarly interest in the forms of masculinities in the Central European region through an interdisciplinary lens and to foster connections between ongoing research efforts. The planned conference will be the third event organized within the Central European Masculinities research project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This conference aims to explore the formation of norms and acts of transgression in Central European masculinities during the era of cultural modernity, understood as the period from the late 18th century to the 20th century (up to the onset of postmodernity).

While the primary focus is on literary studies, the event embraces an interdisciplinary approach. We encourage submissions from related arts, social sciences, and humanities fields.<\/p>\n
