In light of the recent dramatic growth of masculinity studies across all
disciplines, I am soliciting articles for a book collection devoted to
masculinities in Middle Eastern and North African Literature and Film.

Possible topics include: cultural representations of manhood and the male
body; sexual practices and sexual identities; virility or infertility;
race, ethnicity, class--and masculinities; fatherhood and male identity;
male-female relationships; relationships between patriarchy and dominant
masculinities; relationships between concepts of masculinity and
nationalism; colonialism, westernization, and local responses to
"modernity"; fatherhood and its essence in the cinematic city; women and
the masculine gaze of the city; the city as an "ordering gaze"; cityscape
and the distribution of sexuality, sex and the cinematic city; and the
calibration of the cinematic gaze of the postcolonial city.

If you are interested, please email me <louzgane_at_ualberta.ca> an abstract
(about 200 words) and a CV by April 1, 2005. Queries welcome.

Essays should be between 6000 and 8000 words and are due August 1,
2005. E-mail submissions are welcome.
