"New Publication: Visual Representations of Femininities and Masculinities"

While we were forced to cancel our workshop of the same name due to the global spread of Covid-19 in March, a special issue of the journal "Contemporary Southeastern Europe" (7/2), edited by Karl Kaser and Dominik Gutmeyr, now gives an introduction to "Visual Representations of Femininities and Masculinities: The Balkans and South Caucasus in the digital age". The five contributions by Karl Kaser, Eirini Tsichla, Elza Ibroscheva, Hasan Gürkan and Zumrud Jalilova Hutton explore the increasing polarization of the visual representation of gender roles, of femininities and of masculinities in the region. The editors hope to raise attention to an interdisciplinary field that has not yet received sufficient scholarly recognition.
