No. 25 (2022): Gender studies from Latin America. Differences and sexual preferences in spaces of knowledge and knowing and Rewriting rewriting history on feminine spaces and new masculinities in masculinities in contemporary literature
Issue 25 (2022). Monograph dedicated to Gender Studies from Latin America. Differences and sexual preferences in spaces of knowledge and knowing.
Coordinated by: Amalia Ortíz de Zárate and Rodrigo Browne, Universidad Austral de Valdia, Chile.
In this issue, the following thematic axes are addressed: the vision of historical, political, cultural, social, etc. phenomena on sexuality, dissidence, identity and sexual preference from multiple perspectives (and formats), which allow us to outline the paths we are taking to give voice to these phenomena, and contribute to understanding them from an inclusive, multicultural and transdisciplinary perspective.
Monographic Rewriting history: on feminine spaces and new masculinities in contemporary literature
Editors: Maria Ayete Gil and Nuria Torres López.
Let us take the gender lens out of the drawer, let us put it on and dare to face up to the malaise by looking around us and at ourselves. Only in this way can we become aware of the questioning under which, for some time now, identities and their places in the world have been living. Masculinity is in crisis, and with it, gender binarism. The social transformations brought about by the feminist movements of recent years have opened a new window: the debate around masculinity and its values. This debate has in turn produced a double movement: on the one hand, the vindication of another possible masculinity by men who do not identify with the gender roles imposed and the places assigned by patriarchy; on the other, a reactionary tendency to these other models, characterised by the defence of the hegemonic masculine practices that originated and continue to legitimise the unequal socio-cultural and political organisation that we inhabit.
The new masculinities, in continuous revision, emerge as an alternative to the imperatives imposed by the dominant male gender model. "We are also victims of this cultural construct that functions as a model; we suffer its consequences", their banners declare. However, we also ask ourselves how these alternatives affect women. In other words, what is the relationship between these dissident masculinities and women? After all, their birth cannot be detached from the feminist movement. But does it go beyond it, and what is the place of women in the present debate?
