CFP: Gendering Fascism: Imaginaries, Media, Technologies

Drs. Andrea Germer and Jasmin Rückert of Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf invite contributions to an edited volume titled “Gendering Fascism” and hope for theoretically grounded empirical case studies within the time frame of the 1920s through the 1940s. Abstracts are due by September 30, 2021.

The editors hope for a wide range of analyses of the cultural and political tools applied by fascist regimes, movements, or individual promoters of fascism, from anywhere in the world. They also hope for papers that address the transcultural trajectories of fascist modernities across different regions.

In July 2021, Drs. Germer and Rückert held the first workshop on “Gendering Fascisms”, where they discussed fascisms in China, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Greece and Spain. Their second workshop will be held on November 12, 2021 (online), and they now invite papers presenting case studies from countries which were not covered in the first workshop, such as Germany, Italy, Poland and others. Contributors are invited to participate either through a paper presentation or by joining the discussions. The workshops and publications are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
