Call for Papers: Gender, sexuality and resistance in the arts: perspectives from the global South

We are increasingly following the development of initiatives and research interested in understanding and making visible the existing diversity in the field of gender and sexuality based on readings from the global South. Among them are those interested in artistic expressions - such as visual arts, cinema and audiovisual, theater, dance, music, graffiti, among others -, which bring many readings and possibilities of existence and resistance to the theme and that present both artists and researchers from this region. The main objective of this dossier is to bring together works interested in reflecting on the relationship between arts, gender and sexuality using perspectives built in the global South and focusing on practices of resistance. Our aim is to expand the dialogues with researches – both nationally and internationally – that have looked at different artistic manifestations that discuss gender and sexuality, also pointing to the specificities of the intersection with other social markers of difference such as race, class, generation and territory. This special issue expects contributions that apply theories and methods from Sociology, Antropology and Political Science in dialogue with arts studies giving emphasis to counter-hegemonic experiences and theories, with special attention to decolonial readings.
