Our special edition of Angelaki builds on the suggestion ‘the concept is not object but territory’ through positing material-cultural geographies of masculinity as the sites in which thought is created. Such forms of thought are, we argue, necessarily gendered and the products of gendered cultures. We are specifically interested in ways in which lived cultures of masculinity might be read as offering means for understanding men and masculinities articulated across political formations, aesthetic practices and institutionalized systems of thought. Three specific disciplinary axes of analysis are suggested through which to explore these trajectories: performance studies, continental philosophy (especially Deleuze and Guattari’s work), and critical race theory. As editors, we are interested in contributions that consider cultural formations ranging from local performance spaces and working environments to global demarcations of masculinised territories, such as the nation-State or the “Western” hemisphere. We are interested in the ways in which different social boundaries and cultural economies are made and remade through articulations of masculinity and the extent to which such re-mappings can (or can not) be read as constitutive of thought.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large; "><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; ">An imperative driving this project is an interest in how cultural geography and masculinity studies might offer conceptual resources for scholars working in continental philosophy. Specifically, we are interested in how the examination of political and aesthetic terrains involved in the formation of masculinities, hegemonic or otherwise, might be mapped onto the field of continental philosophy. As such, the editors encourage a</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; "> <span lang="EN-US">focus on the political implications and/or methodological consequences of poststructuralist approaches to masculinities, especially perspectives on the possible limitations of continental philosophical thinkers within more applied disciplines or fields of inquiry. To this end, articles utilizing models of thought generated within masculinity studies to reconsider or critique Deleuze and Guattari’s thought, and/or the work of other continental philosophers, are welcomed. We also invite contributions that draw on continental philosophy to interrogate literature from the field of masculinity studies.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; ">Contributors are invited to explore specific geographies of masculinities as thought-machines.<span> </span>As suggested above, there are three areas in which we would like to locate contributions:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Symbol; ">·<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; "><i>Cultures of performance, music, dance and visual arts</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; ">, including (ethico)aesthetic approaches to masculinities within artworks or performances, but also extending to the gendered dynamics of artistic production, consumption and/or reception.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: large; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Symbol; ">·<span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman'; "> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; "><i>Cultures of scholarship</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Verdana; ">, including the institutional politics of masculinity studies, the impact of masculinities on research practices and publishing, and the take-up of psychoanalysis and post-structuralism within gender studies.
