<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;
mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">This special issue is intended to provide a sustained
examination of feminist perspectives on <u>food as a site for the performance
and regulation of masculinities</u>. Existing feminist scholarship on food and
eating has tended to focus on women’s experiences food preparation and
consumption. While this has been an appropriate corrective to the historical
marginalisation of women’s lives and experiences, much of this work tends to
focus on food and eating as primarily <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">feminine</i>
experience. The ways in which food operates as a site of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">masculine</i> gender construction for both men and women has been
largely neglected in the scholarship. More work is urgently needed that
considers food and masculinities from <u>global and international perspectives</u>
and which addresses the vectors of nationality, ethnicity, migration, class,
age and sexuality. Contributions to this special issue will extend existing
feminist work on gender, food and eating by examining masculinities as
important sites through which meaning and power with respect to food are
mobilised (and sometimes contested).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;
mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">We are especially interested in papers that explore
relationships between food and masculinities beyond hegemonic masculinity. We
intend to unsettle and ‘queer’ the notion that masculinity is associated with biological
‘men’ as much as possible, and so we are interested in contributions that will
engage with transgender masculinities and female masculinities and how they
operate in connection with food, eating and embodiment. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;
mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">We hope that the articles in this special issue will
raise questions on several levels: <u>conceptual</u> (how do concepts of
masculinity help to us understand and define contemporary gendered
relationships to food?), <u>cultural</u> (what discourses of masculinity are
attached to food, and how do men and women negotiate these cross-culturally in
their daily lives?), <u>political</u> (how can feminist perspectives on food
and masculinities assist us to understand, and contest, relationships between
food, eating, gender and social power?), and <u>practical</u> (how does
masculinity help us to address the gendered nature of food access and inequity
around the world?)</span></div>
