<span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">This special issue of <i>Somatechnics</i> invites contributions concerning
<i>medicalized masculinities</i>. We are especially interested in articles with a focus on middle age masculinity and mediatized aspects of masculinities in general including – but not limited to – queer and transgender masculinities and/or racialized masculinities.
We consider masculinity as a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon emerging within cultural, material and discursive frames and contexts and medicalization as technologies of body, gender (and disciplinary power): ways of doing masculinity. The ambition is to
grasp and discuss embodied understandings of masculinity connected to both new treatments options and cultural settings as well as men’s changing imaginations about the happy life.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">While women and minoritized men long have been the object of scientific research, the focused studying of (white, cis-gendered, heterosexual) men and masculinities is a relatively new phenomenon. Also,
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">the mid-age male body, that has until recently escaped regulatory intervention, is increasingly being subjected to health and beauty related treatments, interventions and modifications (e.g. rejuvenating products
and treatments, medicine, performance enhancing substances, fitness). Thus today, in a Western context, cosmetic surgery has become an acceptable and mainstream tool used to ‘fix’ signs of aging or ‘overweight’ and thereby to achieve a body within the range
of what is considered normal and desirable. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">We encourage contributions addressing these and related subjects framed within and beyond the conceptual framework of somatechnics. With this special issue we aim to challenge and expand health and social science categorizations
and assessments (e.g. body vs. technology, healthy vs. ill, necessary vs. unnecessary as well as artificial vs. natural, body vs. culture) through empirical investigations and critical cultural analysis. This includes post humanist theories and conceptualizations
of the prosthetic, analytical takes on becomings and assemblages, wherein medical interventions in the body are not per se viewed as undesirable, artificial or only physically necessary. Rather, interventions could be understood as continuous hybridization
processes, which resolves and exceeds common dichotomist beliefs about the body.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
