1. le rapport au corps qui renvoie bien sûr à la médicalisation  des femmes aînées (ménopause,
   antidépresseurs, etc.), mais aussi aux enjeux personnels et sociaux du rapport au corps vieillissant
   (soins esthétiques, prise en charge médicale, sexualité, etc.) ;
2. le rapport à la société et aux institutions, visant à interroger le statut social des aînées
   (représentations sociales, stéréotypes, etc.), de même que leurs conditions de vie et de soins
   (milieux d’hébergement, pauvreté, etc.) ou encore leur implication sociale (bénévolat,
   engagement sociaux ou de proximité), etc. ;
3. les rapports intergénérationnels, notamment le rôle des aînées dans la transmission de la
   mémoire collective, à l’échelle de la famille mais aussi de l’espace public (la question de la relève
   dans les groupes de femmes par exemple).

• Expanding concepts of relationships and understandings of sexuality, noting how perceptions become narrow (e.g., through problematic normativity, self-scrutiny, consumerism, etc) and exploring how such expansions might enable more connectedness.
• How might/does a queer emphasis on playfulness help take the edge off of eco-earnestness? What might playful queer practices and theories contribute to ecopsychological methods of conversation and transformation? How might ecological discussions and other actions be seriously playful and playfully serious?
• 'Think of the children!': heteronormativity, the (re)production of capitalism and ecological discourse. How might a queerly ecopsychological approach reconsider family, care and (population) growth?
• The unsustainability of (hetero or homo) normativity. How much energy does it take to conform? How might queer deconstructions make discussions and practices of ecological alternatives easier?
• Getting dirty. How might queer contribute to explorations of fear and shame, embodiment and desire in sexuality and ecology?
• Queering taxonomy: species, sexualities, psychologies, genders, races and other categories of control. How 'natural' are the binaries of gender and sexuality we've been taught to believe in? How do taxonomies of psychopathology relate to other taxonomies of humans and of the more than human world?
• Ecofeminism and queer theory. The former has been dismissed as essentialist with the latter deconstructing discourses of 'the natural'. Is there room for a reunion between the two? What might grow at this edge?
• Care of the self, care of the earth. What would happen if Joanna Macy and the late Foucault met to talk tactics? What do indigenous queer perspectives have to offer to vital questions of loving ourselves and the earth?

• Ecoqueer social movements. In what ways are queer activists expanding and exploring ecological justice? How might a queer focus on the potential fluidity of emotions and desires, genders and sexualities transform Transition Towns, Climate Camps, NGOs and other ecological movements?

Loin d’atteindre la mixité hommes-femmes officiellement affichée, diverses recherches contemporaines soulignent la permanence des attributions sexuées dans de nombreux domaines sociaux. Si les domaines « féminins » accueillent très majoritairement des femmes et sont plutôt associés à l’écoute, à l’expression d’émotions ou à la grâce, les domaines « masculins » accueillent également très majoritairement des hommes et se réfèrent plutôt à l’affirmation de soi, à la technique ou à la force.
 
Une riche littérature s’est développée permettant de bien identifier les mécanismes qui limitent l’entrée, le maintien et la progression des femmes, jeunes et moins jeunes, dans les domaines professionnels « masculins ». En revanche, la littérature semble moins prolixe et beaucoup plus éparse sur la question de la faible présence des hommes (et des jeunes garçons) dans les domaines professionnels « féminins ». Certains (rares) travaux suggèrent des hommes plutôt favorisés dans leurs trajectoires et dans l’interaction (comparativement aux femmes) lorsqu’ils évoluent dans ces domaines. D’autres recherches (parfois les mêmes) évoquent aussi la stigmatisation associée à l’exercice d’un métier dit de femme. De plus, ces rares travaux expliquent encore de manière souvent partielle aussi bien les différences de trajectoires des hommes et des femmes que les raisons sociales pour lesquelles ces domaines « féminins » ne sont guère investis par les hommes ou les jeunes garçons. A quel moment de la pratique se joue cet accès à un domaine « féminin » (ou son non accès) ? Quels sont les paramètres et les termes de la transaction sociale, de la transaction biographique et de la transaction relationnelle qui permettent ou dissuadent ce type de transgression ? Selon quels mécanismes sociaux ? Selon quels principes de justification, pour soi et pour autrui ? Etc.
 
Le numéro proposé a pour ambition, d’une part, de mieux comprendre (voire d’expliquer) les conditions et processus sociaux en jeu qui font que les hommes et les garçons, jeunes et moins jeunes, soit « rejettent », « fuient », sont « éloignés », de manière consciente ou non, des domaines « féminins » dans la vie professionnelle ; soit, malgré cela, transgressent l’assignation de genre. Il vise, d’autre part, à cerner les différences (ou les similarités) d’insertion et de trajectoires dans un domaine professionnel « féminin » entre femmes et hommes, et là également, à repérer et à interpréter les processus sociaux de construction et de légitimation dans le temps et dans l’espace de cette présence masculine au travail.
 
Il est attendu que les articles s’appuient sur des résultats de recherches empiriques et aient une analyse interprétative ambitieuse de ces résultats empiriques.

• How are “states of emergency” produced, claimed and deployed?  What are the institutional (e.g., government, media, religion) and/or informal (e.g., local networks) mechanisms that create /construct or facilitate a “state of emergency”?
• How and why are certain events framed as “natural disasters”?  Why are certain experiences with environmental disasters represented as “natural” and what division between “nature” and “human” is required?  How do the global and transnational operate within these constructs of “natural” and in locating disaster?
• What does it mean to approach disaster relief from an intersectional perspective?  What lessons have we learned frompost-disaster relief efforts in the United States, such as after Hurricane Katrina and 9/11?  How do such efforts operate at an international level, as with the UN in the post-Rwandan genocide projects?

• Rethinking sexual citizenship: who is envisioned as worthy of inclusion, and what are thecosts?
• Theoretical and analytical challenges to account for the relations between sexuality, violence and the constitution of "community", "neighborhood", or "nation" through a specific focus on processes of inclusion.
• Queer necropolitics and the "wars without end" (Mbembe 2003:23): regimes of policing, border control, colonial conflict or the "war on terror"; militarised  intimacies, the militarisation of urban spaces and queer and trans communities in the name of safety and security.
• LGBT identitarian claims to sovereignty, rights and protection, acquisitive forms of sociality and assimilationist logics, and their intersection with ongoing histories of settler colonialism, genocide and slavery.
• Analyses of the articulation of "community" and "belonging" through "immunitarian dialectics" (Esposito 2008) that strengthen sovereign power to immunise the community against the prospect of conflict; discussions of the implications of these processes and the instantiation of collectivities through "immunitarian apparatuses" which allow a range of gendered, racialised and sexualised Others to exist in segregated proximity, as "the outside of the inside" (Esposito 2008:8), through processes of introjections of negativity geared towards the preservation of life.
• Queer necropolitics and international relations: the inclusion of homosexuals in state militaries, the heteronormativity of the international relations of weapon production, the deployment and tying of "queer" development aid, and other forms gay imperialism.
• Queer necropolitics, migration and citizenship: the problematic of conditioning asylum and citizenship testing on exceptionalist regimes of gender and sexuality.
• Queer necropolitics and the turn to race/religion, intersectionality and the Global South in Northern LGBT theorizing and organizing.
• Queer necropolitics and the prison, medical and non-profit industrial sectors: prison abolitionist critiques of the hate crime model, anti-psychiatry critiques of the biomedicalization of homo/transphobia, bio/necropolitical accounts of subaltern queer and (especially) trans death as a form of value extraction; the biopolitics, necropolitics and geopolitics of global gay, LGBT and trans movements.
• Queer necropolitics and violence, including war, Occupation, policing, borders, gentrification and the prison and medical industrial complexes; the relationship between queer liberalism, violence and backlash; queer, feminist and transgender anti-violence organizing by indigenous people, people of colour, migrants and people in the Global South.

We invite contributions looking at the relations between contemporary queer politics, indigeneity, antiblackness, Islamophobia, increasingly militarised and nationalist forms of sexual citizenship, immunised and segregating forms of sociality and intimacy, and deadly forms of inclusion into legal, political and sexual subjecthood. We are particularly interested in contributions with a wide geopolitical representation, dealing with global regions such as Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe within a transnational framework, and welcome submissions from junior scholars. We also especially welcome submissions from writers who are queer/trans of colour, indigenous, migrant or from the Global South.
