--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Over the last few decades, we have witnessed a shift in attitudes towards gender 
identities. Spanish law in favour of gay marriage seems to be an epoch-making 
event, but the history of roles and stereotypes is drawn and redrawn in a spiral 
process. From the mediaeval Galician-Portuguese satires to Mário de Sá-Carneiro, 
from Lúcia Facco's work to Cernuda, from Tirant lo Blanc to Terenci Moix, from 
the linguistic strategies to name the otherness to the oxymoron between theory 
and praxis in the Sección Feminina; the peninsular cultures have been sharing an 
imagery as well as setting different ways of writing straight and writing queer.

We all have, indeed, come along way, have we? But how do these identities fit 
into contemporary structures of power? How do they make themselves mainstream? 
And do they lose anything in the process?

The XII edition of the Forum for Iberian Studies invites scholars to assess the 
changes of gender identities within the context of Portuguese and Hispanic 
Studies. We welcome contributions from areas such as gender studies, queer 
theory, literary and cultural studies, media studies, anthropology, history, 
(socio)linguistics, amongst others.

Papers can be submitted in English or any of the romance languages of the 
Iberian peninsula. Proposals for 20-minute papers should include a title and an 
abstract of about 300 words. Please mention any technical requirements and 
include your name, affiliation and contact details.
