Abstract
ABSTRACT This article offers a reply – and an alternative perspective – to Andria Christofidou’s recent contribution to this journal, which critically engages with debates on men, masculinities and social change. We first suggest that understanding change requires us to go beyond pitting theoretical frameworks against one another, and we highlight work that has done this. Second, as our main point, we argue that when bringing in intersectionality as a theory or concept, CSMM scholars must maintain the spirit of the foundational thinking of the idea, such that inequalities are uncovered, highlighted and challenged. We also stress that marginalised men, in the Global South but also the Global North, must be included in the story of social change. While our response is stimulated by Christofidou’s article, our contention applies to a wide range of thinking in CSMM.
期刊介绍：
NORMA is an international journal for high quality research concerning masculinity in its many forms. This is an interdisciplinary journal concerning questions about the body, about social and textual practices, and about men and masculinities in social structures. We aim to advance theory and methods in this field. We hope to present new themes for critical studies of men and masculinities, and develop new approaches to ''intersections'' with race, sexuality, class and coloniality. We are eager to have conversations about the role of men and boys, and the place of masculinities, in achieving gender equality and social equality. The journal was begun in the Nordic region; we now strongly invite scholarly work from all parts of the world, as well as research about transnational relations and spaces. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via Editorial Manager.
