Call for papers - Gendering border crossings 

Online journal Re-public invites contributions for its upcoming special issue entitled "Gendering border crossings". Most of the debate on sexual migration has been fashioned by the discourse of trafficking. Largely dominated by gendered representations of feminine victims and male victimizers, this discourse has come to complement the perception of migration as a dangerous and threatening form of border crossing associated with illegality and criminality. Beyond the moralizing politics of trafficking, where humanitarianism is happily wed with policing, however, border crossings linked to the sexual industry or/and sexual relations continue to take place and have in fact flourished opening up spaces of transnational and transgender flux. From sexual tourism to transnational love affairs, from forced prostitution to migrations for employment in the sex industry, the range of gendered crossings seems to present multiple challenges to the ethnocentric and gendered bias of contemporary politics. This special issue aims to explore the dynamics and potentialities of gendering border crossings. Potential papers may include the following:
 

  • Analyzing and problematizing forms of exclusion and inclusion produced through border crossings
  • Exploring representations of sexual desire and identity in border crossings.
  • Identifying challenges to gendered and ethnocentric notions of the political
  • Critically assessing gendered and racist biases that often underpin anti-trafficking policies and the protection of the victims of trafficking.
  • Conceptualizing the political character of sexual border crossings beyond the trafficking discourse
  • Exploring alternative practices and migrant identities that emanate from the sexing of borders.

 

Essays should be approximately 1.500 words long
