The Society’s journal has just published a new issue – a special issue on the theme of masculinities!
Edited by French and gender studies specialists Todd Reeser and Kaliane Ung, this exciting issue explores the intersections of feminism and critical studies on men and masculinities (CSMM). The issue opens with an editors’ introduction that details the history of Beauvoir’s relation with CSMM and the role of masculinity in contemporary French feminisms. Articles discuss Beauvoir’s understandings of masculinity and transmasculinity, the ways masculinity and femininity are portrayed in Beauvoir’s and Sartre’s novels, and Beauvoirian readings of works by Henry de Montherlant and Michel Houellebecq.
The issue features recipients of the inaugural Patterson Prize / Prix Patterson competition: a study of transatlantic existentialism by Mickaëlle Provost (Francophone laureate) and a Marxist feminist interpretation of Beauvoir’s play, Useless Mouths, by Anne van Leeuwen (Anglophone laureate). Readers will also find book reviews considering the lives and works of men — Aimé Césaire, Nelson Algren, and Jean-Paul Sartre — who were significant in Beauvoir’s life in different ways. Finally, the issue includes a memorial tribute to Yolanda Astarita Patterson, editor of SdBS and President of the International Beauvoir Society for more than thirty years.
