Call for articles 
Gender and consumer cultures
in late- and post-authoritarian Greece, Spain and Portugal, 1960s–1980s 
We invite
scholars to submit abstracts for a proposed volume on the intersection of
gender and consumer cultures in Greece, Portugal and Spain from the 1960s to 1980s.
The three countries serve as ideal examples for a comparative and, potentially,
a transfer analysis, based on similarities with regards to their political and
financial conditions as well as to the significant social and cultural changes
that occurred in the late period and in the aftermath of the Francoist regime
(1936/39–1975), the Estado Novo (1933–1974) and the military dictatorship in
Greece (1967–1974). We welcome the contribution of scholars working in diverse
fields of the humanities, such as history, anthropology, sociology,
cultural studies, media studies, discourse theory, political theory and
performance studies.
Potential topics (in relation
to one of three countries, or from a comparative/transfer perspective) are:
	* Consumer culture and identity/relation of individual to collective. Relationship between consumer expectations and actual practice. Impact of migration and tourism
	* Spaces, objects, performances: leisure, spaces, fashion, cosmetics,  sex shops
	* The ‘production of consumption’; the crafting and impact of advertising
	* Representations of gender and consumption, circulating, among others, in newspapers, textbooks, tourist brochures, publications of diverse actors, such as political parties, consumer associations and the church
	* Emergence of gender stereotypes, normativity, gender performativity (for instance, queer/drag)
