Call for Papers on Gender and Political Religions, Journal "Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions"For over a decade Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions (TMPR) has provided a forum for the exploration of the politics of illiberal ideologies, both religious or secular. The journal entails critical analysis of theory and international case studies pertaining to: The historic and ongoing interaction between religion and politics; the impact of religious radicalism on public policy, political attitudes and decision-making; secular but 'totalising' movements, such as fascism, Nazism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Ba'athism; conflict between illiberal ideologies (both religious and secular) and their opponents; publicly enforced (ir)religion and dissent; the contemporary politics of religious revival, in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.In the course of 2010, TMPR intends to publish a double-issue dedicated to the study of gender and political religions. Empirical work as well as theoretical or conceptual pieces will be included.We have particular interest in the following fields:Feminist approaches to the study of political religionWomen as actors in religio-political movements, militant or otherwiseThe social construction of the female/the feminine in religio-political ideologiesThe question of women's voices within systems of political religions.Notions of masculinity in political religions.Women as radical actors/ women as dissenting voices.Case-studies pertaining to any ideology, any faith tradition and from across the world (whether the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas) are welcomed.All papers will be double blind peer-reviewed prior to publication. It is anticipated that the special issue will subsequently be re-published as a book by Routledge (subject to the approval of all contents by the publisher).Submission of abstracts: By 15 January 2010 - Notification of inclusion: By 22 January 2010 - Submission of completed papers: By 1 May 2010 - Peer Review: By 15 June 2010 - Submission of final papers: By 15 August 2010 - Special-Issue Publication: By 1 December 2010 - Book publication: By 1 May 2011Please submit extended abstracts (400-500 words), outlining research question, methodology and key arguments by 15 January 2010 unto: editor-tmpr@intr.keele.ac.ukTo view an online sample go to: www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tmpr
