No. 7: MASCULINITIES

The seventh issue of HYBRIDA clearly demonstrates the process of internationalisation that is at the basis of the creation of the journal. We offer eight research articles, one creative text and one review from Africa (Ivory Coast, Guinea and Tunisia), the Americas (Brazil, Canada (Quebec) and the United States) and Europe (Spain, France and Romania). The MASCULINITÉ/S Dossier, masterfully coordinated by Ralph Heyndels of the University of Miami, is composed of four articles on the works of the writers Abdellah Taïa, Daniel Van Oosterwyck and Paul B. Preciado; playwright Roland Topor; and filmmakers Nabil Ayouch, José Juan Bigas Luna and Nelly Kaplan. The Mosaic section presents four articles that adopt perspectives from comparative, ecopoetic, gender, postcolonial and subaltern studies to analyse the works of writers from all horizons: Jean-Marie Adiaffi, Aïssatou Diamanka-Besland, Mohamed Alioum Fantouré, Flore Hazoumé, Abdelaziz Kacem and María Reimóndez. In the section Traces, we publish an unpublished text by the Québec writer Monique Proulx, who reflects on her own writing process. In the section Fan we present a review of a collective volume dedicated to the work of Mohammed Dib.
