   When people hear the word ‘gender’, they may think that whatever follows
   must be about things that affect women, or about differences between males
   and females. Yet girls and boys act very differently to adult men and
   women, depending on the cultural context. There are people who do not
   identify with either binary male or female categories, people who identify
   with a different category than the one they were assigned at birth, people
   who identify as intersex, or third or fourth genders, amongst numerous
   others gender configurations.

   Thinking only in terms of numbers of ‘males’ and ‘females’, misses a lot
   of people who experience their gender and gender discrimination in
   different ways. At the same time, as ethnomusicologists and musicologists
   have demonstrated that it is possible to ‘read’ gender in music in
   different ways. Through adopting queer, feminist and gender-critical
   perspectives, these have shown that music can be a force for understanding
   gender differently and for challenging gender inequalities within societies
   at large.

   With this in mind, PERMUSI would like to invite contributions from
   authors who are writing or researching gender in relation to music. We
   warmly invite contributions on the theme of gender in music which explore,
   but are not limited to:

   Gender inequalities in different music contexts

   Reading gender in music

   Gender and music performance

   Gender and music composition

   Masculinities/femininities in music

   Postcolonial and/or non-Western approaches to gender in music

   Queer approaches to gender in music


   Complete article proposals for this special Issue should be written only
   in English and submitted through PERMUSI’s online submission system at
   www.musica.ufmg.br/permusi by January 31st.
