Conference: Adolescent Masculinities in Sociology and Photography: Visual Youth Cultures in the Global North since 1960

Since the 1960s, emancipated, pluralistic and independent youth cultures are on the rise. Even though they are mostly male-dominated, questions of masculinity have rarely been explored until now. The international conference brings together experts to evaluate the sociological and photographic discourses of adolescent masculinities, their function in creating knowledge about male adolescence and its visual representation. In what ways do sociology and visual culture interact when it comes to young men?
