Call for Papers
"Living Indigenous Philosophies"
New book series from the State University of New York (SUNY)
Press, edited by Anne Waters and Agnes B. Curry
http://www.livingindigenousphilosophies.net
We are soliciting manuscripts or manuscript proposals that
articulate and explicate geographically specific Indigenous
worldviews, using Indigenous methods of understanding.
The series is envisioned as a forum for members of
Indigenous groups to articulate worldviews that arise in
specific places and for specific peoples. Indigenous ways of
knowing and expressing philosophical understandings of world
and human place within that world are expressly privileged
in this series.
A central organizing theme in this global series is that
geography plays an important role in what we experience, and
hence in what Indigenous people articulate about the world.
The topography, flora, and fauna of a geographical region
give rise to unique and specific philosophical ways of being
in the world, scientific understandings of that world, as
well as cultural language, diet, and mores.
We are seeking manuscripts that express, from the
perspective of specific Indigenous groups, ways of knowing
(epistemologies), types of being (metaphysics), and systems
of community (ethical, social and political philosophies). A
broad variety of methods are encouraged. We are also
encouraging projects examining the philosophies of specific
themes or practices, for example:
Time
Power
Science
Roles
Space
Games
Gender
Language
Cosmos
Symbols
Passages
Cycles
Self
Music
Health
