Call for Publications Theme: Trespassing Nation Publication: Trespassing Journal List-Post: [email protected] Date: Inaugural Issue (Fall 2011) Deadline: 29.4.2011 __________________________________________________ The editors of Trespassing Journal seek articles for its in-progress inaugural issue to be published online in Fall 2011. Trespassing Journal is a new, fully peer-reviewed biannual journal that is committed to publishing fresh and original research in the fields of artistic production (including literature, film, new media, video-art, fine arts, experimental and avant-garde art, etc.) that trespass the sacrosanct grounds of the theoretical and artistic disciplines, and also question the established boundaries between art, science and philosophy. For more information please visit our website: http://www.trespassingjournal.com/ The inaugural issue of Trespassing Journal focuses on trespassing the nation. While the civil movements in the Middle East react against the abuse of power, the phenomenology of the nation-state and its authority still remains a contested issue. Furthermore, with the globalized world economy and culture, and with the unlimited coverage of digital media online and Internet technologies, it has become harder to define the limits and the boundaries of the national. In this context, the relationship between art and the nation/national is an intriguing juncture especially for the works of art that do not fit the national imagination. What is at stake in producing art works that contest national ideologies in our global world? How can works created within ethnic minorities offer formal experiments in political and artistic expression? How do global media enable the trespassing of the nation? From this perspective the inaugural issue of Trespassing Journal creates an alternative intellectual ground where the national is trespassed, negated, transformed, and mediated in order to reveal and challenge the grand narrative of the nation. Areas of exploration/inquiry include but are not limited to: - National/Transnational/International Art - Art and Diaspora - Art and Ethnicity - Minority Art - Migration, Exile and Aesthetics - Digital Art and Its Boundaries - Art and Global Visual Culture - Art and Censorship - Art and Politics - Politics of Auteurship/Authorship - Blogging - Nation and Translation Trespassing Journal invites articles as well as book and film reviews, interviews, and original artwork from academics, graduate students, and artists. Prospective contributors should submit an abstract of approximately 500 words and a resume by April 29th 2011. Selected authors will be invited to submit full papers (of maximum 9000 words) according to the style guidelines. Acceptance of the abstract does not guarantee publication since all papers will be subject to double blind peer-review. Submissions are accepted in English.
