Call for Publications Theme: Philosophy and the Other Publication: Otherness: Essays and Studies Date: Issue 4.1 Deadline: 5.7.2013 __________________________________________________ 'Otherness: Essays and Studies' is now accepting submissions for a special issue: 'Philosophy and the Other'. We welcome papers dealing with any aspect of otherness in relation to philosophy and cultural theory. Otherness is a complex and multivalent term in the context of philosophical thought. It is most essentially defined as 'difference', both via outside markers and internal characteristics. However, Otherness is also an important part of self-definition. Inevitably bound to all considerations of subjectivity, it extends outward as a fundamental marker in discussions of ontology, epistemology, phenomenology, aesthetics, and the political. In light of more recent cultural trends, philosophy further engages with the blushed boundaries of identity in transcultural contexts that render the entire concept of otherness even more intricate and problematic. This is what we hope to engage with in the current issue of Otherness: Essays and Studies. This issue invites submissions dealing with areas including, but not limited to: - Perception and the Other - Otherness and Aesthetics - Memory, History, Trauma, and Otherness - Ethics, Responsibility, and the Other - Absolute Otherness - The Ontology of the Other - Healing Otherness: Sanity & Suffering - Epistemological Considerations of the Other Articles should be between 5,000 – 8,000 words. All electronic submissions should be sent via email with Word document attachment formatted to Chicago Manual of Style standards, to our guest editor Michelle Cooney at: [email protected] Deadline for submissions: July 5th 2013. 'Otherness: Essays & Studies' as a peer reviewed online journal was inspired by the immense research productivity of recent collaborative projects undertaken by members of the Centre for Studies in Otherness at Aarhus University. In the last two years, these have included conferences, seminars, special edition journal issues and a hard copy edited essay collection which is soon to be completed. Via 'Otherness: Essays & Studies', we seek to publish research articles from and across different academic disciplines that examine, in as many ways as possible, the concepts of otherness and alterity. As such, we now offer an outlet for the dissemination of such research into otherness and aim to provide an open and active forum for academic discussion. We particularly appreciate dynamic cross-disciplinary study.
