Call for Publications Theme: Unsettling Place and Space Publication: Edited Collection Deadline: 16.5.2016 __________________________________________________ Researchers from a variety of disciplines have increasingly turned their attention to the contemplation and investigation of place and space. This increasing interest in place and space – and recognition of their importance – has sent researchers in a range of new and unpredictable directions. The resulting body of scholarship is exciting, diverse, complex, challenging, and at times contradictory. Turning towards place and space can therefore be an unsettling experience. There are difficulties in conceptualising place and space, and the relationship between these concepts is disputed. Taking account of place and space also requires researchers to re-think the deployment of spatial language and concepts in research and analysis. And places and spaces themselves have the power to unsettle those who dwell in, inhabit or pass through them. With this in mind, this edited collection will examine the ways in which considerations of place and/or space can be unsettling. It will draw together researchers from across the disciplines in order to chart the unsettled landscapes in which we find ourselves. We therefore invite contributions from researchers from a range of disciplinary perspectives who are interested in space and place that speak to the key theme of unsettling, broadly conceived. We are particularly interested in contributions that consider the ways in which the turn to space and/or place might unsettle: - Research practices - Pedagogies - Identities - Ruralities - Geographies (rural, urban, digital) - Histories - Politics Please email abstracts of 200-300 words, along with a short bio, to [email protected] by Monday 16 May 2016.
