Call for Publications Theme: Thinking in Exile Subtitle: The Nomadic Philosophy of Vilèm Flusser Publication: Azimuth. Philosophical Coordinates in Modern and Contemporary Age Date: Issue No. 1/2019 Deadline: 30.11.2018 __________________________________________________ The international philosophical journal "Azimuth. Philosophical Coordinates in Modern and Contemporary Age" invites contributions to the issue 1/2019, focused on: "Thinking in Exile. The Nomadic Philosophy of Vilèm Flusser" (ed. by Reiner Guldin and Marco Carassai). Since the early nineties, the reception of Vilém Flusser was mainly focused on his media theory. If on the one hand this focus allowed to launch the first development in the study of Flusser’s ideas, on the other hand, it ended to conceal other relevant topics and theoretical attempts of the Czech-born philosopher. Even if his work appears fragmented into several disciplines and areas, there is an original source that produces this variety of topics and methodologies: a deep connection between exile, creativity, and thought. As a matter of fact, Flusser’s philosophy is thinking in exile between nations and national identities across different languages (German, Portuguese, English, and French), between and outside defined disciplines and scientific fields, after history and geography, maybe also beyond man. In this regard, the entire Flusser’s oeuvre becomes an expression of a collapsed ground, also revealing an unexpected sense of freedom, both existential and philosophical. His path of thinking exhibits radical unfaithfulness towards homeness and reassuring boundaries, both spatial and epistemological, both literal and metaphorical. The purpose of this issue of Azimuth is to map this – not yet sufficiently explored – intersection in Flusser's thought, by taking into account the complexity of his multifaceted thinking and the overlapping of different fields. We encourage the submission of papers which intend to develop the contamination of different languages and levels as well as the theoretical bond between exile and thought under different perspectives (historical-geographical, philosophical and biographical, linguistic and political). We invite contributions in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Please send your papers to: editor...@azimuthjournal.com Deadline (for the complete article): November 30, 2018 Min-Max contribution length: Contributions are expected to be between 25.000 characters and 34.000 characters (spaces and footnotes included). Azimuth. Philosophical Coordinates in Modern and Contemporary Age is a highly-scientific review headed for an international public.
