Call for Publications Theme: Contributions to African Phenomenology Publication: Edited Collection Date: 2021 Deadline: 31.5.2020 __________________________________________________ There is a growing appreciation of phenomenology as a subfield within African and Africana philosophy. However, the term “African phenomenology” is not used as widely, nor has it been as systematically elaborated as its counterpart, Africana phenomenology. A recent international colloquium convened on the theme Contributions to African Phenomenology in Chintsa, South Africa (University of Fort Hare) devoted itself to addressing this lacuna by seeking to seminally establish the theoretical contours of African phenomenology. Proceeding from this colloquium, an edited collection of chapters that reflect on the method, history, domain, themes, examples and prospects of African phenomenology is envisaged. This collection will be based on peer-reviewed presentations that were delivered at this colloquium, newly commissioned papers, and contributions from the wider philosophical community following on this call. Themes The collection is to be framed around the themes emanating from the four keynote papers presented by Lewis Gordon, Paulin Hountondji, Rozena Maart and Achille Mbembe. These themes are: - Methodology and scope - Subjectivity and language - Intentionality and meaning - Experience and embodiment - Methods and contemporary challenges Contributors are invited to submit abstracts under the abovementioned thematic sections. Editors Abraham Olivier (University of Fort Hare), M. John Lamola (University of Pretoria), Justin Sands (North-West University). An agreement with an international institutional publisher deemed appropriate for this historic collection is in progress. Submission procedure Abstracts of the intended chapter(s) contribution not exceeding 500 words, with a proposed title as well as a brief 200-word biographical statement must be received by the editors on or before 31 May 2020. The editors will select the suitability of the projected chapter based on the abstracts submitted. Formal acceptance of the abstract, with publication details and possibly editorial guidance, will be communicated by 30 July 2020. All manuscripts must be submitted on or before 31 October 2020, and must be ready for a double-blind peer review with a turnaround time of 90 days. The organisers plan to make a final submission of the complete manuscript to the publisher during the first semester of 2021.
