The procedure to follow to apply are explained in detail here: https://www.theglobaljusticenetwork.org/.../special-issue... The editors of the journal, Christine Straehle (christine.straehle@uottawa.ca) and Miriam Ronzoni (miriam.ronzoni@manchester), are also happy to answer questions. "Global Justice: Theory Practice Rhetoric" (https://www.theglobaljusticenetwork.org/index.php/gjn) is a peer-reviewed, open-access e-journal which publishes original research in international political theory, with special emphasis on global justice. Whilst nearly all the work we publish is primarily special-issue based, special issues are sometimes edited by the journal editors, or solicited. We are currently interested in reviewing guest-edited special issues on themes pertinent to the journals aims and scope, which can be found here: https://www.theglobaljusticenetwork.org/index.php/gjn/about-the-journal?fbclid=IwAR0DrX345GvhbUqE9WeYCWUndLyqMgn5ExkqSaqwJtBF6UuqnEQACuDvm-g

Call for Contributions

Canadian Settler Colonialism: Reliving the Past, Opening New Paths

Graduate Student Symposium and Open Access Publication

To take place virtually – October 14, 2022

Projects to be submitted by July 31, 2022

The questions. What does contemporary settler colonialism look like in Canada, and what reconciliatory and decolonial strategies exist to resist and counter its effects? What historical processes, what policies have led to the current moment, and how are these processes and policies present today under new guises?

The context. Canada is a long-established settler colonial nation state; and yet very few Canadians understand what this means historically or for present-day reconciliatory and decolonial efforts. we could characterize settler colonial Canada as a nation state structured to exploit, marginalize, and assimilate Indigenous peoples (Green 1995), and to exterminate Indigenous specific populations, resource use, inherent rights, and overall livelihoods (Coulthard 2014). Decolonization is the dismantling of any (imperial or settler) colonial inequities and the resurgence of Indigenous-centred political, legal, and social constructs. Increasingly, critiques of Canada’s decolonial and reconciliatory frameworks demonstrate inadequacies in these attempts. Much of this is because settler colonialism is insidious, difficult to detect and dismantle, and relatively under-studied in Canada. Additionally, reconciliation and decolonization jeopardize the very survival of the settler colonial enterprise, which is premised on the elimination of Indigenous peoples (or, at a minimum, Indigenous difference). This project therefore focuses on responses from Indigenous peoples, racialized minorities, and settlers to understand in order to dismantle the insidious nature of oppression unique to settler colonialism.

The project. This call for contributions aims to collect contributions toward a collective effort to chart how the history of settler colonialism is carried and lived in the present, and what acts of resistance and resurgence are being undertaken to unmake it. Combining academic disciplines and lived experience, its result will be an Open Educational Resource, free of use, made available online to everyone without registration through the University of Regina Open Textbooks program (https://opentextbooks.uregina.ca/).

This collection, focusing primarily on settler colonialism in Canada (with some comparative examples from other western settler states), will be a timely contribution to the fields of Indigenous studies, race studies, Canadian politics, and settler colonial studies. We have structured the wider project around three general perspectives: Indigenous Peoples, Multicultural/Racialized Settlers, and Settlers of European background. While the collection will focus on Canada as a settler state, we acknowledge and will recognize that borders are imposed and porous and that the territories, places, and personal and collective trajectories affected by settler colonialism are not contained in “Canada.”

The call. Potential contributors are asked to provide a proposal, of a maximum of one page, including:

·  Name, affiliation(s) (including national affiliation if Indigenous), and contact information;

·  Provisional title;

·  Outline and overview of what their contribution would be;

·  Methodology and genre of writing;

·  Short biography and explanation of what makes them the right person to provide this contribution.

We encourage creative responses and, to this end, suggest a word count of 2,500-4,000 words.

However, we are very flexible on length and genre, and entries such as a sequence of poems are also of interest to us. Since this is an online resource, video and sound contributions are also possible. The style can be academic, but it can also be personal, anchored in your own insights, experiences, and community perspectives. The intent ought to be pedagogical, since the resource is meant as a supplementary introduction / textbook for settler colonial studies.

This call is primarily meant for graduate students. Senior undergraduate students as well as non-students with a desire to continue or take up their studies at the graduate level are warmly encouraged to submit.

Languages. We encourage the inclusion of concepts and passages in Indigenous languages, and ask that the English equivalent be included (it will be added as notes). Les propositions en français pourront également être acceptées et publiées, but activities will take place in English.

Funding. Acceptance of the projected contributions will come with a bursary of $500 (Canadian dollars). Depending on the quality of proposals and availability of funds, more contributions may be invited without a bursary.

Expectations. This is a collective project and not simply an individual contribution! Proposals will be selected based on to following criteria:

·  Complementarity with other projects toward a cohesive online resource;

·  Strong, grounded/localized perspective;

·  Engagement with Indigenous scholars’ work as well as, where relevant, central contributions to the literature;

·  Engagement with anti-colonial, decolonial, and anti-racist scholarship;

·  Diversity of perspectives brought into the symposium and volume by the range of selected participants.

Participants will be expected to:

·  Be present, or watch recordings of, four public virtual talks in June 2022 focusing on the experiences of settler colonialism in Treaty Four territory and the broader context of the Prairies;

·  Be present, and participate as audience members, in a day of workshops which will take place in Regina on September 24, 2022 – either in person or virtually – and if possible two virtual workshops on September 30 and October 7;

·  Present a paper at a virtual Student Symposium on October 14, 2022 (date to be confirmed);

·  Prepare their paper for publication in an Open Access Publication by December 1, 2022, and answer editor queries and suggestions for publication to happen in Winter 2023;

·  Attend to accessibility in their contribution, with the help of the editors.

*OPEN ARTISTS CALL*

Virtual Art Exhibition:

“Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Cosmic Art”

“If there is a modern age, it is, of course, the age of the cosmic.”

(Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus)

Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and Félix Guattari (1930-1992) are among the few contemporary thinkers who incorporate cosmological questioning into their philosophy, thus renewing an old and partly lost way of seeing philosophy's task. They redefine traditional transcendent cosmologies, which speculate on the laws of organization and ontological superiority of heavens, in favour of an immanent experience of the world and the universe, which makes of the geodynamic and “cosmic” Earth an object of philosophical investigation.

This redefinition is inspired by scientists (Mandelbrot, Prigogine, etc.), philosophers (Nietzsche, Whitehead, Bergson, etc.), and artists. Among the most prominent artists who announced the development of Deleuze and Guattari’s c(ha)osmological thinking are Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky’s cosmic pictural and theoretical themes, James Joyce and Witold Gombrowicz’s cosmic literary awareness, and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s cosmic music. The objective of this exhibition is to explore the multifaceted aspects of the “cosmic” in Deleuze and Guattari’s through the work of contemporary visual and musical artists. The exhibition will reflect the new interpretations of contemporary art as grasped by artists through the concepts of Deleuze and Guattari's c(ha)osmological theory. It shall provide consistency to the “cosmic” that Deleuze and Guattari consider characteristic for modern art.

This exhibition is intended to favour dialogue among artists, art lovers, art historians, Deleuze scholars, scientists, as well as amateur astronomers. It will gather visual art works (painting, sculpture, drawing, cinema/video, multimedia) and musical works from local, national, international and Deleuze-inspired artists, and/or art works reflecting the topics, including works from Aboriginal/Indigenous artists. It will be complemented with an open access booklet which will include commentaries and excerpts from Deleuze and Guattari’s work. 

The exhibition was initially envisaged to be presented in an art gallery, but the pandemic inspired us to make it virtual. Pending on the health crisis situation, it might later be turned into a traveling exhibition presented in various cities, art galleries, or other venues such as Science North (Sudbury, Canada), Alvernia's Miller Gallery (USA) and/or Galerie Antoine-Sirois (Université de Sherbrooke, Canada).

Artists are kindly invited to send by email a high definition photos or video of their visual art works, or digital musical recordings, and/or a web link to their work, along with a short description (title, year of composition, etc.) that should be accompanied by an explanatory note of their work and how it relates with the work of Deleuze & Guattari.
 
Email:
cosmo@laurentian.ca

Art works that fits this open call will be posted in a special section of our research’s webpage ‹www3.laurentian.ca/deleuzecosmo›. There is no formal deadline. The idea is to build a catalogue of contemporary art works inspired by Deleuze and Guattari’s conception of the cosmic, or art works that connect implicitly with Deleuze and Guattari’s sense of cosmicity. This catalogue is meant to remain incomplete, just like the uni/multi-verse itself which is eternally in the midst of its own composition…

Dr. Gennady Chitov (Institut quantique, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada)
Dr. Ubi Wichoski (Snolab, Canada)
Dr. Alain Beaulieu (Laurentian University, Canada)
Martin Boucher - Research coordinator (Human Studies & Interdisciplinarity, Laurentian Uni., Canada)

This virtual exhibition is part of a research project entitled “Gilles Deleuze and Cosmology” funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), housed at Laurentian University, and developed in partnership with Alvernia University as well as Université de Sherbrooke.

CALL FOR PAPERS

for a topical issue of Open Theology

After the Theological Turn: Essays in (New) Continental Philosophical Theology

“Open Theology” (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth) invites submissions for the topical issue “After the Theological Turn: Essays in (New) Continental Philosophical Theology”, edited by Martin Koci (University of Vienna).

Flyer:

https://www.degruyter.com/publication/journal_key/OPTH/downloadAsset/OPTH_CFP%20After%20the%20Theological%20Turn.pdf

DESCRIPTION

This topical issue aims to explore, interrogate and reflect on the ways in which contemporary continental philosophy, and phenomenology in particular, unfolds and advances the development of philosophical theology. What does it mean to practice theology after the philosophical return to religion? During the last few decades, the renewal of theology has been much discussed in light of philosophical lectures that have revisited fundamental Christian concepts. However, the debate seems to be stuck on rather formal questions about whether the theological turn happened or not, whether it has been a legitimate or illegitimate development, and whether theology and philosophy can benefit at all from reconsidering their disciplinary borders. Moreover, from the theological perspective, crucial issues continue to be unresolved: What should the proper propaedeutic framework for theological work be in a secular context? How to formulate theologically valid as well as contextually plausible truth-claims? What kind of grammar should be employed in theology to create not only rational but also credible discourse? The working hypothesis behind this thematic issue is that philosophical—in particular phenomenological—engagement with theological concepts transforms the fundamental theological practice, revisits its rigor, and provides the possibility of developing an intelligible grammar for articulating normative theological claims. 

     We invite scholars in theology and continental philosophy of religion to address the following questions: Is phenomenology a suitable ancilla theologiae to provide theologians with sufficient philosophical grammar? Is it possible to develop, after the demise of metaphysics, a phenomenological theology? How does theology look after Marion, Henry, Chrétien, Lacoste, Falque et al.? Does theology benefit from philosophical reconsiderations of fundamental Christian concepts such as Revelation, the Incarnation, the Resurrection, etc.? The nerve and, at the same time, novelty of raising the question about after the theological turn is a critical application of explicit theological perspectives to thus test both the potential of and limits to philosophical reconsiderations of the theological for formulating plausible as well as credible theology.

Authors publishing their articles in the topical issue will benefit from:

– transparent, comprehensive and fast peer review,

– free language assistance for authors from non-English speaking regions.

Because "Open Theology" is published under an Open Access model, as a rule, publication costs should be covered by Article Publishing Charges (APC), paid by authors, their affiliated institutions, funders or sponsors. 

Authors without access to publishing funds are encouraged to discuss potential discounts or waivers with Managing Editor of the journal Katarzyna Tempczyk (katarzyna.tempczyk@degruyter.com) before submitting their manuscripts.

CALL FOR PAPERS

for a topical issue of Open Theology

Phenomenology of Religious Experience IV: Religious Experience and Description (second call)
 

Edited by:

Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (UC Davis and Jesuit School of Theology)

James Nelson (University of Valparaiso)

Aaron Preston (University of Valparaiso)

DESCRIPTION

"Open Theology" (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth) invites submissions for the topical issue "Phenomenology of Religious Experience IV: Religious Experience and Description", prepared in collaboration with the Society for the  Phenomenology of Religious Experience (www.sophere.org).

This topical issue will illumine possibilities and difficulties arising in the description of religious experience.  Does religious experience harbor concealed empirical and phenomenological complexity, and how do we address complexity in a focused description which aims at revealing the essence of experience? We invite an interplay between pragmatics of describing religious experience, philosophical and theological issues involved in creation of description, and theoretical models of how religious and spiritual experience may be described.  We will accept papers dedicated to description of perception, imagination, body-awareness, recollection, social cognition, self-experience, temporality etc. in the context of religious experience. How does phenomenological description of religious experience
translate into ecology, history, or natural science? What are cultural influences in the description of religious experience? The papers should provide not just the description of experience per se, but an analysis of the process or outcome of description and reflection on what description of religious experience per se entails.  Such reflections must employ phenomenological philosophy, such as e.g. in the work of Anthony Steinbockor Jean-Luc Marion, but can also draw on contemporary dialogues between phenomenological philosophy and other philosophical and theological traditions, such as we see in the work of researchers like Espen Dahl, Matthew Ratcliffe, Dan Zahavi, Stanley Cavell, or Evan Thompson, to name a few.

Tentative themes:

I. Creating Descriptions of Religious Experience

  *   How does one actually describe religious experience? What difficulties and delights are in this process? How do we clarify such descriptions?

  *   How does the process/outcome of describing religious experience differ from of ordinary experience?

  *   How does one approach the negative (absences) and the positive (presences) in these descriptions?

  *   How does description capture embodied, affective, and metaphysical aspects of experience?

  *   What are the relationships between the description and the essence of religious experience. What determines experience as religious, or spiritual, and gives it a unique character, intelligible to others?

  *   How do the questions of otherness or strangeness play out in description and understanding a description of religious and spiritual experience?

  *   Who can understand a description of religious experience? Academic researchers?  Religious practitioners or authorities?  Informed consumers? Contemporaries or successors?

  *   Can religious and spiritual experience be described by means of natural language, or does it require some kind of special language? Do neologisms clarify or do they obfuscate religious experiences?

  *   What are the functions of language in description of religious or spiritual experience?

  *   How does historicity impact a description of religious experience?

  *   What are the communicological virtues in description of religious experience?

  *   What are the relationships between the description and the phenomena "in excess"?

  *   What are the purposes of description of religious experience, and how intentions in communication already presuppose the structure of description of religious experience we find in texts?

II. Models for Descriptions of Religious and Spiritual Experience

  *   How do phenomenological theories and frameworks influence description of religious experience? For example, would a description intended to serve as a ground of phenomenological analyses along the lines of Husserl's phenomenology be identical with a description of experience in the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion or non-intentional phenomenology of Michel Henry?  Or can such a description reflect a "view from nowhere"?

  *   What role do religious beliefs play in religious experience, and can phenomenology provide a clarification of religious presuppositions?

  *   How, and to what extent, can disciplines other than phenomenology (e.g. psychology, psychiatry, neurology, anthropology, theology) provide person-level descriptions of phenomenological relevance?

  *   How can the phenomenological description of religious experience change existing models and theoretical assumptions in other fields of knowledge or in phenomenology itself? For instance, can empirical findings in religious experiencing refine and improve classical phenomenological analyses?

  *   Can religious experience be subjected to constitutive phenomenological analysis, and can a phenomenological account of any given aspect of religiosity provide an accurate or adequate description of religious phenomena? How do claims to presuppositionlessness affect such accounts?

  *   How does the question of authority play out in first person description and the analysis of second person description in texts? What ethical limitations exist in descriptions or discussions of religious
experience from either a first or second-person standpoint?

  *   Can common-sense metaphysics support the demands in description of religious experiencing?

III. Description of religious experience, and ecology, environmental studies, health sciences, natural sciences, history, business studies, etc.
