Hi folks
_9/11 Or When the Emergency Becomes the Rule_.
I have recently been approached by a major academic journal of social
and
cultural theory to explore the possibility of putting together a number
of
short but _critical_ social science/humanities articles on September 11
and
its consequences.
We are interested in receiving cultural and social theoretical pieces
that
seek to theorise the relationship between the cultural and social impact
and
aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Centre Twin Towers in New
York
City and the Pentagon on 9/11.
Here is what we are looking for:
* Fresh perspectives.
* Interdisciplinary/ Multidisciplinary approaches.
* Original questions/analyses.
* Use of continental philosophers, critical theorists, postmodernism,
feminism, poststructuralism, anthropology, phenomenology, systems theory
etc.
* The incorporation of the work of Adorno, Deleuze & Guattari,
Baudrillard,
Virilio, Beck, Bauman, Elias, Simmel, Luhmann, Lyotard, Weber, Habermas,
Derrida, Butler, Douglas, Foucault and so on.
* Perspectives from around the world. I would especially like to
encourage
contributions and contacts from people in South America, South East
Asia,
Japan and Africa as well as from Europe, the USA and Australia and New
Zealand.
* Short pieces, 2-3000 words in length. Deadline: the end of January
2002.
* Pointers to outstanding pieces published in English.
* Pointers to outstanding articles in languages _other than English and
any
offers of translation of such pieces.
I must emphasize that, at this point, this project is at an exploratory
stage. Whether it comes off or not more or less depends on what arrives
in
my inbox between now and next January.
Please feel free to circulate this around any other appropriate e-lists.
Best wishes
John
