CALL FOR PAPERS
JANUS HEAD 9.2 (Winter 2006/2007) - Special Issue
TOPIC: The situated body
Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2006.
Guest Editor: Shaun Gallagher ( University of Central Florida)
In recent phenomenological and analytic philosophy, as well as in the
cognitive sciences, emphasis has been given to embodiment. Concepts of
embodied, enactive, and situated cognition have been developed. This
special issue of Janus Head would like to explore questions about how the
body is situated in both physical and social environments. What various
ways can we characterize a situated body, and how does situatedness affect
(or effect) perception, feeling, and cognition more generally? We
especially encourage interdisciplinary approaches to these questions,
including perspectives informed by phenomenology, philosophy of mind,
neuroscience, Gibsonian and developmental psychologies, and discussions of
self, the experience of others, narrative, metaphor, architecture, etc.
We are also soliciting poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and
visual art that, in some way or other, address the topic of the situated
body.
