The Journal invites contributions for its third issue: "Social closure and
identities". Authors are invited to explore the differentiation of "us" from
"them", its transformation and trespassing in various social classifications
based on gender, ethnicity, occupation, lifestyles, body shapes, beliefs, or
other marks.
The Call for papers invites contributions that clarify, for Journal readers,
the social processes involved in social closure and social openings, and
their relevance for shaping identities. Some of the topics which may be of
interest in this reflection include:
- How are social borders created, maintained, transformed, discarded, or
ignored?
- What repertoires of norms regulate border crossings?
- How do individuals approach social borders and their rules of use?
- How do moral concepts and judgments relate to processes of social closure?
- How are groups and group identities shaped and transformed?
- Does social closure shape in any way the process of sociological or
anthropological research?
Best wishes,
Simona Ciotlaus
