ISRF Essay Prize in Social Theory

Deadline: 31st March 2020
The Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) and the Journal
for the Theory of Social Behaviour (JTSB) intend to award a prize
of €7,000 for the best essay on a topic within the area of social
behaviour and its investigation.
Authors are free to choose the topic they wish to write on, and their
title. The essay will be judged on its originality and independence of
thought, its scholarly quality, its potential to challenge received
ideas, and the success with which it matches the criteria of the ISRF
and the JTSB. The successful essay will be intellectually radical,
orthogonal to existing debates, and articulate a strong internal
critique across the fields of social science research. Its challenge to
received ideas will have the potential to provoke a re-thinking of the
topic. Reflective theory articles are encouraged.
The ISRF is interested in original research ideas that take new
approaches and suggest new solutions, to real world social problems. The
full statement of the ISRF’s criteria and goals may be viewed on the
ISRF website

JTSB aims to advance understandings of social behaviour, that is, people
acting in relation to, or being constituted through, the social world of
other people, institutions, and material and symbolic culture. More
detail about the Journal and recent debates can be found on the
Journal’s website
<https://isrf.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1b81f160b006ed10808142489&id=f428be9bc4&e=9b22fa301a>.
Essays selected for the shortlist by the Editors and the ISRF will be
judged by a joint ISRF-JTSB academic panel (the ISRF Essay Prize
Committee). The panel’s decision will be final, and no assessments or
comments will be made available. The result will be notified to
applicants by email during the summer of 2020, and will then be
announced by posting on the websites of the ISRF and of the JTSB. The
ISRF and the JTSB reserve the right not to award the Prize if there is
no essay judged to be of sufficient merit.

We are accustomed to thinking of time as a unidirectional phenomenon,
where past, present and future are ordered in a linear way and where the
boundary between the then and the now is reliably impermeable. Mapped
onto our self-conception as social scientists, this view of time can
easily be translated into equally impermeable disciplinary frontiers:
the historian concerns herself with the past, whilst the political
scientist or the sociologist is dedicated to studying the present. There
are situations, however, where this neat and intuitive notion of
temporality begins to falter. Indeed, there exist spaces where the pull
of the past is so strong that its distinction from the present comes to
fade away. Here, the division that separates the now from the then
ceases to be a boundary and becomes a threshold, inviting us to
remember, study or acknowledge the events and people that made us who we
are today. This Bulletin asks how we are to make sense of the complex
relationship between spatiality and temporality.
