Dear friends/colleagues/fellow travellers, Please find attached a call for papers for our experimental publication, provisionally entitled: Anti-Atlas: Towards a Critical Area Studies Edited by Wendy Bracewell, Tim Beasley-Murray and Michał Murawski Anti-Atlas traces the alliances and enmities between continents and terrains old and new: between Eurasia and the Second World, the Third World and the Global South; between the suburb and the forest, the extra-terrestrial and the anthropocene, between financial tides and terraqueous drifts. It questions taken-for-granted chronologies and genealogies as well as spatial units: when, precisely, does space equal place? Although planetary in scope, Anti-Atlas is compiled from an (obliquely-defined) East European point of view, gesturing to a provisional ‘Global East’ but rejecting any claims to universal validity. Anti-Atlas is composed of three sections: Counter-Canon; Critical Continents; Wandering (or Sedentary) Critics (or Dogmatics) Deadline for 200-word abstracts and suggestions: 31 January 2018 Submissions (800-2,000 words) due 31 May 2018 Please see the attached CFP for more details.
