Dear colleagues, Submissions for "A World of Difference: Disability, Culture, and the (P)Art of Those Who Have No (P)Art" co-edited by Sara Maria Acevedo and me are starting to come in. It's not too late to submit, and we encourage you to contact us if you would like to send us your work and need more time. Here, as a reminder, is the call: Issue 51: November 2018: A World of Difference: Disability, Culture, and the (P)Art of Those Who Have No (P)Art [Last date for submission: 15 September, 2018; Date of publication: 1 November, 2018] Guest-Editors: Dr. Sara M. Acevedo, Human Development and ASN Faculty, Bellevue College, Bellevue WA and Dr. Stefan Sunandan Honisch, PhD (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada), Independent Researcher. Concept Note: Disability activists and scholars mark a division between disability arts and culture, on one side, and mainstream arts and culture in which disabled people participate. The division is based on the premise that disability arts and culture express a politics of self-representation often unavailable or severely limited within mainstream artistic, cultural, and performance traditions. This proposed issue of Café Dissensus explores how this division works in theory and practice, drawing on disability arts and culture practices from around the world. The issue’s title plays on Jacques Rancière’s (2010) understanding of “the political subject” as “the part of those who have no part” (p. 70). Contributors will have the opportunity to converse with this understanding in both articles, as well as multi-media formats, and to frame their contributions in response to two main questions: 1) How do disabled artists, musicians, and writers locate their creative work? 2) How do both disability arts and culture, and mainstream culture locate certain disabled bodies as the (p)art of those who have no (p)art? Submissions should be of roughly 2000-2500 words. Some longer pieces would be considered, if they deserve more space. Submissions will be accepted until 15 September, 2018 and the issue will be published on 1 November, 2018. -- Stefan Sunandan Honisch, PhD Independent Scholar, Educator, and Musician Member of the Board, Canadian Centre on Disability Studies https://hcommons.org/members/stefan2018/ ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
