> THE MEANINGS OF VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENCE OF MEANINGS
>
> Issue number 4 of POLYLOG will deal with "violence." We invite
> contributions working on violence and its meanings and contexts from a
> variety of methodological, cultural, and (inter-)disciplinary
> perspectives. The focus should be clearly philosophical, and we are
> particularly interested in conceptual and/or phenomenological
> investigations exploring significant general questions on violence (and
> its co-relative terms in other languages) in novel ways. This could be
> done, for example, by integrating reflections on culturally specific
> contexts and backgrounds, or by referring to currently significant
> socio-cultural and political contexts. We are also interested in exploring
> the kinds of violence associated with the increasing control of the means
> of signification, interpretation, and understanding. We welcome the use of
> case studies, feeding in to an interculturally accessible discussion of
> violence, and we encourage new approaches to the reflection on violence
> altogether.
>
> In this sense, issue number 4 of POLYLOG seeks to present, expose, and
> explore the meanings of violence, in a manner that increases intercultural
> understanding, and furthers the questioning of basic frameworks and power
> structures of our everyday lives. The deadline for submission of articles
> is February 15, 2003. Further details on size and format of submissions
> can be obtained directly from our website at
