*EXCURSIONS JOURNAL 8:1*



*Call for Papers and Abstracts: ‘Networks’*



*Deadline for Symposium Abstracts: 31 July 2017*



*Deadline for Journal Articles: 31 October 2017*





*‘To operate within the matrix of power is not the same as to replicate
uncritically relations of domination.’ Judith Butler, Gender Trouble (1990)*



*‘They have built tents across the campuses and lived there, both to show
the impact indebtedness is having on their lives, to show that they need to
move away from a university that is becoming more and more like a financial
operation, more and more commercialised.’ Sylvia Federici, Education and
the Enclosure of Knowledge in the Global University (2007)*



‘*One thanksgiving, Danny spent hours handing out flowers to people on a
busy street. It was like he was trying to jumpstart a zone of contact in
the world.’ Kathleen Steward, Ordinary Affects (2007)*





The recent political turmoil, in both the US and European context, has made
tangible the desire for dissolution of old networks of trade, communication
and allies, and we find ourselves debating the formation of new structures,
and their impact on the everyday as well as the political hierarchy. In the
meantime, networks of resistance to the right have sprung up: the Women's
March on Washington found itself in solidarity with sister marches across
the globe; people across Britain and the US wore safety pins to mark
themselves as a resource for immigrants made newly vulnerable. Divided
across the political spectrum, what these political happenings have in
common is a belief in the plasticity of networks and the potential they
have to create an alternative to the present.



Equally, developments in technology have enabled intimate surveillance of
our everyday lives, increasing the potential for intrusion and violence, by
both governments and corporations.  Networks can be deeply conservative,
restructuring academic and professional fields which are often rendered
invisible in the process. Mechanisms of control, corporate or professional
networks, and the norms/practices that constitute them, can ingrain
societal exclusion and privilege.



Environmental crises, war and migration demonstrate how seemingly disparate
processes are deeply networked and how both social, natural and technical
systems are mutually constitutive.  This highlights the need to be aware of
the networked complexity of the world, and the entanglement of human and
nonhuman phenomenon, which is crucial to make sense of the world in which
we exist.



Excursions Journal are seeking abstracts of 250 – 300 words for a symposium
due to take place at the University of Sussex on 27 September 2017, and
journal articles of 3000-5000 words.  We are interested in receiving
submissions from a range of disciplines that engage with instances,
contemporary and historic, where the networks we have established matter.
This could include, but is not limited to:



-      How networks in our historical approaches help us to better
understand our present moment, or reinterpret our narratives of the past

-      Representations of networked practices in art, literature and music

-      Spatialisation, architecture and place

-      Economic networks of production, distribution and/or exchange

-      Telecommunication, technology and surveillance, conspiracy, and
in/visibility

-      How networks structure organisations and hierarchies, engaging with
networks of power, politics, social mobility and privilege

-      How networks are embodied, and how networks create and construct
feelings of belonging and/or isolation

-      Migration and borders in relation to local, national and
international networks

-      The role networks play in constructing identity and identity
politics, issues of race, gender and queer networks

-      The transmission of ideas and practices through networking

-      Academic networks and critiques of these, looking inward as well as
outward, considering professional networking, and collaborative practice

-      Inclusion, access and discrimination in the public and/or private
spheres

-      Use of complexity theory or speculative entropy to understand social
and practical issues

-      Religion, intentional communities, protest networks and the project
of humanity



The deadline for abstract submissions for the symposium is 31 July 2017,
abstracts should be between 250 – 300 words, and include a short author bio
(no more than 50 words).  Please submit via
