for a topical issue of Open Theology
PHENOMENOLOGY IN DIALOGUE: RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE,
VISUALITY, AND THE LIFEWORLD
(PHENOMENOLOGY OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE III)
(second call)

Society for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience
DESCRIPTION
“Open Theology” (
http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opth) invites submissions
for the topical issue “Phenomenology in Dialogue: Religious Experience,
Visuality, and the Lifeworld”, prepared in collaboration with the Society
for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience (
www.sophere.org).
We invite submission of papers dedicated to the phenomenologically
determined themes of imagination, image-consciousness, appearance and the
non-apparent, phenomenological ontology, and genetic phenomenology, with regard
to religious experience. We further invite innovative philosophical and
theological reflections on image, imagination, and creativity in religious
experiencing, as well as reflections on a reverse problem of how religious
experience contributes to the above mentioned faculties examined in the
psychological horizon. This topic can be further narrowed down to research of
phenomenological visuality, or broadened by thematization of critical issues
arising from research into religious experience, such as, but not limited
to, first-person authority and the relationship between
phenomenological and natural scientific horizons of inquiry: What are the
spheres, regions, and horizons by which we can understand religious experience?
How do traditional topics of phenomenological philosophy, such as the ego,
subjectivity, embodiment, or intersubjectivity, relate to the study of
visuality in religious experience? We invite these and other questions to be
treated not only in the light of classical phenomenological scholarship, but
also within other interpretive and critical approaches; we also welcome
contributions from perspectives of theological phenomenology such as those
connected with the work of Schleiermacher or Troeltsch, French phenomenology,
and the Phenomenology of Life. Papers discussing the manifestations of
visuality in various religious lifeworlds are also invited: does religious
visuality manifest across various traditions and practices? The issue is open
both to theoretical papers and papers with applied practical orientation, as along
as the authors use phenomenological reflection in the treatment of their
findings.
Authors publishing their articles in the topical issue will benefit from:
– transparent, comprehensive and fast peer review,
– efficient route to fast-track publication and full advantage of De
Gruyter Open’s e-technology,
– free language assistance for authors from non-English speaking regions,
– complementary membership in the Society for Phenomenology of Religious
Experience.
