Call for Papers: The Visibility and Invisibility of Violence

Jun 30, 2022

"View. Theories and Practices of Visual Culture" invites to submit abstracts to the issue devoted to the problem of visibility and invisibility of violence. Images showing the violence of war, both still and moving, have become part of the collective experience of everyday life in recent months. Photographs of war crimes and films presenting catastrophic destruction have simply become a part of our social media feed.

CFP: Ecologies of Embodiment (JER 5.2 2022)

Oct 25, 2021

For the forthcoming special issue of the Journal of Embodied Research on "Ecologies of Embodiment” we invite contributions that explore how the experience of embodiment is embedded within the larger body of the earth. We call for works that weave threads between somatic, audiovisual and textual ways of knowing.
