Junctures: The Journal for Thematic Dialogue

Call for Papers: Junctures Issue 24 (2024) "network"

2023-11-09

Junctures invites article submissions on matters relating to the concept of ‘network,’ which speaks to connections between phenomena variously proximate and distant, human and non-human, and across disciplines. The network might be considered in such terms as ‘assemblage,’ ‘constellation,’ and ‘ecology,’ and as a space of ontology, or a ceaseless production rather than representation of knowledge. It invokes ‘actor-network theory,’ post-humanism and the turn away from anthropocentric thinking, highlighting the extent to which human beings are not autonomous or alone in possessing agency, but immersed in fields of agentic forces. Recognition of such entanglement inevitably entails questioning judgements based on Western rationalist binaries, and this comes to the fore in responses to the rapid normalisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across many social domains, raising questions of agency, authenticity and authorship.

Published Issue 23 (2023) "inter-"

2023-02-26

In an increasingly polarised world, what is to be gained by looking anew at the spaces in-between entrenched oppositions? What alternatives can be imagined through an exploration of the spaces in-between constructs, whether disciplinary, philosophical, critical, artistic, social, political, cultural, or otherwise? What implicitly democratising and enabling impulses are at play in the fluid spaces between fixed meanings or suppositions?

Possible topics for discussion include – but are by no means limited to – the following:  Interdisciplinarity, Internationalism, Interculturalism, Intermediality, Internet and technology, and Intersectionality. Please see full Call for Papers for full details.
