[English] CALL FOR PAPERS
2020-08-31
Vol. 10, No. 1 (2021) Dossier “Pandemic, a year later” [Deadline for submissions December 20th, 2020]
Articles may be in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian or German.
Ekstasis: Journal of Hermeneutics and Phenomenology announces the call for papers to select unpublished articles, reviews and translations for the next issue. The Dossier “Pandemic, a year later” is an invitation to reflect on the shared experience, but each time different, that globally marked humanity in the year 2020 and that certainly will still cross us. Among countless elements experienced, we could highlight: the difference between the time of scientific investigation and the time of political actions; changing the experience of time in everyday life; the importance of science and the dangers of its denial; a diffuse experience of mourning and the notion (or lack thereof) of community; the change in public lifestyles and the experience of loneliness; fear of death and the management of one's own body; the economist vision of living and dying. These elements require thought and, perhaps, they require it in a different way from the compartmentalized studies done so far. In view of the very phenomenon of the pandemic and the transversal way that crosses our space-time horizon, in order to question it, therefore, it is urgent that our reflection accompany its transversal character. Our proposal is to think about this phenomenon from the theoretical scope of phenomenology / hermeneutics, but also beyond it. It is in this direction that Ekstasis: Journal of Hermeneutics and Phenomenology invites everyone interested in the Dossier “Pandemic, a year later”.
For a better organization of the work, we separated large thematic groups for the submission of proposals: 1) The pandemic phenomenon and existential temporality;2) The pandemic phenomenon and the experience of the body;3) The pandemic phenomenon at the time of the technique;4) The pandemic phenomenon and the place of science in our time;5) The pandemic phenomenon and political practice;6) The pandemic phenomenon and the market economy.
Best regards,Editorial Board
