PhænEx is an electronic peer-reviewed journal affiliated with the Canadian-based Society for Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Culture (http://eptc-tcep.net).

Special Topic Issue : Faces of Eros

Eros plays a central role in Western thought. In the philosophical and spiritual traditions, it usually refers to physical love and desire. Eros is a recurring character in the pre-Socratic cosmogonies, and it is the main impulse of the philosophical quest for truth in Plato’s Phaedrus. In the Symposium, Plato also unveils its fundamental ambiguity as half divine and half human, where the desire to merge the opposing sides involves beauty and ugliness, profusion and need. Eros is at the intersection of gift and possession, of radical openness and selfish desire, of interested disinterest and mystical transport, mixing clairvoyance and blindness. Thanks to the manifold nuances of the erotic-sensuous genius that fascinated Kierkegaard, eroticism both produces and dissolves several dimensions of human existence, sociality, understanding, and speech.  This Special Topics issue of PhænEx wishes to give a new impulse to philosophical reflections on this fundamental and ambiguous phenomenon, following an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection of phenomenology, post-structuralism, and social sciences (psychology, sociology, sexology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.).

Vol 12, no 1 (Spring-Summer 2017;printemps-été 2017)

PhænEx est une revue bilingue évaluée par les pairs et publiée par la société Théorie et culture existentialistes et phénoménologiques (TCEP) (http://eptc-tcep.net). Elle se veut un forum interdisciplinaire pour la recherche sur les thèmes et les problèmes relevant de l’existentialisme et de la phénoménologie au sens large.

Numéro thématique : Figures de l’Éros

Eros exprime traditionnellement l’amour dans sa dimension sensuelle et désirante. Il a toujours occupé une place privilégiée dans la pensée occidentale : protagoniste des cosmogonies présocratiques, Eros devient, dans le Phèdre de Platon, le moteur du savoir philosophique, alors que le Banquet décèle son ambiguïté fondamentale : pris entre le divin et l’humain, ce désir d’union avec l’autre participe de la beauté et de la laideur, de l’abondance et du besoin. Eros est situé à la confluence du don et de la possession, de l’ouverture à l’autre et du désir égoïste, du désintérêt intéressé et d’un transport mystique qui se lit à la fois comme clairvoyance et comme aveuglement. Par les gradations de la génialité sensuelle qui avait fasciné Kierkegaard, l’érotisme produit et en même temps dissout des dimensions entières de l’existence, de la socialité, de la compréhension et de la parole humaines. Ce numéro thématique de la revue PhaenEx souhaite donner une impulsion nouvelle à la réflexion sur cette ambivalence fondamentale, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire au croisement de la phénoménologie, du poststructuralisme et des sciences sociales (psychologie, sociologie, sexologie, anthropologie, linguistique, etc.).

Sloth-  Animals and Society Journal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sloth: A Journal of Emerging Voices in Human-Animal Studies

The ASI has created this journal for undergraduate students and recent graduate students to publish their papers, book and film reviews, and other work.

Sloth is an online bi-annual journal that publishes international, multi-disciplinary writing by undergraduate students and recent (within three years) graduates that deals with human/non-human animal relationships from the perspectives of the social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences. Sloth showcases the important and innovative contributions of undergraduates, giving those who are interested in human/non-human animal relationships a way to contribute to and engage with the field, as well as an opportunity to build their skills, knowledge, and resumes in anticipation of their graduate school careers.

Sloth is a refereed and selective journal. All articles submitted to Sloth pass through a four-stage peer review and revision process: (1) the article is initially reviewed by either the humanities or social science editor of Sloth; (2) if it is judged to be potentially publishable, then the article is sent to two reviewers; (3) if the outside reviews are positive, the student author will be asked to revise the article for publication; (4) the article will go through a final copy editing stage, if needed.

Sloth takes its name from arboreal animals native to Central and South America known for their relatively slow, careful movements. Because of their unhurried nature, sloths are often stereotyped as dull-witted, sluggish, and lazy; the animal was named, in fact, after one of the seven deadly sins. Yet the deliberate movements of sloths are a beneficial adaptation, making them very successful animals in the rainforest environment. By conserving energy, sloths have survived while other animals have gone extinct. A salute to these and other misunderstood creatures, Sloth encourages our contributors to think and write purposefully about the animals-individuals and species-with whom we share this planet and to engage critically and creatively with more-than-human ways of being in the world.

“Sloths have no right to be living on this earth, but they would be fitting inhabitants of Mars, whose year is over six hundred days long.” William Beebe (1926)

Societies – Special Issue on Animals

societies

Extended Deadline: October 31, 2014

Special Topics Issue of Societies: Animal Relations

Societies is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of sociology published quarterly online by MDPI.

For this special topics issue on Animal Relations, Societies seeks articles that theorize particular types of relations between humans and nonhuman animals, for instance companion relations, relations between urban humans and feral animals, hunter-prey relations, scientist-test subject relations, sexual relations, and alimentary relations.

Because one of the primary ways that humans interact with nonhuman animals today is by eating them, we are particularly interested in articles that address the ways that humans relate to nonhuman animals as food, and what processes enable us to see them as such.

Food Studies scholars have demonstrated the significance of what we eat to identities and processes of subjectification, while social and political theorists have argued for the need to think about subjectivity relationally.

Bringing together these strands of thought, we encourage authors to submit articles that consider animal foods in terms of relationships and relational subectivity.

How do our diets and alimentary practices involve relationships with others (human and nonhuman animals in the food industry, food providers, servers and cooks)?

How do we relate to ourselves as dieters or eaters? How is food a factor in our relationship choices (e.g. vegan sexuality, changing—or not changing—our diets due to relationships)?

How should we theorize the practices of cooking and eating with others, and eating the cuisines of others (e.g. postcolonial concerns)?

How do people engaging in counter-cultural alimentary practices (e.g. veganism) negotiate relationships with others who do not engage in these dietary regimes?

We welcome submissions that engage with these or any other topics involving the theme of animal relations.

Extended Deadline: October 31, 2014

Submission Guidelines:

Please follow the instructions for submitting your paper on-line that are found on the Societies journal website: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/societies

This issue is edited by Bryan Hogeveen, Kelly Struthers Montford, and Chloë Taylor of the University of Alberta.
