Call for Submissions, 2013

Deadlines: July 15 (Fall), August 31 (Winter)

Please note that our submission requirements have changed. Click here for more information.

We are pleased to invite submissions for two forthcoming issues, to be published in Fall and Winter 2013. We welcome both full-length articles (4,000-10,000 words, excluding endnotes) and Collisions (1,000-2,500 words). Collisions are brief (but well-written and thoughtful) responses to aesthetic experiences that raise philosophical questions for discussion, but that do not necessarily enact the discussion in full. More information on Collisions is available here.

Each issue will have two parts, one dedicated to a specific theme, and the other (“unthemed”) devoted to aesthetic, philosophical questions of any kind. The Editors therefore seek submissions in two categories.

(Fall and Winter) Aesthetics and philosophy (“unthemed”): This section will be devoted to philosophical matters pertaining to any aesthetic practice or experience, including but not limited to art and everyday aesthetics. Both issues will include a section of this type. If you would like your submission to be considered for the Fall issue, please get it to us by July 15, 2013. If you would prefer to be considered for the Winter issue, please send your submission by August 31, 2013.
(Fall 2013 only) Animals and aesthetics: The themed section of the Fall 2013 issue will focus on aesthetic matters relating to animals. Submissions to this section will be accepted until July 15, 2013.
(Winter 2013 only) Asceticism and poverty: The themed section of the Winter 2013 issue will explore the diverse relationships between aesthetic practices and various kinds of poverty and asceticism. Submissions to this section will be accepted until August 31, 2013.

All categories may be freely interpreted, however all submissions must engage philosophical perspectives.
