CFP: Othering and Otherness in Philosophy
This special issue of SATS - Northern European Journal of Philosophy focuses on otherness and othering in philosophy. This issue explores themes around plurality, diversity, inclusion, and exclusion within philosophy. We welcome papers that focus on thematically on otherness and othering in philosophy and welcome papers that mix philosophical analysis with personal experience, and/or address the relationship between theory and praxis or experience.
Mechanisms and patterns of inclusion and exclusion can manifest in different forms and follow different logics, not always clearly visible or straightforwardly comprehensible as exclusion or othering. In this issue, we are interested in exploring some of the patterns of inclusion and exclusion found in the academic discipline of philosophy - both those already discussed, and those less widely attended to. To this end, we welcome contributions that engage with personal experiences through an analytic lens. We are also interested in the ways othering in philosophy occurs in philosophy as a discipline, not only as an aspect of the history of philosophy, or of its canonized literature, but in classrooms, faculty meetings and conferences, as well as how certain themes are othered and seen as not universal, but rather particular, and therefore as not belonging to, or being, ‘pure’ philosophy. We welcome interdisciplinary philosophical papers, and philosophical papers using empirical research, in addition to traditional philosophical works.
Some themes we are interested in:
· Othering within pedagogical contexts an othering as a pedagogical challenge
· Otherness and hierarchies within academia
· Philosophical accounts of experiences of marginalization within philosophy
· What is considered marginal philosophy
· Marginal and exclusion in the history of philosophy
· What kind of futurities can we imagine for a philosophy transformed?
We are looking for full-length academic articles written in an approachable style that explicate technical terminology. For writing and style guides see SATS instructions for authors. Contributions should be written in English and can be co-written between multiple authors.
Schedule:
The deadline for abstracts is September 30th, and we will send out decisions by October 12th. The abstract should be no more than 500 words. In addition to the abstract, please submit an author bio of no more than 100 words per author.
Full texts will be due by January 15th, and final, revised drafts on April 17th. Revisions will be sent in February, and the special issue will be published in the autumn of 2027.
For any questions about this special issue, contact the guest editors: Arwen Rosenberg-Meereboer (arwen.m...@abo.fi), L. von Lüpke (lisa.v...@abo.fi), and Salla Aldrin Salskov (salla.ald...@abo.fi). Submissions should be sent to arwen.m...@abo.fi.
