Editor-in-Chief: Martin Ovens

This international, peer-reviewed journal seeks to encourage and promote research in non-western and cross-cultural philosophy. This may include scholarship typically identified, defined or characterised as comparative philosophy, intercultural philosophy or global philosophy. In addition, the journal offers opportunities to publish research that explores or analyses relations between philosophy, culture and dialogue. In this way Culture and Dialogue provides a forum for scholars in many subfields of philosophical studies.

The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale (I19) seeks to publish the best scholarship on the century that was, in many ways, the time period in which the modern genres of science fiction and fantasy began, and in which the academic study of fairy tale and folklore has its roots.

In these turbulent times of global conflict and wars, and with the world witnessing human rights violations, scholars and individuals alike are grappling with the evolving definitions of fundamental issues such as human rights, international law, justice, and community peaceful coexistence. The crises challenge long-held assumptions on the so- called post-colonialist discourses, neocolonialism, systemic oppression, and cultural conflict, especially in transnational and diasporic encounters. Images of destruction and the continuous lurking waves of international sociopolitical plights inflicting the world raise urgent ethical questions that call upon the humanities to critically engage with these contemporary struggles of the human experience.

In 1892, the satirical magazine Moonshine published “The Commission on Ghosts,” a mock-article recounting the “first sitting” of the Society for General Psychology’s Royal Commission on spirits. Those present are “The Chairman, the Editor of Light, Mrs. Annie Besant, Miss Florence Marryat, Mr. W. Eglinton, Mr. Dawson Rogers, Mr. C. N. Williamson, and Mr. W. T. Stead” (315). Each member was a public supporter/purveyor of spiritualist belief at the fin de siècle.

Philip Roth Studies invites submissions for an upcoming Special Issue titled “Haunted Roth.”  A variety of “ghosts” influence and worry Roth and his narrators, manifesting as literary idols and antecedents, lost loved ones, and lingering memories, as well as larger specters of historical trauma and strife. Roth’s protagonists are haunted by emotional and psychological struggles, such as anxiety, fear, and guilt, and physiological illness and pain, and by the prospect of mortality–death itself being one of the central phantoms of Roth’s later works. In The Counterlife, Roth suggests that the idea of haunting is tied to imagination, creativity, and the very act of writing.
