The ongoing—and now significantly escalated—genocide of Palestinian peoples by the Israeli government has been uniquely, painfully, and steadfastly documented and shared for far-flung viewers to instantaneously bear witness to atrocities that might otherwise remain unfathomable to the international community. Palestinian peoples have been recording their own intensified annihilation in a brave, painstaking, persistent, and not-always-intentional manner.

Editors’ Introduction

Philosophy and its Form

Throughout its history, philosophy has appeared in myriad forms: Plato’s dialogues; Montaigne’s Essais; Nietzsche’s aphorisms; Rosa Luxemburg’s Public Lectures; Simone de Beauvoir’s journalism, travelogs, and novels; Aimé Césaire’s dramas; and Fred Moten’s poetry collections. This is before we recognize the variety of styles employed by philosophers within more traditional essay forms: Benjamin’s critical biographies of Baudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.

Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

Call for Papers

During our sixth annual online event, we will discuss 'making, remaking, and limitations' in festive, celebratory, and ritual cultures. Our questions are: How and why do people continue to make and remake culture? In what ways do they experience limitations when making and remaking culture, if any? What is the significance of the making and remaking of culture and whom is it for?
