The existence of a sense of contact within a particular culture remains inherently interdisciplinary and intersectional in terms of literature, the performative arts, and the social sciences. Contact essentially entails a continuity, one that consciously evolves from the preceding line of thought to facilitate the production of the interiority of further signification. As human societies evolved, diverse communities established distinct cultural, social, and literary traditions. The resultant intersections foster and foreground the ‘unconforming’, resulting in the emergence of new socio-cultural utterances.

We are seeking chapters to include in an edited book with the provisional title: Storied Citizenship: Reimagining Civic Encounters Among Children and Youth in the Post-Digital Age. This text will be an interdisciplinary, open access volume that will explore existing and emerging ideas about storied citizenship among children and youth in the post-digital age. Rather than defining citizenship or civic engagement in traditional ways, we see it as a process in which young people participate in arts-based, embodied, lived, and spatialized ways across cultural contexts.

Scope

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 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 Beaudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.
