Call for Book Chapters: “The Senses and Memory”

Vernon Press invites book chapters for an edited volume on the subject of “The Senses and Memory.”

In the field of sensory studies, the role of memory in sensory perceptions has always been a central preoccupation. From smell’s “Proust effect” to music’s ability to improve memory and mood, the senses are processed in the brain in particular ways that highlight the strong link between remembering and sensing the world. Likewise, the senses work in tandem, through synesthesia, to evoke feelings and sensations of a past event. The body plays a central role in navigating the world, and the senses provide routes to past, at times forgotten, memories.

From the 1200s to 1600s, Stoicism was the antique philosophy that spread most rapidly in Europe. Reborn of secular tradition in cities where culture and politics were linked, classical literature, particularly that of Seneca, served as socio-political model. According to Ronald Witt, Padua’s literary legacy for example was an “eloquence without a conscience,” relying more upon Senecan Stoicism than Christian canon. The tragedies of Seneca would impact Renaissance drama, from Mussato’s Ecernis to both France and England. Oft-copied works of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Plutarch, and Diogenes Laertius, among others, drove Stoicismas the principal of moral thought — from Machiavelli to Erasmus to Montaigne and Muret to Lipsius.

Digital Defoe: Studies in Defoe and His Contemporaries welcomes articles exploring any area relating to Defoe and/or his contemporaries (broadly conceived).

This collection focuses on the cultural, global, political, and social narratives of future space(s).

We suggest that critiques of narratives and discourses about digital and virtual spaces,

artificial intelligence, space exploration, and even the colonization of space and planets can

provide needed insights about global futures, especially as they inform how we ought to and who

ought to live in the present with environmental destruction, information capitalism,

neoliberalism, and the remaining infrastructures of colonialism. The works here complicate the

 Voyages: Traversing the White Space

Deadline: May 21, 2023, 11:59 pm EST

Pivot magazine would like to invite you all to share your work! We are so excited to share that the theme for our 2023 edition is Voyages: Traversing the White Space. 

Approximately one year ago, on May 2, 2022, a draft decision leaked from the US Supreme Court confirmed what many had feared: that the highest US court was set to overturn the 1973 decision Roe vs. Wade and roll back protections governing women’s rights. Almost immediately after, appointment books and clinics began to close in multiple US states. This situation was far from isolated; in the U.K., for example, pandemic gains for women in access to early at-home abortion rolled back on August 29th, 2022. As these and other examples from around the world demonstrate, the present moment appears to be one of regression and regulation.

Ranajit Guha and the Global South

Kairos Special Issue 8 (2) 2024

Ranajit Guha, the figure behind the Subaltern Studies Collective completed hundred

years last year. This commemorative issue of Kairos proposes to critically engage

with his ideas and seminal contribution as a thinker from the Global South.

Although Guha started off as an academic saboteur within the field of Indian

historiography, his radical questioning of elitism characteristic of political, cultural

and sociological understanding of Indian society radically redirected us to ‘the small
