CFP: The Situated Body: A Special Issue of Janus Head (3/1/06; journal issue)
Janus Head. A Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Continental Philosophy,
Literature, Phenomenological Psychology and the Arts
CALL FOR PAPERS
JANUS HEAD 9.2 (Winter 2006/2007) - Special Issue
TOPIC: The situated body
Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2006.
Guest Editor: Shaun Gallagher (University of Central Florida)
In recent phenomenological and analytic philosophy, as well as in the
cognitive sciences, emphasis has been given to embodiment. Concepts of
embodied, enactive, and situated cognition have been developed. This special
issue of Janus Head would like to explore questions about how the body is
situated in both physical and social environments. What various ways can we
characterize a situated body, and how does situatedness affect (or effect)
perception, feeling, and cognition more generally? We especially encourage
interdisciplinary approaches to these questions, including perspectives
informed by phenomenology, philosophy of mind, neuroscience, Gibsonian and
developmental psychologies, and discussions of self, the experience of
others, narrative, metaphor, architecture, etc.
We are also soliciting poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art
that, in some way or other, address the topic of "the situated body."
CRITERIA FOR ESSAYS: Submissions should be no longer than 10,000 words. Works
should be typed and double-spaced. Format requirements: APA or MLA styles
