Call for Papers - Issue Number 4 (May 2003)

THE MEANINGS OF VIOLENCE AND THE VIOLENCE OF MEANINGS

Issue number 4 of POLYLOG will deal with "violence." We invite
contributions working on violence and its meanings and contexts from a
variety of methodological, cultural, and (inter-)disciplinary
perspectives. The focus should be clearly philosophical, and we are
particularly interested in conceptual and/or phenomenological
investigations exploring significant general questions on violence (and
its co-relative terms in other languages) in novel ways. This could be
done, for example, by integrating reflections on culturally specific
contexts and backgrounds, or by referring to currently significant
socio-cultural and political contexts. We are also interested in exploring
the kinds of violence associated with the increasing control of the means
of signification, interpretation, and understanding. We welcome the use of
case studies, feeding in to an interculturally accessible discussion of
violence, and we encourage new approaches to the reflection on violence
altogether.

In this sense, issue number 4 of POLYLOG seeks to present, expose, and
explore the meanings of violence, in a manner that increases intercultural
understanding, and furthers the questioning of basic frameworks and power
structures of our everyday lives. The deadline for submission of articles
is February 15, 2003. Further details on size and format of submissions
can be obtained directly from our website at

"POLYLOG: Forum for Intercultural Philosophizing" (ISSN 1616-2943) is a
scholarly e-journal for philosophical dialogue across cultures. It appears
in English, Spanish and German at http://www.polylog.org and it focuses,
above all, on examples and methods of intercultural philosophy as well as
on methodological reflection on comparative philosophy, problems of inter-
and multi-cultural phenomena, inter-religious questions, and philosophical
work that explicitly considers its own cultural context.
