Journal for philosophy and cultural studies Topos published by the European Humanities University (Vilnius) welcomes submissions for publication. A special topic of the next issue is “Spatial Turn” in Contemporary Social Sciences and Humanities.
Guest editors: Yuliya Biedash and Siarhei Liubimau
The aim of this issue is to analyze causes and consequences of “spatial turn” observed in social sciences and humanities over last decades. Why does the necessity to revise traditionally established notions of space (and spatial configurations like city, border, home, homeland, workspace, spatial identity, etc.) emerge in various research fields? Is it possible to talk about the rise of new research paradigms, which enable adequate depiction, and diagnosis of currently lived socio-spatial transformations?
The thematic cluster of the issue includes the following topics:
- the social dimension of space;
- body – media – space;
- space and power;
- urban spaces;
- space and globalization.
Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2011
Manuscripts should be addressed to: journal.topos@ehu.lt and yuliya.biedash@ehu.lt
Contributions can be presented in English, German, French, Russian and Belarusian. They should not exceed 40.000 characters for articles and 20.000 characters for reviews.
