Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Please consider applying/forward our message:
Call for papers: Affective Intimacies (Special Issue to be published in
NORA Journal in 2021
The Special Issue aims to provide a forum to rethink intimacies through the
lens of affect theories. In particular, it seeks to introduce new ways for
understanding affective intimacies and to explore what kind of potential do
affect theories provide to renew feminist debates concerning intimate
relations?
The Special Issue is planned for publication in NORA – Nordic Journal of
Feminist and Gender Research in 2021. NORA is a multi-disciplinary
international journal of feminist and gender research published by Taylor &
Francis. The Special Issue is edited by Dr. Marjo Kolehmainen, Dr. Kinneret
Lahad and Dr. Annukka Lahti.
We invite abstracts from scholars who work across the issues of affect and
intimacy, in particular within feminist and queer studies. In particular,
we seek submissions that address the embodied, affective and psychic
aspects of intimate entanglements. They may include but are not limited to
the following themes:
Affect, intimacy and power
How are gendered and sexualised vulnerabilities maintained, produced and
challenged through affective intimacies? How do affective privilege and
affective inequality materialise in intimate encounters? How to grasp
changing and processual affective power dynamics in the realm of intimate
relationships?
Collective becomings
How the affective histories of communities condition the possibilities for
intimate attachments and detachments? How can the intimate becomings be
conceptualised and empirically explored with others? How collective
affective registers foster the experience of intimacy or the lack of it?
Emerging intimacies
How affect takes part in shaping the everyday fabrics and textures of
intimate relationships? How do new technologies shape intimate
entanglements and related affective matterings? What kind of political
potential might new patterns of intimacy have?
Queering affects
How can those forms of intimacy which escape cultural recognition and
intelligibility be acknowledged? How might unpredictable and unruly affects
participate in queering intimacy? What kind of challenges do new forms of
intimate practices pose to affective research practice?
In addition to research articles, we welcome review articles, position
papers, essays and book reviews that cover the topic of the Special Issue.
If interested in submitting any of these above mentioned, please feel free
to contact the editors.
Submission Instructions for Research Articles:
Deadline for abstracts (max. 300 words): 1 December 2019 via email to the
