Call for manuscript proposals │Research / Art / Writing, a new series with Brill

March 7, 2022Call for Papers

Research / Art / Writing (RAW) aims to promote critical, discursive, and creative engagement with global contemporary art and visual cultures.

RAW invites scholarly and artistic researchers to pursue insights into art’s multiple, including indirect, efficacies. The book series […]

To resist—from its most modest quotidian expression to large-scale community action—implies action. To resist might be to stand one’s ground and refuse to act as one is being told one must. Or to be unruly, to break the rules, to experiment and to push the boundaries. We might characterise resistance as that revolutionary impulse that Audre Lorde writes about, […]

Many primordial myths associate the appearance of light and the banishment of darkness with the evolution of life and societies. Likewise, subsequent developments in philosophy and […]
