*CALL for PAPERS*

(7.2) Call for Papers Special Topic: Phenomenology, Affect, and Emotion (Fall/Winter 2012).

Lead Editors: Ami Harbin (amiharbin@dal.ca) and Lisa Guenther (lisa.guenther@vanderbilt.edu)

Papers dealing with the topic of Phenomenology, Affect, and Emotion are invited for publication review for the Fall/Winter 2012 issue of PhaenEx: Journal of Existential and Phenomenological Theory and Culture. Submissions should be made on line at http://www.phaenex.uwindsor.ca by April 1, 2012.

Please contact the lead editors directly with any questions regarding submissions. PhaenEx publishes in both French and English. [La version française suit.] All submissions will be subject to double anonymous peer review.

Possible paper topics include:

- Critical discussions of phenomenological accounts of affect and/or emotion in the work of Heidegger, Sartre, Beauvoir, Levinas, Fanon, Merleau-Ponty, Scheler, Solomon, Tomkins and others. What are the possibilities for phenomenological engagements with Deleuze’s theory of affect, or Deleuzian engagements with phenomenological approaches to affect?

-Original phenomenological accounts of affects such as anxiety, shame, joy, anger, lust, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust, fatigue, and so forth.

- Broader philosophical reflections on the significance of affect and emotion: To what extent are affects and emotions individual or collective? How do affect and emotion relate to expression and action? In what particular ways do phenomenological approaches enrich our understanding of what emotions do and motivate? What are the temporal dimensions of affect and emotion, and how do these shape our experience of temporality as such? How do affects and emotions intersect with and structure physical and social spaces?

- Engagements with the literature on phenomenological psychology: What is the role of affect in schizophrenia, depression, mania, and other psychiatric disorders (as discussed, for example, in the work of Sass, Parnas, Minkowski, and others)? What is the relation between affect, perception and cognition (for example, in the work of Gallagher, Zahavi, Dreyfus, Prinz, De Sousa, Goldie and others who are working to bridge the gap between phenomenology and cognitive science)?

- Engagements with recent literature on affect in literary studies, cultural studies, gender studies and other disciplines, such as work by Lauren Berlant, Sara Ahmed, Teresa Brennan, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Sandra Bartky and others.

- Explorations of the politics of affect: How do affect and emotion shape the political landscape in specific political contexts, such as the War on Terror, the “Arab Spring,” the politics of the hijab, and recent protests in Europe and the US against economic restructuring? What role does affect play in racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and other forms of oppression?

(7.2) Appel à contributions : La phénoménologie et les émotions (automne/hiver 2012).

Responsables du numéro : Ami Harbin (amiharbin@dal.ca) et Lisa Guenther (lisa.guenther@vanderbilt.edu)

PhaenEx. Revue de théorie et culture existentialistes et phénoménologiques invite la soumission de textes pour le numéro d’automne-hiver 2012. Ce numéro thématique cherche à rassembler des articles touchant à la phénoménologie et aux émotions.

La discussion pourra porter, par exemple, sur le rapport entre l’approche deleuzienne des émotions et celle de la phénoménologie.

- Toute discussion ou exposition originales touchant des émotions particulières, dont l’anxiété, la honte, la joie, la colère, la concupiscence ou la lascivité, la tristesse, la peur, la surprise, le dégoût, etc. Quels sont les aspects « temporels » qui caractérisent l’affectivité; comment et en quoi l’affectivité influence- t-elle le sens temporel? Enfin, quel rôle les émotions jouent-elles dans la modification et l’influence des espaces sociaux et physiques?

-La psychologie phénoménologique, par exemple quant aux questions suivantes : quels sont les rôles joués par l’affectivité dans des conditions telles que la schizophrénie, la dépression, la « manie » et d’autres conditions psychiatriques (discutées par Sass, Parnas, Minkowski et d’autres)? Comment penser les relations entre les émotions et la perception ou la cognition (quant aux recherches de Gallagher, Zahavi, Dreyfus, Prinz, De Sousa, Goldie et d’autres qui recherchent des liens entre la phénoménologie et la science cognitive)?

- Des discussions de l’affectivité par rapport aux études littéraires, aux « cultural studies », aux études du genre, etc. (voir les travaux de Lauren Berlant, Sara Ahmed, Teresa Brennan, Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray, Sara Kofman, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Sandra Bartky, et al.).

- La politique des affectes et, notamment, des discussions des émotions provenant des paysages politiques, comme la guerre contre « la terreur », le « Printemps arabe », la politique du hijab, la résistance en Europe contre le FMI et la restructuration économique, etc. Comment, enfin, discerner le sens et le rôle joué par l’affectivité dans les formations symbolico-politiques comme le racisme, le sexisme, l’« hétérosexisme », l’« ableism », etc.

*GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS*


1.    Submissions should represent original work not previously published.

2.  It is the author’s responsibility to obtain appropriate written copyright permissions for the reproduction of any copyrighted material, including images.

3.    Authors should adhere to gender-inclusive language in their manuscripts.

4.    Generally, PhaenEx will not consider publication of the same author’s work in two consecutive Open issues, although authors may submit their work to consecutive Open and Special Topics issues.

5.    Generally, scholarly articles are between 6000-9000 words in length, although exceptions can be made. Submissions that are clearly unrevised conference presentations, or which are excessively long without clear reason, will not be sent out for peer review. Authors should contact the Lead Editor(s) in advance of submission if they have questions or concerns about this requirement.


Authors are asked to comply fully with these requirements, as well as with the style requirements outlined below, and to follow the generally accepted norms of academic writing, including the provision of complete and accurate references. Failure to do so may constitute grounds for the rejection of a submission at any time during the editorial process. (PhaenEx recognizes the creative and other needs of its authors. Please write directly to the Lead Editor for permission to exceed these guidelines or the below style sheet.)


*STYLE REQUIREMENTS*

[voir lien ci- dessous pour les règles de mise en forme des textes en français]
Texts are to be saved in MS Word (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rft).  

The style requirements of PhaenEx are modeled on: Gibaldi, Joseph. MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing. 2nd ed. New York: The Modern Language Association of America, 1998.  


*Format:
1) Use font Times New Roman size 12 throughout, including all entries in both Notes (to come at the end of the text, not at the bottom of the page) and Works Cited (to come after Notes).
2) Full justification, both left and right.
3) Double-space the main text.
4) Indent the first line of each new paragraph. (Do not leave a blank space between paragraphs.)
5) Use one space (not two) after sentence punctuation.
6) Single-space notes, but place a single blank line between each separate note.
7) Single-space all items in Works Cited, but place a single blank line between each separate entry.
8) To indicate emphasis, titles, and terms in a foreign language use italics (not underlining).

*Basic Layout:
1) The title should appear at the top of the first page, centred and boldface, and be followed by one blank double-spaced line.
2) If numbered, each section heading should use Roman numerals. Whether numbered or not, each section heading should be preceded by two blank double- spaced lines, centred, and boldface.
3) If numbered, each subheading should use lower case Arabic letters enclosed in parentheses, left-justified, boldface and italicized. Leave one double-spaced return between Section heading and sub-heading, and the same between sub-heading and text (i.e. please do not leave any
extra blank lines between heading and subheading, or between subheading and text).
4) Notes should be assembled at the end of the text (not the bottom of each page). They should be headed by the unnumbered section heading
"Notes," which should be centred, boldface, set off from the preceding paragraph by one blank double-spaced line (i.e. two strokes of the “return” key should follow the punctuation of the final paragraph).
5) A list of works cited in the text should come after the final note. It should be headed by the unnumbered section heading "Works Cited," which should be centred, boldface, set off from the last line of the last note by one blank double-spaced line (i.e. two strokes of the “return” key should follow the punctuation of the final note).
6) If using an epigraph, each line of the epigraph text should be indented to one tab, left-justified and italicized. Attribution of the epigraph should follow standard MLA parenthetical citation.

*Quotations:
1) Quotations longer than three lines should appear without quotation marks, be single- spaced, and be block- indented once from the left margin. Enter one blank double- spaced line immediately before and after the block-indented quotation (i.e. block- indented quotations should use standard double-spacing to separate the quote from the main text.)
2) Indicate all interpolations with square brackets.
3) All ellipses should be indicated with a group of three immediately consecutive dots, preceded and followed by a single space. Ellipses indicating excluded text should not be placed in brackets.

*Quotation marks and punctuation:
1) Use double quotation marks for first order quotations of less than three lines and integrate them in the text. Use single quotation marks for quotations within quotations.
2) Final punctuation goes inside quotation marks except when followed by a parenthetical citation. Exception: Block quotations should be punctuated as if they were normal sentences and parenthetical citation should follow one space after the punctuation.
3) When quotation marks are followed by a parenthetical citation, final punctuation is placed after the parentheses. Exception: when the quoted text ends with a question or exclamation mark, place the question or exclamation mark inside the quotation marks and place a period after the closing parenthesis.
4) Semicolons, exclamation marks, and question marks that are not part of the quoted material should be placed outside quotation marks.
5) “Scare quotes” should be avoided if possible, although may be appropriate to denote contested terminology. When used, please use double quote marks (unless they appear within quotations as second-order quotes, where single quote marks should then be used.)
6) In text em-dashes should be long, with no space between the dashes and the words on either side. (Most word processors automatically convert to this format if you type a word followed immediately by two dashes followed immediately by the next word and then a space.)7) Please use serial commas (e.g. "peace, order, and good governance").
8) Leave one space (not two) following punctuation between sentences.

*Use of foreign language words and quotations:
1) Quotations should be, where possible, translated into the language of the article using an official translation (and thus appropriately cited). Where no official translation is available, the author’s translation should be followed by a parenthetical note: (author’s trans.).  This should be accompanied by an endnote that presents the translated text in its original language.
2) Where, for good reason, the original language of the quotation or word is kept in the main body of the article, single words or phrases should be italicized. Sentences and quotes should use format and punctuation guidelines of the article’s main language, rather than those of the foreign language.

*Parenthetical Citations:
1) MLA style uses in-text, parenthetical citations together with a Works Cited list at the end. The goal of parenthetical citation is (a) to provide immediate citation upon reading each specific passage in need of citation, (b) to indicate precisely the relevant item in Works Cited, and (c) to be as brief as possible.
2) When only one of the works of a particular author needs to be cited, citation appears as (last name page number), with no comma between the name and the page number. If more than one of the works of a particular author needs to be cited, citation appears as (last name, shortened book title in italics page number) OR (last name, “shortened article title within quotation marks” page number), with a comma between name and shortened title only. However, if (a) the author’s name and/or specific work is mentioned explicitly in leading sentences such that it is clear which text is being referred to in Works Cited, or if (b) it is clearly understood that the citation is the same as the immediately preceding citation, then the citation should be reduced to (page number). This replaces the need for ibid., an abbreviation which should not be used.
3) Parenthetical citations may also be used for merely supporting material, e.g., (see Smith). Full references are to be provided in Works Cited.

*Notes:
1) Notes appear in the body of the text in superscript and as consecutive, Arabic numerals.
2) Numbers appear in the Notes section also in superscript.
3) In the body of the text, superscript notes appear:
(a) outside punctuation, when no quotation marks or parenthetical citations are used, e.g., … lovers seek solitude.1

(b) outside closing quotation marks, when no parenthetical citation appears, e.g., “… lovers seek solitude.”1

(c) outside punctuation that follows the parenthetical citation, e.g., “… lovers seek solitude” (Sartre 273).1

4) Follow MLA, parenthetical citation style for all quotations and references in the notes themselves. Full citations should appear only in the Works Cited list. For example: For a further discussion of this point, see Detmer (21-22).

*Works Cited:
1) Book paradigm:
Sartre, Jean-Paul. Being and Nothingness: A Phenomenological Essay on Ontology. Trans. Hazel Barnes. New York: Washington Square Press, 1956.

2) Article paradigm:
Simons, Margaret. “Two Interviews with Simone de Beauvoir.” Hypatia 3, no. 3 (1989): 11-27.

3) Chapter/Article in Book paradigm:
Gyllenhammer, Paul. “The Question of (In)Tolerance in Heidegger’s Notion of World- Disclosure.” Issues in Interpretation Theory. Ed. Pol Vandevelde. Milwaukee: Marquette University Press, 2006. 167-198.

4) Film paradigm:
Macbeth. Dir. Roman Polanski. Perf. Jon Finch, Francesca Annis, and Nicholas Selby. 1971. Columbia, 2002. DVD.

Please note: (a) When more than one work is used by the same author, subsequent references in Works Cited should include three combined dashes (an “em-dash”), followed by a period, in place of the name. (b) Inclusive page numbers must follow journal and chapter entries in the Works Cited list.

*Citing Online Sources (adapted from www.dianahacker.com):

1) MLA does not require a Web address (URL) in citations for online sources.2) In general, citations should end by indicating the medium (i.e. Web) and the date the material was accessed (date Month year)3) MLA style calls for a publisher or sponsor for most online sources. If a source has no publisher, use the abbreviation "N.p." (no publisher). If there is no date of publication or update, use the abbreviation "N.d" (for no date), after the publisher/sponsor position. For an article in an online scholarly journal or an article from a database, give page numbers if they are available; if they are not, use the abbreviation "n. pag."4) If an author or editor is unknown, begin the citation with the title.
