[csaa-forum] Argos Aotearoa: special issue CFP

[Misha Kavka]

CSAA members may wish to consider making a submission to the next issue of the journal Argos Aotearoa and/or have a look at the first issue (link below):

Argos Aotearoa: A Journal of Place/Politics
 Issue 02: Waste


Waste is . . . unwanted excess, or a lost opportunity. It is banished, buried, jettisoned or closed off, or made good again in the hands of another. Issue 02 of Argos Aotearoa questions how waste as material product, concept, power relation and aesthetic is produced and understood in Aotearoa. In a world already torn by what
seems to be only the beginnings of ecological and financial crisis, why do we continue to waste, to obsess over waste, to get wasted? What are the implications of the current climate of excess and indebtedness—not just for our future, but also for consideration of our pasts? How might the relationships between waste and efficiency, and waste and progress, be characterised? And as we produce more of everything—capital, data, dirt, landfill, people—what is it that we are leaving behind?

Argos is seeking submissions that develop a critique or comment on the theme of waste. Submissions may take the form of text or images, or combinations of the two, and should be no longer than 3,000 words. We welcome photo essays, illustrations, artwork, maps, cartoons, comic strips, interviews, critical-creative writing, long form journalism, works made from ‘found’ materials . . . and anything else that is printable or almost printable in journal form.

Interested parties are invited to submit a short proposal or outline (with optional writing sample) before 15 March 2015. You will be informed of the outcome by 31 March, with final copy due by mid June.

Argos Aotearoa aims to circulate writing and image-works about matters of public and political import in a way that is local, critical and accessible. We believe critical intellectual conversation should be heard in Aotearoa New Zealand, not simply published for credit in international journals for more limited and specialised audiences. Of particular interest to us is creative and critical work that fosters the public or political good of place-making, un-making, and re-orienting.
