[csaa-forum] CFP: The somatechnics of COVID-19

[Randell-Moon, Holly]

Dear CSAA Colleagues,


Please see below a call for paper for Somatechnics: Journal of Bodies - Technology - Power.


We are also looking for a couple of articles for the next general issue, these can be on any topic related to somatechnics.


Kind regards,

Holly.


The somatechnics of COVID-19

Somatechnics is an approach to corporeality which considers it as always already bound up with a variety of technologies, techniques, and technics. Somatechnics enables an examination of the lived experiences engendered within a given context, and the effects that technologies, technés, and techniques have on embodiment, subjectivity, and sociality. Current COVID-19 exigencies constitute and are constituted by a number of somatechnologies relating to the flows of inter-subjective and trans-corporeal matter, the somatechnics of social categorizations which designate some subjects and matter safe or unsafe, and the utilization of a range of technologies to conduct bodies for work, leisure, and education in a pandemic. The somatechnics of race and whiteness in fostering knowledge of public comportment, community behaviour, emotion and affect as well as policing and security have particular critical purchase at present. The biopolitics and necropolitics of economy and calculation have also been technologised in various ways throughout the pandemic rendering the somatechnics of COVID-19 asymmetrical rather than equalizing.

Somatechnics: Journal of Bodies – Technologies – Power is calling for short pieces that examine and explicate the somatechnics of COVID-19. The first call for the 2,500-4,000w pieces are due January 24th. Pieces will be subject to editorial review. We understand that there is an unequal burden of care and work being experienced by thinkers and activists at present. The inclusion of short pieces on the current pandemic is intended as an opportunity to collect and publicise critical reflection of the present moment within a less onerous publication process. The editorial team will also send out further calls prior to the publication of issues over the coming months to enable further opportunity for critique. We encourage interested authors to get in touch with the editors if they are interested in submitting.

Please contact the co-editor, Dr. Holly Randell-Moon, if you're interested in submitting: hrandell-moon at csu.edu.au
