Visual image of a call for papers:
Response: Reflection and Action

A response is both an engagement and a reflection, followed by an action that confronts a question, situation, challenge or opportunity The concept of response, and the act of responding, takes on new significance in our own contemporary moment, as the ‘self’ is subjected to unprecedented connectivity and an overload of information. Responses can agree and reinforce, challenge and deconstruct, as well as modify, remould, and extend that which they reflect on. Spanning from the personal to the universal, they entwine with politics, ecology, culture, aesthetics, and beyond.

For the upcoming issue of Aigne we encourage critical and scholarly explorations on this theme. We invite submissions from across the arts, humanities, and social sciences which engage with the theme, welcoming diverse and inventive interpretations

Suggested papers could include, but are not limited to, responses and reflections on the following:

Conflict
Confrontation
Violence
Trauma
Healing
Resilience
Resistance
Postcolonialism
Imperialism
Censorship
Control
Empowerment and Gaze
Gender
Contemplation
Self-reflection
Representation
The ‘Other’ and Othering
Stereotypes
Education
Interpretation
Memory
Epistemology
Art
Belief Systems
Ecocriticism
Nature and the Natural Environment
The Built Environment
Sustainability
Social Unrest
Migration
Ethical Dilemmas
Social Responsibility
Globalisation
Artificial Intelligence
Transhumanism / Posthumanism
Dystopia / Utopia

To be considered submit the following by February 21st 2025:

250–500 word abstract of proposed article
Contact information - name, email address, and any institutional affiliation
Resume/CV for each author (in any format)
Email: aigne@ucc.ie. Title email “Abstract: Surname, Forename”
