[ecrea] Somatechnics Call for Special Issue Proposals

/Somatechnics/ presents a thoroughly multi-disciplinary scholarship on 
‘the body’, providing a space for research that critically engages with 
the ethico-political implications of a wide range of practices and 
techniques. Published by Edinburgh University Press and founded in 2011, 
/Somatechnics/ has published contributions that present innovative 
examinations of the interplay between bodily being and the technological 
context in which it occurs.

The term ‘Somatechnics’ indicates an approach to corporeality which 
considers it as always already bound up with a variety of technologies, 
techniques and technics, thus enabling 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.

The journal publishes articles and special issues on topics such as the 
(soma)technics of racialization, ‘terror’, movement, spatialization, 
size(ing), reproduction, consumption, gender, medicine, information, 
gaming, film, nation, globalization, ecology, bioscience, law, 
sexuality, family, education, health, visuality and ancestry.

The journal has recently moved to a 3 issue per year publishing model 
and is keen to expand the scope of Somatechnics research this publishing 
model enables. The editors, Professor Iris van der Tuin and Dr. Holly 
Randell-Moon, are seeking Special Guest Editorship proposals on any 
aspect of Somatechnics practice and embodiment. We are particularly 
interested in special issues that focus on:


·the Somatechnics of sport

·education and the Somatechnics of pedagogy, classrooms, and learning 
technologies

·the role of popular culture as a Somatechnic

·the Somatechnics of surveillance

·social media as a Somatechnics of the self

·race as a Somatechnic

·the Somatechnics of settler colonisation
