Non-Western thought is a term that has been used in the last decade, 
mainly in the field of political thought and international relations, 
aiming to convey traditions of thought that do not belong to Western and 
European philosophical canons. More than a geographical delimitation, 
non-Western thought aims at describing structures of thought born 
outside the European philosophical context. With this issue, we intend 
to integrate these traditions within the field of film and philosophy, 
broadening the very term ‘philosophy’ to incorporate non-Western rooted 
forms of thinking. These include the rich thought traditions of Asia, 
Africa and Native America, as well as the rest of the world. The way 
these traditions produce and are embedded in specific films or film 
theories can help us overcome the hegemony of Western worldviews, 
integrating the rich diversity of human thought in the field of cinema.

This issue will privilege essays that, through cinema, bring to light 
non-Western traditions of thought on metaphysics, mythology, 
secularisation, social and political issues, technology, humans and 
non-human relationships, nature and the cosmos, the planet, human 
agency, existence, language, aesthetics, epistemology, moral, ethics, 
human knowledge, and art.

The themes include, but are not limited to:

  * Film and Daoism
  * Film and Confucianism
  * Film and Shintoism
  * Film and Hinduism
  * Film and Buddhism
  * Film and Zoroastrianism
  * Film and Islam
  *   Film and Yoruba thinking
  * Film and Ethiopian philosophy
  * Film and African, Asian, Aboriginal, or native American mythologies
    and cosmogonies.

Abstract proposals (max. 500 words) should be sent to Patrícia Castello 
Branco ((pscbranco /at/ fcsh.unl.pt) <mailto:(pscbranco /at/ fcsh.unl.pt)>)

Deadline: February 15th, 2021.

Prospective authors should submit a short CV along with the abstract. A 
selection of authors will be invited to submit full papers according to 
the journal’s guidelines. Acceptance of the abstract does not guarantee 
publication, since all papers will be subjected to double blind 
peer-review.  Cinema requires no payment from the authors. For further 
information or questions about the issue, please contact the editor.

Cinema also invites submissions to its other sections: Interviews, 
Conference Reports and Book Reviews.
