Call for Abstracts, Special Issue on Pacifism

Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities

Edited by John Kinsella and Nicholas Birns

Abstract of c. 500 words by the end of May 2024. For publication April 2025. See below for further details.

The issue is concerned with pacifism as both a mode of conceptualising and also interacting with the world. Non-violence is a characteristic of various spiritual and secular modes of both maintaining peace and also enacting conflict resolution, and this issue will have a strong focus on these agencies, but further, pacifism as a system of perceiving and interacting with the world, as a ‘complete’ philosophy will be considered.

Questions around pacifism as a human to human belief, or as a more encompassing belief in non-violence to all animal life will be considered. Further, is violence against the inanimate merely an issue of degrees, or is all change that operates with violent intentionality a contravening of pacifist ideals. The issue is interested in definitions of violence beyond the human and whether or not a pacifism that resists extinction, resists erasure, resists speciesism can coincide with non-violence in human relations.

In opposing war is the conscientious objector always a pacifist or are reasons more a case by case and context-driven issue? What are the special as well as personal parameters of pacifism? Can there be sustainable pacifist communities that are secular as well as the more historically defined ‘spiritual’? A pacifist will never see any war as being just, but we are interested in how attempts to justify violence lead to a faux politics of peace: violent acts to protect the peace, the issue of deterrence and balance of power. We are not interested in justifications of these positions, but rather pacifist arguments or argument drawing on pacifist knowledges that counter these arguments. There are plenty of affirmations for violence out there, and this issue is not about those.

We are particularly interested in work about those who have made non-violent choices to their social detriment, essays on recording or analysing anti-militarism, documents of non-violent anti-nuclear activism, considerations of modes of protest against the violence of the state, military, police, sporting (including crowd violence) or corporate bodies. Pacifism and environmental protest is a specific focus. And an examination of witness and reportage is another focus.

For example, this issue strongly orientates against colonialism and adopts a critical approach to the capitalist state, but (or and!) in doing so seeks pacifist models for restoring dignity and rights to the oppressed and compensating where possible for these vast wrongs. This issue is definitively anti-racist, but (and) seeks pacifist modes for redressing and alleviating these wrongs. And the same applies to all injustice of identity, gender, spiritual belief. How are inequities and crimes of the past and present addressed in pacifist ways? How can there be an effective pacifist resistance?

Rejecting Frantz Fanon’s notion that the colonised can only gain liberty and justice out of the ‘rotting co**se of the settler’, this issue nonetheless maintains that settler culture must be subject to critique. How is this achieved? These are the questions that I hope will be answered in the issue.

We welcome rereadings of historic texts, challenges to conventions of reading history, negotiations of political and ethical texts, finding a way through texts that are both violent and non-violent to resolve non-violent modes and methods. We would welcome personal memoirs of pacifist living, of alleviations of violence, and of methods for reducing the chance of violence in community and ‘conflict’ situations. This issue seeks to enact a mutual aid via peace.

DERRIDA: Ethics in Deconstruction

Edited by Barry Stocker

For publication in 2024, so marking the 20th anniversary of his death, a major double-issue collection (c. 160,000 words) on Jacques Derrida, to be published both as an issue of Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities (Routledge) and as a book in the Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities book series (Routledge).

Deconstruction is always ethical, as it is always concerned with the other. Across Derrida’s development, the role of the other is always intertwined with the place of death, as otherness refers to the finitude of the self. The possibility of my death is part of what makes the meaning of my communication dependent on the other. Communication depends on the finitude in which the self cannot make meaning instantly present to the other, or even to itself. The desire to communicate is tied up with the desire for instant communication of meaning, which is the desire for a possibility expressed in the idea of the divine. Both finite life and the divine absolute are unavoidable in the possibility of communication, which are both ethically conditioned and related to death, frustrating desires for sovereignty over meaning and communication. This emerges in Derrida’s early work on phenomenology and structuralism. The theme of death comes back in later lectures on the death penalty and where sovereignty is discussed in relation to animality, establishing Derrida’s relations with biopolitics. The status of speech and writing in Derrida is always tied up with the natural and the social, life and death, origin and repetition. The natural/social distinction is questioned in an interrogation of the distinction between life and its doubling as death. Earliest explicit encounters with ethics include Lévinas and the related issues of Jewish law, following on from the ethical aspects Husserl suggested for phenomenology towards the end of his life. Later discussions engage with Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Patočka, and Aristotle amongst others. There are later ethical discussions of death, giving, love, and responsibility, with regard to the impossible conditions of their possibility. Aporia of this kind are shown to govern friendship, hospitality and law. These aporia inform Derrida’s suggestion that ‘deconstruction is justice’, or at least that justice is an aspect of deconstruction. In Derrida, questions of ethics flow into the idea of Europe, the possibility of religion, the performative aspects of language, the place of war and death in the language of literary writing, Heidegger’s politics of spirit, theories of right in Hegel, political sovereignty, democracy as ideal, metaphysics and structure as death. Recent work on deconstruction has particularly addressed these issues with regard to the status of animals, foundations of law, the death penalty, psychoanalysis, and European politics. New research is emerging on the anthropocene and deconstruction.

Papers are invited which look at these, and related, topics in Derrida, or which explore other ethical issues, in the context of current debates, Derrida’s dialogues with other thinkers, and comparison with writers across the history of philosophy, and the editor is open to writing from all schools of philosophy, theory, and cultural criticism.

Topics may include, Derrida and:

- Biopolitics
- Political theory
- Theories of justice and law
- Major figures in European philosophy
- Wittgenstein’s ethics
- Ethics in Analytic philosophy
- History of ethics
- Recent ethical theory
- History of moral philosophy

PHILOSOPHY WITH CLARICE LISPECTOR

Clarice Lispector’s writing takes up essential philosophical questions. Writing in her texts becomes the site of an extreme experience of what the narrator in Água Viva calls “thinking-feeling,” which eludes any preestablished method and demands endless tenaciousness. Thought here must do without the certainties of conventional wisdom, even without the full support of meaning and grammatical structure, all while remaining fully sensitive to whatever precipitates thought. Take, for instance, Martim, who finds himself alone early on in A maça no escuro (1949), where he is the protagonist. Alone one day in the middle of nowhere, he loses “the precaution of understanding,” “rejects the language of the others without having even the beginning of a language of his own,” and rejoices in a “hollow, mute” feeling.[1] Precisely this precarious position and this distinctive state of suspension enable a radical thinking to occur, as receptivity to “the whole world” (31). This is an attunement that also gives rise to and sustains philosophy, even if the latter may forget it, under the sway of academic expertise in a certain canon. The motivation to do philosophy nonetheless comes from turning one’s attention to events and questions with regard to which one cannot remain external, in command, unmoved.

Clarice, as she is referred to in Brazil, was undoubtably aware of the Western philosophical canon, as some of her epigraphs, phrases, and characters’ thoughts suggest, featuring surnames such as Bergson, Nietzsche, and Spinoza. While she was and continues to be a well-recognized voice in Brazilian culture, her ideas were not predominantly received with the gravitas generally accorded to philosophers. What is most interesting about the thought at work in Clarice’s texts lies, however, in her own ways of posing questions and problems that some of these philosophers have articulated, and yet other, unprecedented ones. These are at once impossible and crucial questions of life and time, of unknowing, of difference and being, of truth, of beauty, feeling, and embodiment, of finitude, of pain, joy, loss, and love, of language and the unsayable, of cause and fate. Clarice is as rigorous as she is sui generis across the different genres and audiences she engages. The work of thinking is not some accessory in her writing that may interest a few of its readers, while a broader audience appreciates other, more approachable aspects. Rather, the operation of writing and the work with language Clarice undertakes put the resources of literature in the service of a true philosophical endeavor, if by this we understand the initially evoked extreme disposition of thought, which she invites readers to discover in terms of an ethical stance with regard to thought as a vital movement. Thus, reading Clarice’s texts entails, first of all, taking the risk of that extreme act of thought as well. This special issue invites essays that read Clarice and philosophy together, in comparative work that does not merely apply continental theories or other literary writing models to her fiction, but that instead accepts the latter’s proposed reading challenge, and the theoretical contribution it can then offer to these philosophies.

The texts of Clarice, who begins some of her late works by announcing the plunge into a space of boundless freedom, paradoxically entered into the anglophone world through a university press (Minnesota). Translations of A Paixão Segundo G.H. (The Passion According to G.H.) and Água Viva (The Stream of Life) appeared in the late 1980s, when the work of Hélène Cixous, who highly praised Clarice, was also being partially discovered, as a figure of French feminist philosophy. Clarice was often received through Cixous’ mediation, and in the context of feminist theory (Cixous, Cavarero, Kristeva, Braidotti), which is surely important, although this lens, which is not Clarice’s as such, can sometimes leave other perspectives on her work’s theoretical relevance unconsidered, for instance with regard to aesthetic experience, time, being, nothingness, and the limits of language and signification, which are far more frequently remarked in literary works by authors such as Hölderlin, Kafka, Celan, Beckett, Mallarmé, or Proust. The singularity of Clarice’s thought is, furthermore, inextricable from her unique, unorthodox treatment of the Portuguese language. More recently, her work in the anglophone world has been the object of new English translations, and of new modes of criticism. The extraordinary theoretical dimension of Clarice’s writing ought to come across strongly and in its own terms this time. It cannot do so as an object that illustrates or is put through the machinery of another philosophy; instead, it is necessary to engage with Clarice’s writing as a form of thought whose conceptual and speculative force can connect and unfold in unprecedented ways with others, especially with philosophies of difference and psychoanalytic theory. What can happen to these theories when, for instance, they hold hands with the writing voice in Água Viva (1973) to dive far into what it designates as “o atrás do pensamento” (the back of thought)? How does Clarice Lispector’s writing conceive of time and what effects does it have on its readers, and on other philosophies of time? What do the limits of meaning entail for thought? What does the effort, for instance in The Passion According to G.H. at writing life in its formless, non-humanized state do to language? And how, then, might a reader approach a highly unusual, untranslatable statement on life being/happening to oneself, such as “a vida se me é”?[2] How might the ethics in this attitude be relevant now? How do differential concepts, for instance of the neutral, of the interstice, of différance, of the nothing, of sensation, or of s*x in contemporary psychoanalysis and Lacanian philosophy find untried possibilities when they enter into conversation with Clarice’s writing? How do Clarice’s texts invite us to rethink the beautiful and the sublime? How does reading Clarice Lispector invite us to an unforeseen event of thought?

To contribute to this special issue of Angelaki, please submit a detailed abstract (800-1000 words) that offers a clear articulation of the envisioned essay to Fernanda Negrete by March 5th, 2021. Selected contributions will be notified by the end of April 2021. Completed papers of up to 7500 words are due August 31, 2021 to enter the peer review process.
