CFP: The Atlas of the Irreverse

Open Call: The Atlas of the Irreverse

The call for our transdisciplinary publication The Atlas of the Irreverse is now open! We are looking for a variety of contributions that explore, observe and map the phenomena of irreversibility. The publication will feature, for example, artistic exploration, scientific pieces, political manifestos and philosophical discussions.

We welcome contributions from all disciplines, such as anthropology, art, biology, chemistry, gender studies, glaciology, history, medicine, music, philosophy, photography, physics, politics, psychology and many more.

• What does irreversibility look like through the lens of your expertise?
• What instances of irreversible processes are there in your field, and have there been measures or proposals to counter them?
• How is irreversibility received and perceived and which tipping-points can be identified?

We have three main classes of submission:

[1] Text-based contribution.

This includes but is not limited to: essay, dialogue, fiction, memoir, poetry.

• Maximum 30 0000 characters including spaces.
• Reference Style: Chicago footnote. References should be placed as footnotes (not as a separate bibliography). No URLS. Eg: Virginia Woolf, “Modern Fiction,” in Selected Essays, ed. David Bradshaw (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008).
• If you use equations, only use displayed equations (no in-line equations).

[2] Image-based contribution.

This could be, for example: photography, artwork, drawing, graphics, maps, cartoon.

• Minimum image size 25cm x 30cm with minimum resolution 300 dpi in TIFF or PNG.
