Details

Dear friends, colleagues, and students, 

We are excited to announce the Call for Papers for the third issue of the NEW BENJAMIN STUDIES yearbook, centred around the theme “Walter Benjamin in Times of Crisis”.

The editorial collective of NBS is pleased to welcome Anna Migliorini (Florence) and Ana María Miranda Mora (Utrecht) as guest editors for the issue. 

For the third issue, we invite contributions of up to 8,000 words that discuss Benjamin’s thought figures in light of the global developments and grievances, the struggles they bring about, as well as the possibilities they open for resistance and change. We strongly encourage submissions from interdisciplinary perspectives and non-Western intellectual and cultural contexts.

Please submit articles for consideration to [email protected] by January 31, 2026. All submissions will undergo blind peer review, and authors are requested to adhere to the style sheet provided on the NEW BENJAMIN STUDIES website.  

We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to share this call with anyone who might be interested.

Best wishes, 

Ana María Miranda Mora and Anna Migliorini
