CFP: La naissance de Michel Foucault | Frontier Ethics: A Journal of Critical Humanities

Frontier Ethics: A Journal of Critical Humanities is a new multilingual, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to critical inquiry at the intersections of philosophy, history, science and technology studies, and the politics of life. We publish original research in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

FE takes as its starting point the conviction that the most urgent questions of our time — about bodies, borders, medicine, reproduction, race, coloniality, and the governance of life — demand forms of thinking that move across disciplinary and linguistic boundaries. We welcome work that is theoretically ambitious, historically grounded, and politically engaged.

Scope

We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

• Biopolitics, bioethics, and the politics of health and medicine
• Feminist theory, queer theory, and the philosophy of sex and gender
• Postcolonial and decolonial thought
• Science and technology studies (STS)
• History of medicine, psychiatry, and the life sciences
• Critical disability studies
• Foucault studies and genealogies of power
• Vulnerability, recognition, and social justice
• East Asian intellectual and cultural history
• Philosophy of race and critical race theory
• Environmental humanities and multispecies ethics

Inaugural Special Issue: La naissance de Michel Foucault — Foucault at 100

To mark the centenary of Michel Foucault's birth, FE's inaugural issue will be a special themed collection exploring the afterlives, receptions, and continuing provocations of Foucault's thought across Asia and the world. We particularly welcome contributions that engage Foucault's work from non-European contexts, address the late lectures and unpublished seminars, or develop new genealogical approaches to contemporary problems.
