CFP: A Techno-Aesthetics for Contemporary Philosophy – Special Issue of Technophany

A Techno-Aesthetics for Contemporary Philosophy is a forthcoming special issue of Technophany. A Journal for Philosophy and Technology, guest edited by Mauro Carbone and Andrea Zoppis.

Starting from Gilbert Simondon’s proposal of techno-aesthetics as a possible means of “revitalising contemporary philosophy”, the special issue asks what it might mean to approach techno-aesthetics not as a specialised subfield, but as a transversal philosophical notion capable of reconfiguring questions of experience, embodiment, imagination, invention, technicity, and culture.

We welcome contributions engaging with different philosophical traditions and perspectives, including phenomenology, aesthetics, philosophy of technology, pragmatism, media theory, theories of individuation, and contemporary approaches to technical mediation.

Abstracts should be between 300 and 500 words and accompanied by a short biographical note of approximately 100 words.

Abstract deadline: 31 January 2027
Full articles: 5,000–8,000 words, in English
