*Call for Articles:Transformations without Revolutions? How Feminist and
Lgbtqi Movements Changed the World*
A special issue of Zapruder World: Transnational Journal for the History of
Social Conflicts
edited by Sabrina Marchetti, Vincenza Perilli and Elena Petricola
Zapruder World is a new online open-access journal run by the network of
activists and scholars, both academic and independent, that has gathered
since 2002 in an organization called SIM-Storie in Movimento, and publishes
the Italian journal Zapruder. This new editorial project stems from our
desire to broaden, at a global level, the scope of the organization and of
its publications. It is guided by the same principles that have inspired
SIM so far, namely direct participation, self-funding, and horizontal
decision-making.
The aim of Zapruder World is to create a wide arena in which to exchange
critical knowledge based on both individual research and collective
elaboration. The journal focuses on social conflict paying particular
attention to conflicts as movements rather than focusing on their
resolutions, so as to better connect the history of social conflicts with
current transnational cycles of protest. It therefore uses 'social
conflict' as an interpretative category rather than simply an object of
analysis, exploring it through concepts and methodologies that address the
complex interaction between the "local" and the "global". Zapruder World is
animated by an aspiration towards "global history" but intentionally leaves
its actual definition, contents, and methods open for discussion.
Along these lines, this second issue entitled "Transformations without
Revolutions" wants to discuss the kind of politics that feminist and lgbtqi
movements have created from the 1960s to the present, in their critical
approaches to the private/public dichotomy, embodiment and sexuality, as
well as to power relations. In doing so, these movements have transformed
the everyday lives of many people, as well as political imaginaries,
cultures and practices. Most importantly, in the view of this special
issue, these movements have in common the attempt to reinterpret,
negotiate, and give expression to the notion of Revolution, in new critical
ways.
Yet the contribution brought by feminist and lgbtqi movements to a new
understanding of the category of Revolution needs to be further explored.
What is the relationship between these movements and the political,
ideological and organizational traditions that more firmly refer to the
notion of Revolution? How have these movements eventually conceived of an
alternative politics, without losing their transformative dimension? How
are they positioned within the dialectic of normalization and
transformation?
In order to answer to these questions, our issue wants to explore the
contradictions, challenges and choices experienced by people and
organizations belonging to these kinds of movements. We invite
contributions that especially address the transformations brought about by
feminist and/or lgbtqi movements and their relationship with the notion of
Revolution, with regard to one or more of the following fields:
- (paid) sexual practices
- reproduction
- family and parenting
- affects, relationships and solidarity
- cities and urban spaces
- science and technology
- labour and economics
- languages
- education
The geographical scope of the issue includes feminist and/or lgbtqi
movements that have developed in Western as well as formerly colonized and
migratory contexts. Although history is the main focus of this journal,
contributions that merge an historical perspective with other disciplines
are highly appreciated. Intersectional approaches to gender and sexuality
are also particularly welcomed.
Submissions: Full articles (6,000-9,000 words) shall be sent by 15th of
April 2014 to info@???. All contributors will be informed
about the selection by May. Final drafts, after reviews and comments, are
expected by the 1st of September 2014 in order to have the issue published
in Fall 2014.
