Protocolul editorial curent presupune publicarea celor două numere aferente anului 2013 până la data de 15 decembrie.
Pentru Nr.3/2013 colectivul de redacţie propune realizarea unei ediţii tematice-Idei filosofice în arta Europeană modernă şi contemporană (1850-2000), în prelungirea conferinţei naţionale onomine găzduită de Facultatea de Filosofie a Universităţii din Bucureşti şi de Centrul pentru Istoria Circulaţiei Ideilor Filosofice în luna aprilie.
Impactul dezvoltării tehnologice şi al modificărilor politice majore asupra artelor a fost unul semnificativ în toată această perioadă. Explorările tematice, modificările din procesul creativ cât şi din acela al receptării artistice îşi găsesc surse atât în abordările ştiinţifice, politice, sociologice şi antropologice, cât şi în cele filosofice. Un anume Weltanschauung al modernităţii şi al postmodernităţii îşi face simţită prezenţa în creaţia artistică europeană a secolelor XIX şi XX.
Care sunt temele abordate cu precădere, de ce se apelează la tehnici noi de creaţie, de ce arta şi artistul devin tot mai implicaţi în viaţa socială şi politică a vremii, de ce sunt abandonate anumite categorii estetice în favoarea altora, de ce noul este clamat cu vehemenţă până devine o tradiţie, care sunt efectele globalizării asupra artelor, ce teme filosofice se regăsesc în manifestările artistice ale acestei perioade?
Iată cadrul general-conceptual al ediţiei tematice aferente Nr.3/2013 a revistei Morphe.
Pentru Nr.4/2013, subiectul ales pentru realizarea unei noi ediţii tematice este: Filosofie şi Postmodernitate, Contururi, Dimensiuni, Eşecuri. Call-ul lansat articolelor este gândit în acord cu tema conferinţei naţionale studenţeşti găzduită de Facultatea de Filosofie a Universităţii din Bucureşti, realizată prin colaborarea ADCF şi a Centrului pentru Istoria şi Circulaţia Ideilor Filosofice, în luna aprilie a anului 2013.
Pentru o bună conlucrare, potențialii colaboratori sunt rugați să consulte indicațiile cuprinse în protocolul editorial.
CFP: Instruments & arts of inquiry: natural history, natural magic and the production of knowledge in early modern Europe
Editors: Dana Jalobeanu, Cesare Pastorino
The second half of the sixteenth-century saw the growing popularity of accounts detailing instrumental practices and experimental recipes in at least two emerging (and extremely popular) fields: natural magic and the tradition of the books of secrets. A typical example of this cultural phenomenon was the influential work of Giambattista della Porta. By the beginning of seventeenth-century, experimental practices and instruments became equally popular in natural history. In fact, almost the same period saw the transformation – in the works of Francis Bacon – of the traditional bookish discipline of natural history into a collaborative, experimental and practically oriented study of nature.
What was the relation between these apparently parallel transformations taking place in these subjects? Does it make sense to think that the Baconian transformation of natural history from a “science of describing” to an experimental and practically oriented discipline was influenced by the technologies and “recipes” elaborated by the practitioners of natural magic and the “Secrets” tradition? How about other forms of natural history? Did the “wonderful” instruments and “magical” techniques so common in the books of secrets “migrated” into more “sober,” more systematic works of natural history? Or, to put it in a different way, did natural historians borrow their instruments, technologies and practices from natural magicians and authors of secrets? And, if so, what were the mechanisms behind such borrowings?
This special issue of the Journal of Early Modern Studies seeks papers exploring the intersections between the disciplines of natural history, natural magic and the books of secrets tradition in the early modern period. We are particularly interested in the various ways in which texts and practices in the tradition of natural magic and the books of secrets were absorbed, transformed and integrated in the renovated natural histories of the seventeenth century.
JEMS is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal of intellectual history, dedicated to the exploration of the interactions between philosophy, science and religion in Early Modern Europe. It aims to respond to the growing awareness within the scholarly community of an emerging new field of research that crosses the boundaries of the traditional disciplines and goes beyond received historiographic categories and concepts.
JEMS publishes high-quality articles reporting results of research in intellectual history, history of philosophy and history of early modern science, with a special interest in cross-disciplinary approaches. It furthermore aims to bring to the attention of the scholarly community as yet unexplored topics, which testify to the multiple intellectual exchanges and interactions between Eastern and Western Europe during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
JEMS is edited by the Research Centre “Foundations of Modern Thought”, University of Bucharest (http://modernthought-unibuc.blogspot.com/), and published and distributed by Zeta Books (http://www.zetabooks.com/).
