JSR: Journal for the Study of Radicalism—an academic journal published by Michigan State University Press—announces a call for articles and reviews for our
twelfth year of issues.
Forthcoming
thematic issues will include anarchism, including Black Bloc activism,
ecological radicalism, animal rights radicalism, and right-wing forms of
radicalism. We are particularly interested in articles on transnational
subjects as well as on lesser-known examples of radicalism, as well as in
articles that include theoretical and methodological considerations.
We are
interested in articles on radicalism in a wide range of contexts and areas, and
encourage articles from humanities and social science perspectives. The Journal for the Study of Radicalism engages in serious, scholarly exploration of the
forms, representations, meanings, and historical influences of radical social
movements. With sensitivity and openness to historical and cultural contexts of
the term, we loosely define "radical," as distinguished from
"reformers," to mean groups who seek revolutionary alternatives to
hegemonic social and political institutions, and who use violent or non-violent
means to resist authority and to bring about change.
The journal is eclectic,
without dogma or strict political agenda, and ranges broadly across social and
political groups worldwide, whether typically defined as "left" or
"right." We expect contributors to come from a wide range of fields
and disciplines, including ethnography, sociology, political science,
literature, history, philosophy, critical media studies, literary studies,
religious studies, psychology, women’s studies, and critical race studies. We
especially welcome articles that reconceptualize definitions and theories of
radicalism, feature underrepresented radical groups, and introduce new topics
and methods of study.
Submissions
should be 20-30 pages in length, in .doc format, and conform to Chicago Manual
of Style endnotes. Please include a one-paragraph abstract. Images for possible
use in an article should be 300 dpi. Authors are responsible for requesting and
receiving permission to reprint images for scholarly use.
Send
queries or completed articles to the editors at jsr@msu.edu by November 15,
2018.
Background
JSR’s
primary purpose is to serve as a venue for fine scholarship in this developing
academic field. We expect scholarly contributors to come from a wide range of
perspectives and disciplines, and we especially welcome articles that
reconceptualize definitions and theories of radicalism, feature
underrepresented radical groups, and introduce new topics and methods of study.
We seek articles that make a clear larger point, and that offer a real
contribution to the field.
Future
Issues
Subsequent
issues will be devoted to radical groups typically ignored in academic
scholarship, and we remain interested in articles that challenge conventional
notions of or received versions of the history of radicalism.
