CALL FOR PAPERS

JANUS HEAD 9.2 (Winter 2006/2007) - Special Issue

TOPIC:  The situated body

Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2006.

Guest Editor: Shaun Gallagher (University of Central Florida)

In recent phenomenological and analytic philosophy, as well as in the 
cognitive
sciences, emphasis has been given to embodiment. Concepts of embodied, 
enactive,
and situated cognition have been developed. This special issue of Janus Head
would like to explore questions about how the body is situated in both 
physical
and social environments. What various ways can we characterize a 
situated body,
and how does situatedness affect (or effect) perception, feeling, and 
cognition
more generally? We especially encourage interdisciplinary approaches to 
these
questions, including perspectives informed by phenomenology, philosophy 
of mind,
neuroscience, Gibsonian and developmental psychologies, and discussions 
of self,
the experience of others, narrative, metaphor, architecture, etc.

We are also soliciting poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and visual art
that, in some way or other, address the topic of "the situated body."

CRITERIA FOR ESSAYS: Submissions should be no longer than 10,000 words. 
Works
should be typed and double-spaced. Format requirements: APA or MLA styles
(footnotes should be placed at the end of paper). Submit one disk or CD 
and two

including a permanent e-mail address. Email submissions will not be 
accepted!

CRITERIA FOR SHORT FICTION, CREATIVE NON-FICTION, & POETRY: Please include a
