Call for Submissions

 The Transdisciplinary Journal of Emergence

"The transdisciplinary journal of emergence" is an English-language =
on-line journal published semi-annually. We are seeking contributions of =
papers/essays as well as visual work (e.g., photography, web art, etc) =
for the fourth (Spring 2005) issue, to be sent by March 1st, 2005.=20

The Theme of the issue is: Cultural Expression and Transmission in =
Post-Industrial Societies.

TJE is committed to fostering a critical dialogue across the social =
sciences and humanities and welcomes thinkers challenging existing =
models of cultural/political/economical production. We are interested in =
adventurous takes on popular or classical subjects. We strive to support =
a broad range of participants and perspectives. Of specific interest are =
perspectives and methodologies that cut across, or overcome altogether, =
disciplinary separations within the fields of social sciences and =
humanities.

Although TJE is published by a Business School, we do not intend to =
assign a particular emphasis to disciplinary (or trans-disciplinary, for =
that matter) discussions of management, economics, marketing, finance, =
and the like. Indeed, we believe the above-mentioned disciplines have =
increasingly progressed over time on a path that is eventually going to =
bring them outside the domain of the social sciences. If the social =
sciences are to constitute a distinct knowledge endeavor that should not
be, we believe, solely because their object is human beings. Instead, =
the reason for the existence of the social sciences as a separate field =
of inquiry should be epistemological.

Since the journal explicitly aims to overcome disciplinary separations, =
we felt it necessary to abandon the reviewing mechanisms =
institutionalized in most academic journals. We do not believe that an =
endeavor such as developing a "transdisciplinary journal" is possible =
within the context of the power/knowledge structure inherent in the =
traditional review process. Hence, papers will not be reviewed with the =
explicit purpose of suggesting modifications. Instead, the editor will
assign the submitted papers to two members of the editorial board, and =
publish their reactions and observations along with the papers.

Although this particular structure makes the quality of any received =
paper difficult to determine, we believe that the very criteria of =
"academic quality" should be subject to discussion, rather than taken =
for granted or simply inferred from the presence of a structured and =
systematic reviewing process. The editorial board is currently involved =
in such a debate, which will result in future modifications to this call =
for submissions. A similar issue concerns our lack of a clear definition
for the term "emergence", which is, similarly, subject to an ongoing =
debate within the editorial board resulting in periodic modifications to =
the editorial statement of the Journal.=20

In this way, we hope to overcome the disciplinary (in a Focauldian =
sense) emphasis of the traditional reviewing process as well as of a =
crystallized definition of a concept in favor of dialogue and =
trans-fertilization.=20

The deadline for our Spring 2005 issue is March 1st. We are always =
accepting submissions and proposals for future issues.

We thank you in advance for your support.
