Call for papers - Issue 18
2025-05-22
Dia-noesis is now accepting submissions for Issue 18 dedicated to “Trauma, Exile, and Cultural Displacement“:
Suggested Themes
– Philosophical Foundations of Trauma
– The Traumatic Roots of Exile: Examining instances where trauma (war, persecution, violence) is the direct cause of forced displacement.
– Memory and the Philosophy of Healing and Reconciliation.
– Philosophical and Cultural Concepts in Antiquity.
– Trauma and exile profoundly shaped the cultural identity of individuals and communities in ancient Greece. The shared experiences of war, loss, and displacement could forge strong bonds and influence collective memory.
– Athenian tragedy frequently explored the aftermath of traumatic events. Plays like Sophocles’ Ajax or Euripides’ The Trojan Women delve into the psychological wounds of war, betrayal, and loss, allowing audiences to witness and perhaps process these difficult emotions.
– Examining the philosophical dimensions of memory, historical trauma, and the struggle for recognition in exile, this collection/volume aims to understand how narrative can serve as a form of resistance, healing, and the (re)construction of ethical and political communities.
– Themes related to Greek Trauma and Culture.
