The journal qui parle is seeking submissions for a special dossier, “Urban Intercessions: The City as Limit Politics.” The dossier will focus on how we could imagine the effects and conditions of violence or political force — whether it be legal, racial, geographic, or gendered, and whether the force be oppressive or emancipatory — within the specific locality of a metropolitan context, one which is somehow inflected by local or particular concerns and yet reflects a global, international, or, at the very least, extra-metropolitan politics. What role does the city — “modern” or “not” — have in current inter/national political formations? How does it function as a site of violence or resistance? Is it in fact merely a site, and thus passive — a place where events simply transpire? Or does it offer specific configurations according to which politics become legible and/or possible? And if so, how can these configurations be illuminated? These questions are only suggestive; general examinations on immigration, urban development, kinship, political violence, religion and secularity, and the problem of subjectivation (especially as it concerns the question of Western versus non-Western subject formations) would be extremely relevant, and articles that deal with the literary and aesthetic aspects of some of these problems would also be very welcome. Submissions should be standard article length, 20-25 pages, double spaced. Please format essays in accordance to the Chicago Manual of Style. Submission can be sent electronically to quiparle@berkeley.edu, or in hard copy to:
