BOOK PROJECT. I posted this CFP in 300 character chunks earlier but here is the full pdf. Message w/ any questions.

"Capacities To: Affect Up Against Fascism" - deadline for abstracts is 10 Dec, with complete submissions (100-1500 words) due Dec 31.

Click the link for the pertinent details.

End transmission. Sorry it is so piecemeal. I will post a link to the full pdf once we have it uploaded to the SSA website.

● Beyond more usual written submissions, we are also very interested in visually oriented essays and artistic works.
● Poetic, experimental, and prose-mixed modes of writing are welcome.
● Submissions from non-US/North American and non-European countries are especially encouraged.

Final submissions are due December 31, 2024. Everyone will be notified about whether their submission has been accepted for publication (or not) by no later than Wednesday, January 8.

While we’d much prefer to read your abstract and offer any necessary revisions on the abstract or a completed submission as early as possible, you can also submit your paper for review on December 31 without having submitted an earlier abstract.

Please send a working title and opening paragraph/short overview to editor@imbricate.press by Dec 10, 2024. This allows us to see how the volume is shaping up, to see what’s missing, to figure out how to frame and introduce the pieces, etc.

So, then, will this be a book? a zine? a manifesto? a glossary? a manual for living? Maybe all of these, and something yet unforeseen.

That’s the aim of this project: to forge a place where we can gather up our respective orientation/disorientations and capacities/debilities to …intervene in, mess with, fuck up, turn over, probe and prick and deflate a furiously expanding fascism.

...provide the uniquely situated opportunities for embracing otherness as joyful and open-ended, for recognizing contamination and messiness as life-giving and not life-draining, for convincing bodies-minds that they/them is ultimately we/us? How do we get there while also bringing others along?

Namely, what/where/when/how does one (or several) unlock those ‘capacities to’ that dwell within the creases and along the cusp of fascism’s fearsome futurity, those capacities and incapacities that ...

So, this is where we need all of your energies, inventories (gleaning key lessons from struggles against fascism in other geographical locales and historical moments), and inventions.

Standing affect theory up against fascism requires not only a vibrantly visceral literacy but, even further, a capacity-to: compose/decompose/declaim/profane/make kin/raise a din (please insert your own word or phrase here) as our most forthright and capacious counter-tactic.

We must work to claw such corporeally-disaggregating discourse away from its calamitous trajectories and, instead, steer them toward decidedly different and radically integrative ends.
