Call for Submissions: Correspondences Journal
CFP: Correspondences Journal
A new academic journal on the study of Western esotericism seeks paper
submissions.
Correspondences is a new, biannual online journal devoted to the academic
study of Western esotericism. The journal seek to create a public academic
forum devoted to discussion and exposition of issues and currents in the
field commonly known as ‘Western esotericism.’ The editors acknowledge that
the use of “Western esotericism” as an umbrella term for a widely variant
field of alternate scientific and religious ideas is problematic. Thus,
articles related to esoteric currents from other global cultural centres
may be accepted if a connection to alternative currents in “western
culture” is implicitly established. The following list of areas of study is
provided for
clarification:
Alchemy, Anthroposophy, Astrology, Eco-spirituality, Esotericism in art,
literature, and music, Freemasonry, Geomancy, Gnosticism, Hermeticism,
Illuminism, Initiatory secret societies, Kabbalah, Magic, Mesmerism,
Mysticism, Naturphilosophie, Neo-paganism, New Age, Occultism, Occulture,
Paracelsianism, Rosicrucianism, Satanism, Spiritualism, Theosophy,
Traditionalism, Ufology, Witchcraft.
Correspondences intends to promote a wide forum of interdisciplinary debate
regarding such areas of study, and therefore does not require academic
credentials as a prerequisite for publication. Students and non-affiliated
academics are encouraged to join established researchers in submitting
insightful, well-researched articles that offer new ideas, positions, or
information to the field.
We are currently accepting book reviews (max. 1500 words) and articles
(5000-10000 words) for our first issue. The deadline for submission is
February 28. Following a peer-review process, the first issue will be
published June 1, 2013. Manuscripts should be submitted as per our
submission guidelines, available at www.correspondencesjournal.com. Please
send your manuscript and any enquiries to submissions [at]
correspondencesjournal.com.
