Implicit religion refers to those aspects of ordinary life which seem to contain an inherently religious element within them - whether or not they are expressed in ways that are traditionally described as 'religious'.

This international journal welcomes papers on theory and evidence in the study of religion and secularity, and those which explore the relationship between the context and dynamism of religious and secular phenomena. It is particularly concerned with religious life outside the boundaries of the churches/organized religion in post-modernity. The aim of Implicit Religion is to enhance our general understanding of human behaviour, through the insights developed by the academic study of religion.

IJSNR is published in cooperation with The International Society for the Study of New Religions (ISSNR). The term “New Religions” can be defined in several ways. ISSNR and IJSNR has chosen to adopt a broad definition. In the narrow sense, “New Religions” is a term applied especially to religious phenomena that emerged in the West after the mid-1900s. More widely understood, the term can also include older religious movements or organizations that are “new” in a specific historical context. The term encompasses organized groups as well as less organized movements or observable trends. Many of these groups and movements are international and can be found in numerous countries. There are also new religious movements that are specific to a particular country or to a particular area of the world. In recent decades, new religions or new religious movements outside of the Western context have attracted attention. Additionally, the concept of New Religions includes less organized phenomena, such as the so-called New Age and alternative spirituality, as well as new expressions within established religions.



The International Journal for the Study of New Religions considers submissions from both established scholars and research students from all over the world. Articles should be written for a general scholarly audience. All articles are refereed. Each issue includes articles and a number of book reviews.The editor will not consider manuscripts that are under consideration by another publisher. It is assumed that once submitted, to IJSNR, articles will not be sent to other publishers until a decision about inclusion has been reached. Material must not have been previously published in exactly the same format. The journal is published simultaneously in print and online.

Jazz Research Journal

Editors

Catherine Tackley The Open University

Tony Whyton University of Salford



Jazz Research Journal explores a range of cultural and critical views on jazz. The journal celebrates the diversity of approaches found in jazz scholarship and provides a forum for interaction and the cross-fertilisation of ideas. It is a development and extension of The Source: Challenging Jazz Criticism founded in 2004 at the Leeds College of Music.



The journal aims to represent a range of disciplinary perspectives on jazz, from musicology to film studies, sociology to cultural studies, and offers a platform for new thinking on jazz. In this respect, the editors particularly welcome articles that challenge traditional approaches to jazz and encourage writings that engage with jazz as a discursive practice.



Jazz Research Journal publishes original and innovative research that either extends the boundaries of jazz scholarship or explores themes which are central to a critical understanding of the music, including the politics of race and gender, the shifting cultural representation of jazz, and the complexity of canon formation and dissolution.



In addition to articles, the journal features a reviews section that publishes critical articles on a variety of media, including recordings, film, books, educational products and multimedia publications.



Jazz Research Network members can subscribe to the journal at a discount.

We are pleased to announce the launch of The Journal for Research into Freemasonry and Fraternalism, the first academic journal dedicated to scholarly contributions in an ever-growing area of research.

The journey towards the establishment of research into freemasonry and fraternalism as an academic topic took more than two hundred and fifty years. When in 1717 four lodges in London decided to form the first Grand lodge, an amazing development in associational life in Europe began. Freemasonry in our understanding has however to be subsumed under a larger scope of analysis -- fraternalism, meaning an element of human culture and nature that represents the idea of organized community. Fraternal associations ranging from the garden of Epicure via the guilds of the Middle Ages to communities on the Internet share common features and inner dynamics. Freemasonry is a very well developed and documented fraternal organization and it makes sense to study it in its own right. However we will probably never reach a full comprehension of one of the most fascinating and thought-provoking phenomena in human culture if it is not properly contextualized. Hence we invite contributions in the special field of freemasonry as much as in the wider field of fraternalism.

As freemasonry and related organizations attracted intellectuals it does not surprise that many of them had a deep interest in researching its history, origin and symbolism. In the first phase members of these organizations produced investigations and surveys on these topics, leading in the 19th century to the establishment of internal research organizations such as the lodge of research Quatuor Coronati in London. But it was a century later freemasonry eventually became an academic subject. It is thanks to the groundbreaking contributions by scholars during the last decades of the 20th century that Academia became aware of a long-neglected topic. Since then, academic chairs and centers devoted to freemasonry have been established and a growing number of researchers in various fields -- ranging from 18th century scholars to religious and art historians -- devote themselves to the fascinating world of fraternal organizations. They apply various methods and theories: analyze the roll of gender, music or initiation rituals, the implications for the formation of national identity in different parts of the world, the colonial history or the networks and membership structures of these organizations, to mention just a few of the approaches.

The journal is intended to create a bridge between different traditions of scholarship and hence we welcome contributions in French as well as English.

From 2007, The Journal of Religion, Nature and Culture is the new title for Ecotheology which for more than a decade has been the leading forum for constructive and normative studies on the relationship between religion and ecology.The journal's expanded goals are to explore the relationships among human beings, their diverse religions, and the earth’s living systems and to explore-- without oversimplifying -- what constitutes an ethically appropriate relationship between our own species and the natural worlds we inhabit.

The journal is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture. Members qualify for a membership discount on subscriptions to the journal. To join please visit the Society website.

You can browse the contents and abstracts of all back issues of Ecotheology by clicking ";Browse Issues"; on the right side of this page. Authorized Users can also access the full text of back issues here (from Volume 9.1).

Types of Articles and Special Issues

Social Scientific and Cultural Studies
Qualitative or Quantitative analyses spotlighting the religion variable in human/environment relations. Examples include:
* Research grounded in cultural studies, ecological anthropology; environmental history, cultural geography, sociology, political science; historical ecology; and social movement theory (to name a few).
* Analyses of the relationships between nature-related religious perceptions and values and human behaviors that impact nature, including the consumption of natural resources, breeding and fertility rates, lifestyle and livelihood choices, and social organization and forms of political mobilization.
* Analyses of the role of nature-related religion in environmental degradation, protection or restoration; or in precipitating or exacerbating social conflict, or in ameliorating such conflict.
Natural Science Studies
Research exploring through any branch of the natural sciences the connections between humans and the living systems upon which they depend. Examples Include:
* Research grounded in cognitive science or evolutionary biology.
* Analyses of theories that purport to reveal the natural, evolutionary roots of religious and ethical beliefs, values and behaviors, such as “sociobiology.”
* Analyses of the role of natural science in religious thought and behavior, such as those exploring how scientific narratives and cosmologies are being integrated into religious belief systems, and how environmental “conservation sciences” can assume a religious dimension in their formulation and practice.
* Critical reflections on the theoretical, philosophical, practical aspects of ecological science for religious traditions and ethical debates.
Constructive and Normative Studies
Religious and ethical perspectives on human obligations to ecosystems and other living things. Examples include:
* Research rooted in religious and philosophical investigations of a traditions understanding of what constitutes the proper relationships between human beings (and their social structures) and the Earth’s living systems.
* Analyses or articulation of ethical arguments from one or more religious perspectives, including “world religions,” “nature religions,” “new religious movements,” “lived religion,” and so on. Such thematic issues and articles may explore any religious form of nature-related spirituality.
* Perspectives on and debates engaging postmodern theory and the “social construction of nature;” and related to domestic and international law, political philosophies, and public policies.

Journal for the Study of Spirituality

Book Review Editor

Send books for review to: 19 Doods Park Road, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 0PZ, United Kingdom

Journal for the Study of Spirituality is an exciting new international peer-reviewed journal. Its intention is to create a unique interdisciplinary, inter-professional and cross-cultural forum where researchers, scholars and others engaged in the study and practices of spirituality can share and debate the research, knowledge, wisdom and insight associated with spirituality and contemporary spirituality studies.

The Journal is affiliated to the British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS). BASS organises a biennial international conference and welcomes enquiries about membership from those interested in the study of spirituality in the UK and worldwide.

Rationale
The study of spirituality has developed within and across a number of disciplines and draws on methodological approaches ranging from autoethnography to large quantitative studies. Within many professions there is a statutory duty to respond to the spiritual needs of service users. In local communities there are numerous informal groups focussing on personal/spiritual development; and growing evidence of grassroots movements aimed at advancing public knowledge and mutual understanding of different faith and spiritual pathways. To date, however, there has been no single forum in which research and scholarly interests in, and experiences of, spirituality and spiritual care can be brought together. Because they cross international, cultural, subject and professional boundaries, and can also arise outside of academic and professional contexts, they tend to be reported in journals and at conferences and meetings which do not often cross-fertilise one another. Journal for the Study of Spirituality aims to provide this much-needed forum for a wide-ranging exploration of spirituality, informed by the research, scholarship, ideas, traditions, critiques, practices and experiences generated in different settings.

Focus
The journal is concerned with what spirituality means, and how it is expressed, in individuals’ lives and communities and in professional practice settings; and with the impact and implications of spirituality in, and on, social policy, organizational practices and personal and professional development. The journal recognises that spirituality and spiritual values can be expressed and studied in secular contexts, including in scientific and professional practice settings, as well as within faith and wisdom traditions. Thus, Journal for the Study of Spirituality particularly welcomes contributions that:

* identify new agendas for research into spirituality within and across subject disciplines and professions;
* explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to the study of spirituality;
* introduce comparative perspectives and insights drawn from different cultures and/or professional practice settings;
* aim to apply and develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique in relation to spirituality and spiritual practices;
* critically examine the values and presuppositions underpinning different forms of spirituality and spiritual practices;
* incorporate different forms of writing and expressions of spirituality.

Scope
Journal for the Study of Spirituality includes:

* Research papers based on completed research or substantial work-in-progress (epistemological and methodological approaches should be clarified for the benefit of readers from different disciplines and cultures);
* Scholarly articles exploring understandings of spirituality, including within professional practice settings;
* Critically reflexive and/or autoethnographic accounts of the experience or practice of spirituality;
* Critique/discussion papers designed to generate debate from one issue to the next;
* Book reviews of recent publications;
* Occasional review essays focussing on established texts in the field;
* Reports of recent relevant conferences;
* Brief summaries of completed doctoral theses in the field (online only).

Publication: May and November.
The first issue will appear in May, 2011.

Journal of Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice is the new title for Journal of Applied Linguistics, which was launched in 2004 with the aim of advancing research and practice in applied linguistics as a principled and interdisciplinary endeavour. From Volume 7, the journal will adopt the new title to reflect the continuation, expansion and re-specification of the field of applied linguistics as originally conceived. Moving away from a primary focus on research into language teaching/learning and second language acquisition, the education profession will remain a key site but one among many, with an active engagement of the journal moving to sites from a variety of other professional domains such as law, healthcare, counselling, journalism, business interpreting and translating, where applied linguists have major contributions to make. Accordingly, under the new title, the journal will reflexively foreground applied linguistics as professional practice. As before, each volume will contain a selection of special features such as editorials, specialist conversations, debates and dialogues on specific methodological themes, review articles, research notes and targeted special issues addressing key themes.

The Journal of Critical Realism (JCR) is the journal of the International Association for Critical Realism (IACR), established in 1997 to foster the discussion, propagation and the development of critical realist approaches to understanding and changing the world. It provides a forum for scholars wishing to promote realist emancipatory philosophy, social theory and science on an interdisciplinary and international basis, and for those who wish to engage with such an approach. Material should, as a rule, be directed at an audience across different disciplines with a shared interest in critical realism rather than a specialist disciplinary audience.



The journal publishes articles, review essays, review symposia, book reviews, debates and postgraduate interventions that relate in some significant way to critical realist approaches to understanding and changing the world.



For more information about Critical Realism please go to International Association for Critical Realism


How to Join the IACR?


Anyone can join IACR. Members receive the Journal of Critical Realism and significant reductions for the annual conference and other fee charging events. To join, click the Members button above and proceed, or join at the annual conference.


Call for papers



Please see the announcements at the bottom of this page for recent calls for papers for two special issues.

JCR aims to publish scholarly articles on all aspects of critical realism as a multidisciplinary and emancipatory/ transformative movement, and to encourage debate between critical realist and other approaches. We are currently particularly interested in empirically based studies, papers exploring the applicability of critical realism in new areas, and in engagement with critical realism from the direction of mainline realism, social constructionism, hermeneutics, postmodernism, feminist theory, Hegelianism and Marxism.

Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders

Editors
Jack S. Damico
University of Louisiana at Lafayette

Martin J. Ball
University of Louisiana at Lafayette

The Journal of Interactional Research in Communication Disorders aims to provide a unique forum for qualitative research relating to speech and language disorders, therapeutic and educational interactions, and for research into the contextual issues involved in these interactions. Additionally, the journal will include quantitative studies in the area of social interaction. The journal will publish wide-ranging, well-formulated clinical studies employing ethnographic methods, conversation analysis, grounded theory, case studies, phenomenology, biographical studies, and historical methodology. Research involving systemic functional linguistic theory or relevance theory, systemic and cognitive phonology, and interactional phonetics, is also encouraged.


This journal is intended to fill a gap in the existing market of periodical literature. The journal will publish work that examines social interactions or institutional discourses that relate to clinical and educational populations and contexts. The emphasis will be on the areas of communication and socialization but this is seen as encompassing both verbal and non-verbal semiotic systems as well as issues of social roles and interactional dynamics. It is anticipated that research articles and reports will be the typical form of presentation in the journal. However, articles focusing on relevant theoretical issues and review articles will also have a place. Particularly in a journal with such cross-disciplinary potential, such extended reviews of certain background issues or theories may be very useful to the readership.

Journal of Film Music

Current Issue Volume 3.2. Click here to view Contents Current Issue Information COVER:When the 1959 English Decca recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra with Herbert Von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra was reissued on the London Stereo Treasury Series in 1968 following its immense popularity in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the album cover boasted that it was “the original Von Karajan recording” featured in the film. That could not be more ironic as it was the only work used in the film for which no conductor and orchestra received screen credit, because Decca had stipulated to Kubrick and M-G-M that it did not want it known that their recording had been used. At the time many record labels issued recordings of the work and sought to capitalize on the music being used in 2001 by having astronomical art on the covers, which is no doubt why London Records specified that theirs was “the original” recording used in the film.

The Journal of Film Music is a forum for the musicological study of film from the standpoint of dramatic musical art. The analytical tools and methodologies of historical, systematic, cognitive, and ethnomusicology all are relevant and essential to this study, which seeks to both document and illuminate film practice through source studies, analysis, theory, and criticism.

Film, though a product of late 19th century technological innovation, viewed historically as a dramatic art form, only emerged as such after the turn of the 20th century, with a musical practice that underwent almost continual development and changes throughout that time to the present day: The advent of sound in theatrical motion pictures precipitated an adaptation in silent film accompaniment, such that techniques were developed to combine it with onscreen music performance, dialog, and sound effects, while also placing increased value on original composition over the use or adaptation of existing music. The tradition and techniques of this practice carried over into radio, television, computer, and other communications media. In a historical framework, This journal examines film and its allied media not only in terms of its own shared tradition, but in terms of its roots, precursors, and parallels throughout music of the theater and other fields of music, both “classical” and popular, from which it has borrowed: incidental music for plays, 19th century stage melodrama, Vaudeville, opera and operetta, musical comedy, melodeclamation, ballet, dance and music hall, as well as forms of dramatic concert music such as oratorios, cantatas, and tone poems. The juxtaposition and clash of musical idioms from the traditions of Western theater and art music with those of popular music partly accounts for the eclecticism that has always characterized film since the silent days. Hybrid styles were born, for example, that which came to be widely known as the “Hollywood style,” in which jazz was combined with European art music (“classical” music). The wide ranging and multifarious background that has contributed to the development of music for Western cinema also influenced non-Western cinema as well, particularly because of the prevalent use of European- and American-published “photoplay music” throughout the world during the silent era which, in effect, produced a veritable international film practice, if one with regional variations, that persisted into the sound era. Systematic, cognitive, and ethnomusicological research endeavors to document and analyze these cultural differences as well as commonalities across cultures and time periods are all welcome topics for this journal.

We also encourage contributions dealing with contemporary approaches to gender, agency, identity and landscape, and we welcome material that covers both the theoretical implications and methodological assumptions that can be extrapolated from the relevant archaeological data. In terms of its temporal scope, JMA welcomes manuscripts from any period of Mediterranean prehistory and history, from the Palaeolithic to the Early Modern. The geographical focus of JMA is the islands within, and the lands or regions that border the Mediterranean Sea, from Gibraltar and the Iberian Peninsula in the west, to the Jordan Valley and Egypt in the east; from the mountain chains that fringe the diverse coastal plains of northern Mediterranean to the Atlas Mountains of the Maghreb and the Saharan desert cultures that impact on the Mediterranean's southern shores.

Because no one discipline or theory in the human sciences can by itself tell the whole story of human existence, Linguistics and the Human Sciences is committed to fostering a dialogue of disciplines, in which linguistics figures prominently. This journal is devoted to the exploration of how understanding about language – our principal meaning making semiotic system – helps us understand about other phenomena in human experience, and vice versa. It aims to explore the relationships between linguistics and such areas of scholarly concern as history, sociology, politics, archaeology, religious studies, translation and the study of art in various semiotic modalities, in so much as these enterprises draw upon or contribute to a catholic understanding and development linguistics. “If there is to be a science of sciences in the twenty-first century,” writes M.A.K. Halliday “it will have to include linguistics – at least as a partner, and perhaps the leading partner, in the next round of man’s dialogue with nature.”

Medieval Mystical Theology, published as the Eckhart Review (ISSN 0969-3661) since 1992, is the new name of the peer-reviewed journal of The Eckhart Society. The journal’s change of title reflects a broadening of its editorial remit. The first issue under the new title will appear in 2011, but from 2012 the journal will increase to two issues per year.

Medieval Mystical Theology welcomes the submission of scholarly papers embracing all factors contributing to the understanding of medieval mystical theology. This includes not only the study of individual writers, but also movements, themes, developments, and ideas within the context of mystical theology in the Middle Ages. The journal embraces the influence of Neo-Platonism, Aristotelianism, Patristics, Judaism and Islam on Christian medieval mystical theology, as well as interpretations of the tradition for today. Comparisons between medieval mystical theology and other traditions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism and Confucianism, are also within the compass of the journal. As the journal of The Eckhart Society, it especially welcomes scholarly studies of the life, work, and reception of Meister Eckhart.

Reviews of books covering any aspect of medieval mystical theology and an annual Eckhart bibliography will continue to be included.

From 2011 the journal will be published both in print and online. The archive of back issues of the Eckhart Review will be available as part of all institutional and membership subscriptions as soon as back issues are digitised.

Founded in 2001 explicitly to fill the void left by the cessation of Edmund Husserl's Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung, The New Yearbook for Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy provides an annual international forum for phenomenological research in the spirit of Husserl's groundbreaking work and the extension of this work effected by such figures as Max Scheler, Edith Stein, Martin Heidegger, Oskar Becker, Jean-Paul Sartre, Emmanuel Levinas, Ludwig Landgrebe, Eugen Fink, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Hans-Georg Gadamer. It is the judgment of the editors that besides being an almost century-old tradition of texts and problems, phenomenology is at its core a way of posing fundamental questions and a self-critical methodology. 

The editors solicit the submission both of manuscripts that develop original interpretations of the major thinkers in the phenomenological tradition and manuscripts that expand phenomenology's research horizons. Especially welcome are submissions that explore the relation of phenomenology to the history of philosophy, to contemporary philosophical issues and debates, and to work in related fields. In addition to regular essays, the journal publishes reviews, review essays and also translations of original texts and documents. The journal occasionally publishes special issues on a particular topic such as Volume IX (Becoming Heidegger: On the Trail of his Early Occasional Writings,1910-1927).

PentecoStudies: An Interdisciplinary Journal for Research on the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements

Editor
Mark J. Cartledge, University of Birmingham

Reviews Editor
Michael Bergunder, University of Heidelberg

PentecoStudies originated in 2002 as an expression of the research associated with the Hollenweger Centre at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam where it was edited by André Droogers. With the Emergence of the European Research Network on Global Pentecostalism, the journal migrated to the GloPent website in 2006. The growth of the network and the increased volume of research generated on the nature of global Pentecostalism means that the network is now able to take the next step forward by entering into a new partnership with Equinox.

Two issues will be published annually from April 2010, with volume 9.1 signalling the beginning of this new stage with a collection of articles on transnational Pentecostalism in Europe.

PentecoStudies offers a distinctly interdisciplinary forum for the study of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity. Authors from the social sciences, the humanities, cultural studies, religious studies and theology are all welcome to submit research on global expressions of Pentecostalism defined in its broadest sense. The journal invites work that attends to historical, contemporary and regional studies. In particular, it is interested in the global expansion of Pentecostalism, its mutations and impact on society, culture and the media, including its influence on traditional non-Pentecostal churches. Comparative research is encouraged, especially if it is based on different regional studies and contributes to our understanding of globalization and the role of Pentecostalism in post-colonial contexts. Attention to the lived experience of religion is important and studies that include empirical research are welcome, as well as theoretical studies. Theological contributions that assist our understanding of the beliefs and practices of Pentecostal Christians are essential and these are best placed if they engage in a dialogue with the broader traditions of philiosophy and theology, especially ecumenical dialogue. Finally, in this age of many faiths, it is important that the impact of Pentecostalism on other religious traditions is researched and vice versa. Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity ("Pentecostalisms") cannot be fully appreciated in isolation but must be understood in all its complexity when it is placed in multiple contexts and viewed through multiple lenses. The journal aims to fulfil this important research need.

Perfect Beat first appeared in July 1992. For many years supported by the Department of Contemporary Music Studies at Macquarie University -- and continuing that strong association into the future -- the journal will from 2009 be published by Equinox as a biannual publication in print and online.

The journal's name derived from Afrika Bambaata and the Soul Sonic Force's 12-inch, 1983 single Looking for the Perfect Beat. The journal's association with the popular cultural quest and mixed, eclectic references of the song are reflected in the articles that have appeared so far which have often concerned themselves with 'world beat' and/or 'world music' and the marketing of non-western musics in the western market and the analysis of local music production. As befits a journal originating in Australia, the journal remains focussed on the popular music of the 'Pacific rim' and includes historical and contemporary studies with contributions invited from popular music studies, musicology, cultural studies and ethnomusicological perspectives.

A common theme in many of the articles published has been the development of new styles of popular music by indigenous peoples and their relationships (beneficial and/or problematic) with the technologies and institutions of the 20th Century media and music industries.The principal contribution of indigenous musicians and cultural activists to the journal has been through their collaboration as interviewees and/or co-authors of individual studies. The editors of the journal have endeavoured to maintain a continuing relationship with musicians, communities and cultural groups who have been the subject of study - distributing copies of the publication to interested individuals and bodies, and publishing research updates on previous material (often at the invitation/instigation of the subjects of the preceding research).

The Pomegranate is the first International, peer-reviewed journal of Pagan studies. It provides a forum for papers, essays and symposia on both ancient and contemporary Pagan religious practices. The Pomegranate also publishes timely reviews of scholarly books in this growing field. The editors seek both new interpretations and re-examinations of those traditions marked both by an emphasis on nature as a source of sacred value (e.g., Wicca, modern Goddess religions) as well as those emphasizing continuity with a polytheistic past (e.g., Ásatrú and other forms of 'reconstructionist' Paganism). The editors also seek papers on the interplay between Pagan religious traditions, popular culture, literature, psychology and the arts.

Popular Music History publishes original historical and historiographical research that draws on the wide range of disciplines and intellectual trajectories that have contributed to the establishment of popular music studies as a recognized academic enterprise.



Articles that challenge established orthodoxies in popular music studies, examine the formation and dissolution of canons, interrogate histories of genres, focus on forms of popular music that have existed below the "historical radar," and engage in archaeologies of popular music history, are particularly welcome.



The philosophy of Popular Music History is to encourage research that is empirically grounded. However, the journal's historical orientation is not intended to be exclusive. Articles that concentrate on historical and historiographical issues that draw on music analysis, incorporate cultural theory, or engage in the ‘history of the present’, are also appropriate.



In addition to the reviews section, a distinctive feature of Popular Music History is its section on Resources. Resources re-publishes articles of historical importance that have become difficult to find or unjustifiably obscure, report on archives, museums and scholarly collections of particular importance to writing popular music history, and serve as a forum for the discussion of issues of special interest to popular music histories.

Postscripts: The Journal of Sacred Texts and Contemporary Worlds

Editor: Elizabeth Castelli ecastell@barnard.edu




Review Editor: This journal does not have a book review section. It occasionally publishes review essays.



Postscripts is a fully refereed journal devoted to the academic study of scripture around the globe. The study of sacred texts has historically been a highly technical, specialized and elite practice, held in preserve by religious authorities and professional scholars. As important as this technical and specialized work is, it represents only a small proportion of the rich panoply of engagements with texts that are foundational in the lives of individuals and communities around the world -- texts that travel under the name of 'scripture' or 'sacred' text.


Postscripts takes seriously a broad array of historical and contemporary engagements with such texts and aims to open up the discussion of sacred texts by crossing traditional boundaries, bringing different disciplinary tools to the process of analysis, and opening up a sustained dialogue between and among scholars and others who are interested in religion, textuality, media and mediation and the contemporary world.



From 2011, Postscripts is the official journal of SCRIPT, the Society for Research on Iconic and Performative Texts. Regular membership in SCRIPT includes online access to current and backissues of the journal. To join Script, please click the Membership button at the top of this page.



Postscripts is in the process of publishing backlogged issues in volumes 4 (2008), 5 (2009), and 6 (2010). The journal is currently accepting submissions for volume 7 (2011). Please contact editor Elizabeth Castelli (ecastell@barnard.edu) if you have further questions about the status of the journal.

Practical Theology

Editor Eric Stoddart University of St. Andrews Reviews Editor Alison Le Cornu In 2008 CONTACT changed its title to: Practical Theology

Please send Books for review in Practical Theology to: Alison Le Cornu 20 The Garth Botley Oxford OX2 9AL United Kingdom

"Contact is an excellent resource in a field where
there seem to be few signposts. It is not only
interdisciplinary but international in its focus, and keeps the horizons
of pastoral studies without sacrificing depth and rigour."


The Most Rt Revd Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury

Practical Theology, the new name of the official journal of the UK and Irish Association for Practical Theology, is published on behalf of the Contact Pastoral Trust. It has been published since 1960 and plays a vital role for those who are involved in pastoral practice and for those who reflect on practical theology within an academic context. From 2008 the journal is published by Equinox, with an increased pagination and, for the first time, online as well as in print.




The journal's mission has always been to contribute to the development of pastoral studies and practical theology by publishing creative articles which report good practice, and which offer fresh theoretical and practical insights in this area. It is multidisciplinary, with contributions drawn from counselling, social work, psychology, sociology, ethics, as well as pastoral and practical theology. Variety to cater for all tastes is a hallmark, from monograph-length articles which have always proved such an important feature of Contact, through research reports of about 5000 words, to much shorter accounts of practice, responses to events, interviews, book reviews, short stories or poems. The audience for the journal are those practioners and students doing masters courses and professional doctoral work in practical theology as well as traditional readers of the journal who have found it a continuing source of enrichment for their day to day practice of ministry.



CALL FOR PAPERS

Some issues of Practical Theology focus on particular themes.
Issue 6.2 will be devoted to Counter-terrorism, Law and Order with the aim of encouraging practical theological reflection on domestic and international dimensions of counterterrorism strategies. Articles are welcome from, for example, practitioners working alongside particular faith or ethnic communities directly affected by government or policing policies, and academic writers exploring political or social aspects from theological perspectives. Deadline for submissions: 30 November 2012. Collaborative authorship is particularly encouraged.

Guidelines for authors are available at: http://www.equinoxjournals.com/

Contact the journal's editor, Eric Stoddart, with preliminary enquiries.

Reformation & Renaissance Review, (founded 1999) is the journal of the Society for Reformation Studies (founded 1993) that sponsors an annual, open, three-day conference at the University of Cambridge. The Society pays special attention to the dimensions and contexts of religion in the long era of Renaissance and Reformation. Its Presidents have been Peter Stephens, Ian Hazlett, Bruce Gordon, Gerald Hobbs, David Bagchi, and Tony Lane. Current office-bearers include Jon Balserak and Charlotte Methuen.Members of the Society are entitled to a reduced subscription to R&RR.


A peer-reviewed journal of three Issues per year, online and in print, R&RR provides an international platform for scholars, established and emerging, to publish research Articles on any aspect of religious thought and life, theology and culture, from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. This embraces Christian Humanist, Roman Catholic, Protestant as well as various other alternative approaches to reform, change and continuity in church and society. It may also include interaction with other religions in Europe. Contributions from cognate disciplines or related fields of enquiry that bear on faith, its practice and on cultural religious phenomena are also sought. While welcoming studies in national, regional, local or biographical contexts, the Review aims especially to encourage work on the Reformation and Catholic reform as pan-European movements with an ambivalent relationship to Renaissance humanism. Journal Issues contain contributions offering fresh perspectives, developments or evidence as well as reappraisals of current consensus on a topic of interest.


In addition, the R&RR has a section for Book Reviews to alert readers to wider research outcomes and to encourage critical discussion.


Accompanying articles and book reviews, the scope of the journal now includes a section of edited Texts and Documents. This includes fifteenth- to seventeenth-century sources published originally in various languages (or republished) between c. 1500 and our own century, but here in English translation for the first time. Such material may be anything, very small or fairly large, and extends to bibliographical presentations. Less well-known, early modern, English language texts can also be offered in a modernized form. Selections from manuscript archival material in a variety of languages with accompanying translations are also envisaged.


While the normal language of the journal is English, the Editorial Team is prepared to consider the occasional publication of an article written in French or German when an English translation of sufficiently high quality cannot be provided.

Religions of South Asia

Editors

Anna King, Winchester

Dermot Killingley, Newcastle

Book Review Editor

Suzanne Newcombe, London



Religions of South Asia is a development of the work of the Spalding Symposium on Indian Religions which has been meeting (in recent years in Oxford) since the mid 1970s and is supported by the Spalding Trust.

ROSA publishes papers by internationally respected scholars on some of the most vibrant and dynamic religious traditions of the world. It includes the latest research on distinctively South Asian or Indic religions - Hindu, Jaina, Buddhist and Sikh - religions which continue to influence the patterns of thought and ways of life of millions of people. These are traditions which are integral not only to the development of the cultural identities of India and South Asia, but to those of many diaspora communities globally. The Journal also includes papers on those religions originating from outside the sub-continent - Christian, Jewish, Islamic and Zoroastrian traditions and newly emerging religions like the Baha'i tradition, which are developing a significant presence in South Asia. Papers are particularly welcomed that discuss the confluence of religious cultures and inter-cultural encounters.

Sociolinguistic Studies is the new title of Estudios de Sociolingüística, a journal founded in 2000 at the University of Vigo (Galicia, Spain) which offers a linguistic and cultural bridge between sociolinguistic research in the Romance world – especially the Spanish and Latino-American world – and the English-speaking research community.



All articles in Sociolinguistic Studies are peer-reviewed and may be in English, Spanish, Portuguese or French (75% of the contents are in English). It takes an ecumenical approach to the different schools, methodological principles or research orientations within sociolinguistic research and also accepts contributions from related fields such as pragmatics, discourse analysis, conversational analysis, interactional linguistics, language acquisition and socialization, linguistic anthropology, ethnomethodology and the ethnography of communication. Papers may examine any issue in sociolinguistic research including, but not limited to,styles and registers, communicative situations and speech events, politeness, bilingual conversation and code-switching, gender and discourse, language attitudes, language ideologies, the diversity of the worldwide linguistic situation, bilingualism and multilingualism, diglossia, pidgins and creoles, language and culture and language and identity.



Sociolinguistic Studies also pays special attention to minority language and cultures, language contact and change, language maintenance, shift and loss, language and social inequalities and language planning and policy.

The journal publishes substantial research papers, discussion notes, reviews and review articles and regularly publishes thematic issues.

For fifteen years, the journal has been the primary vehicle for those undertaking theological studies of sexuality and gender issues. It is an international, peer reviewed journal that also aims to be accessible to those with a non-professional interest in the field such as those engaged in counselling. The themes addressed by the journal include theological constructions of sex and gender, marriage, models of the family, deconstructive and reconstructive approaches to traditional Christian (and other traditions) teaching on sexuality, sexuality and violence and oppression, and the ethics of personal relationships.



The Journal acknowledges the support of The Centre for the Study of Christianity and Sexuality whose members receive the journal as part of their annual membership.

Writing & Pedagogy seeks to provide a new forum for discussion and dissemination of knowledge focused on both writing and the teaching of writing. It is innovative in being both international in scope and in spanning across all levels of education, from K-12 through doctoral level. The journal aims to provide information and stimulate conversations that can advance the theory and practice of writing pedagogy in first- and second-language environments by revealing similarities and differences in the practices and concerns regarding writing and the teaching of writing across different contexts and educational systems. The journal solicits submissions in the categories of essays, research reports, pedagogical reflections, discussion of technology, and book reviews. Although the primary focus is on the teaching of English writing within formal education, the journal welcomes articles on writing outside of English education, such as the teaching of writing in other languages, the writing needs of specific workplace contexts, and issues of a theoretical or practical nature involving the nature of writing or research on writing.



The intention of the journal for the first four volumes (2009-2012) will be to publish twice yearly, in Spring and Autumn, with the first issue each year being an “open topic” issue and the second being a “special topic” issue.



Types of Articles


W&P seeks both full-length and short articles on the theory and practice of teaching writing, pedagogical issues and practices of writing in the disciplines, teaching writing to speakers whose primary language is other than English, writing technologies and online contexts, administration of writing programs, assessment of writing, and book reviews.



Research Matters

Full-length articles (7500-9000 words) describing original research, critically reviewing research studies, or otherwise discussing issues of theory and research related to writing and pedagogy. Articles reporting any type of research (linguistic, comparative, ethnographic, survey, historical) are welcome. Evidence of adherence to research guidelines such as review by institutional review board (IRB) may be requested where relevant.



Reflections on Practice

Mid-length articles (2000-4000 words) addressing practical concerns related to writing and pedagogy or describing and critically reflecting on original teaching practices and setting these in a larger context of educational issues or writing theory. We are particularly interested in reflections on teaching ideas that have been refined over a period of time in response to circumstances, or that compare different approaches in relation to actual effects on the students or other outcomes.



From the e-Sphere

Short articles (1000-1200 words) describing online developments and applications (computer-assisted language learning, web-based applications, wikis, blogosphere, multiliteracies).


New Books

Readers’ reviews of books in any area included in the journal; normally 1000-1200 words but longer comparative or theoretical review articles will be considered. Potential reviewers should first contact the Review Editor to discuss available books for review. Reviewers should aim for an informative and balanced review that includes: an overview of the content of the book, reflections on both its strengths and weaknesses, and an assessment of its audience and value.



Themed Issues


W&P also publishes themed issues, and proposals for these are welcomed.
The special topic issues for the first three volumes, which all have completed contents, are:

Vol. 1(2) 2009 Postgraduate Writing

Vol. 2(2) 2010 Plagiarism in the Academy

Vol. 3(2) 2011 Multiliteracies



CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Writing & Pedagogy announces a special issue on Creativity and Writing Pedagogy guest-edited by Barnard New Women Poet's Prize winning author, Harriet Levin Millan, Writing Program Director at Drexel University. The issue aims to present the latest research and practice on creativity as it pertains to writers and writing, which may include theoretical essays and research articles on technology measuring or advancing creativity or on the study of creative methods or practices as these pertain to writing; personal narratives on individual creative writing processes; and reflective practice contributions on teaching creative writing to college age students, adults, or children. The issue aims to break new ground in offering a comprehensive look, both practical and theoretical, at enhancing learners’ skills as creative thinkers and writers.
