<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Building upon our previous work, The Postcolonialist seeks new
submissions for its next issue, “Postcolonial Apertures: Horizons of
(De)Coloniality.” Recent years have seen critical changes occur across
postcolonial regions, forcing new conceptualizations of historical
accounts, national and cultural narratives, and media discourse, along
with a (re)deployment and rejection of narrative tropes. Massive forced
migrations, economic and climate changes, and the specter of political
violence have given way to a discourse of crisis. As we unpack current
debates, we invite pieces that work with and against the terms colonial,
postcolonial, and decolonial, thus redrawing the contours of current
debates on postcolonialism and its legacies. Creative work,
photography/painting series, essays, and academic writing are
encouraged, as we seek to explore the intersection of the arts, media,
and academic endeavors.
<p>The Postcolonialist is alternative and interactive avenue by which
scholars, journalists, artists, and activists from around the world can
collaborate and engage in dialogues of culture, power, and civil society
in Postcolonial regions (encompassing the Americas, the Caribbean,
Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Diasporic communities, and indeed the
ex-métropoles). With a focus on multi-lingual and cross-regional work,
The Postcolonialist endeavors to view the global South and its diaspora
in concert. We seek to displace notions of “center” and “periphery,”
instead showcasing the artistry, innovation, and critical production of
postcolonial regions and peoples as constitutive of and central to a
globally interconnected future.</p>
<p>The Postcolonialist welcomes contributions across disciplines and
genres. While most contributions will be in English, submissions are
welcome in French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Artwork, relevant
interviews, and photography may also be welcome, though an initial
proposal is typically submitted. Please include biographical information
separately for peer reviewed academic submissions. Shorter pieces may
be up to 1,500 words, while feature or scholarly articles may be up to
6,000 words. A short bio should be included with the submission. Areas
of interest include but are not limited to: 1. Arts and society
(includes literature and film); 2. Gender and political participation;
3. Education; 4. Immigration and diaspora; 5. Civil society and the
international stage; 6. Media and the global South; 7. Citizenship and
identity; 8. Language, multi-lingualism, and language hierarchies; 9.
emerging markets.</p>
