The Lincoln Humanities Journal is requesting submissions for its 5th special issue, to be published in November-December 2017, on the topic of Strangers, Foreigners and Aliens. Contributors are invited to examine (a) the issue of otherness as a philosophical and existential condition; (b) the reality and representations of immigrants and foreigners in the political discourse, the arts, the humanities, the media and the social sciences; (c) the ethical, cultural, political, and social ambivalence toward immigrants; and (d) the legal processes (local, national, international) by which people are made to feel outsiders / insiders.

 

We welcome approaches across a broad range of disciplines such as anthropology, political science, religion, popular culture, literature, philosophy, visual arts, and the media.

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Experience and concept of strangeness, the other, us and them
  • Diasporas, crossing borders, memories, identities
  • Representations of foreigners in literature, cinema, television, social media, political speech
  • Refugees, migrants, asylum seekers, outsiders, aliens, foreigners, travelers, bohemians, exiles, nomads
