Hello,

I just wanted to share that IVC has extended our deadline for the submission for Issue 29, Beyond Love to January 31st.
Thank you for your time!

“Beyond Love” – Issue 29

For its twenty-ninth issue, InVisible Culture: An Electronic Journal for Visual Culture invites scholarly articles and creative works that address the complex and multiple meanings of love.

According to Freud, “it is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggressiveness.” Is love beyond us? Whether it connotes a delusion, state, obsession, rupture, failure, family, intimacy, or self, love eludes and mystifies. Mutable, primordial, and accumulable, it persists as a permanent horizon, accessible to everyone. In recent events the demand for love has emerged again and again, echoing the the failed and cyclical nature of past desires. Even as past desires are fulfilled--either by the state, the family, physically, spiritually--the hope for love remains, its forms and conceptions ever changing.

For IVC 29, we invite contributors to explore visual representations and contestations of the concept of love. What does love look like? How is it displayed? What are the conditions and/or/of possibilities for love? Where do we locate love’s value? Can love bear witness to violence? Are love, erotics and abjection mutually exclusive? What distinguishes love as either ideal or rational? Who or what dictates this categorical distinction and how do these types of love appear? We welcome papers that interrogate/excavate/trace love as concept and/or practice in visual culture.

Please send completed papers (with references following the guidelines from the Chicago Manual of Style) of between 4,000 and 10,000 words to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by January 31, 2018. Inquiries should be sent to the same address.
