Reflections on technology throughout the twentieth century primarily focused on instrumental or anthropological accounts of machines, analog technologies, and industrial automation. With the emergence of powerful new digital technologies, contemporary reflections on technology have expanded significantly. They now encompass not only machines and artifacts but also entire ways of thinking, existing, and engaging with the world. In recent times, advancements in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic automation, behavioral analytics, and cloud computation have intensified the relevance of the question of technology. This question pertains to its nature and the relationships we establish with it. The Journal of Continental Philosophy ( https://www.pdcnet.org/jcp/Journal-of-Continental-Philosophy ) invites contributions to a special issue that explores this question in various forms, including: How have modern approaches to technology and technical knowledge transformed our unde...

A collective volume is being prepared on the scientific revolution, intended to be submitted to an international scholarly publisher. The aim is to reassess this historiographical category by coupling analyses of well-known texts and presenting new case studies (from the late medieval up to the early modern age), along with theoretical reflections on key notions that underpin the current views of the 'scientific revolution'. Abstracts of up to 500 words are welcome from potential contributors before August 1, 2023. Proposals should be sent to Marco Storni (Université Libre de Bruxelles).

A call for proposals is currently open for an edited collection titled 'Writing Artifacts.' The aim of this collection is to address a gap in writing studies by exploring the histories and uses of writing artifacts that reveal the material lives of those who interact with them. Scholars in writing studies, material culture studies, and related disciplines are invited to contribute to this collection, with a focus on building an archive of objects and possessions that hold significance in the study and practice of writing. For the purposes of this collection, a writing artifact refers to any material thing used in writing, including tools, implements, possessions, and both physical and digital objects. The collection seeks to examine a wide range of artifacts, such as personal possessions, communal objects, marginalized objects, and writing tools with limited knowledge. The goal is to uncover the diverse lives, writing histories, and practices of everyday people through the docu...
