JSAS FALL 2021: INDIGENEITY
This volume seeks to explore transcultural and interdisciplinary conversations around the theme of indigeneity, the indigenous experience, and trans-indigeneity (broadly defined), with an emphasis on frameworks that create dialogues of healing. The volume encourages, but is not limited to, contributions that have a focus on Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabagh) from any period, examined through the lens of: cultural preservation; folk, literary and cultural accounts; language, translation, and appropriation; identity and trauma studies; & plant-based and spiritual healing rituals and practices.
Studies that engage with the theme of indigeneity in one or more of the following frameworks are also highly encouraged:
-subaltern studies
-postcolonial studies
-oral and literary customs and practices
-art as healing (all forms)
-plants, the earth, and the land as healing
-specularity
-ethnohistory
-“Indigenous futurism”
-(de)legitimization
-origins, ancestry, and mythical consciousness of people and land
-space and place (theory & testimony)
-comparative studies with other indigenous groups
-the potential overlap of indigeneity and nationalism
Extended Submission Deadline: 2 October, 2021
