Call for Submissions and Invitation to Subscribe
SUNY Press is pleased to announce a new biannual journal: philoSOPHIA—a philosophical journal that intertwines the rich traditions and conceptual resources of continental philosophy and feminist theory. The journal is edited by Elaine Miller and Emily Zakin, both Associate Professors of Philosophy at Miami University of Ohio.
The inaugural issue features essays that explore animal imagery in Freud’s works, specifically with reference to the elision of the figure of the sister and the daughter in Freud’s works; argue that contemporary deconstructive accounts of corporeal vulnerability can be illuminated by Beauvoir’s account of the ethical problems posed by the experiential ambiguities of violence; bring Irigaray and Chodorow together to compare and partially synthesize their visions of the maternal and of mother-daughter relations; trace Kristeva’s engagement with Plato; and argue that Beauvoir’s account of aging illuminates not only becoming woman, but also an unbecoming of masculinity. Please see below for the tables of contents for the entire volume year.
The editors invite submissions from scholars who work at the intellectual and philosophical intersections of continental philosophy and feminist theory in the hope of opening a wider dialogue around a diverse array of questions concerning sexual difference, sexuate identity, women writing and being written about in philosophy, and the interrogation of canonical texts.
Please direct editorial questions to Dr. Miller (millerep@muohio.edu) and Dr. Zakin (zakinea@muohio.edu).

Kind regards,
SUNY Press
