OPEN CALL: Konesh Journal (online and print)

 

We publish an Open Call for the Konesh Journal on a specific focus theme every couple of months. When responding to the Open Call, please follow our submission guidelines.

 

 

ONGOING SUBMISSIONS: Konesh Blog (online)

 

We welcome abstracts at any time in response to Konesh’s ongoing themes:

 

  • Urban transformation and shape-shifting terrains: documenting, tracing and archiving the historicity and ongoing transformation of spaces, landscapes and cities

  • Critical and creative spatial practices: on the role of performances and cultural interventions for intervening in the fabric of cities and sites and their activist potentials and tools.

  • Artistic and design responses to ecological deterioration and environmental stress

  • Feminist, anti-racist and de-colonial responses to urban design and life in cities as well as to the use of planetary resources

 

Also make sure you follow our submissions guidelines outlined below.

Citations

 

Authors should use the author-date system for citations: (Corker and French, 1999; McDowell, 1999, 96-122; Bell et al., 1994)

 

Within the text, use “quotation marks” for citing. Use italic for non-English, foreign words or terms and for the purpose of emphasizing (ex. thinking about how we listen rather than why?). Also use italic when including titles of books or other texts.

 

Spelling

 

There is no spelling style preferred. Consistency within the manuscript is expected. It is also expected that your text is submitted fully proof read.

 

Acknowledgments

 

Acknowledgments are to be included at the end of the body of the text, before the list of references.

Footnotes

 

Footnotes are to be used sparingly and placed at the bottom of the page. Please use footnotes rather than endnotes and use Arabic numerals.

References

 

List references alphabetically at the end of the manuscript. For more than one entry with same author(s) and date, use letters to distinguish them, e.g. 1999a, 1999b, 1999c. Arrange entries under a particular author's name chronologically, with the most recent listed first. All authors' names are to be part of the entry.
