CALL FOR PAPERS
METAXY
PHILOSOPHY, ART AND RECOGNITION
PEER-REVIEWED SCHOLARLY JOURNAL
www.metaxyjournal.com
We present the call for papers for the third issue of «Metaxy: philosophy, art and
recognition», an international scientific journal edited by Città Nuova Editrice of
Rome, promoted by the international research group “Arte e riconoscimento” of
the International Human-being Research Center (IHRC), inter-departmental study
center based at the Università degli studi di Perugia. At the core of the scientific and
cultural interests of the journal is the consideration of art as a place of emergence and
manifestation of the potential that man, in every age, has put into action to reshape
new worlds and to affirm their practical and ethical consistency through the different
forms of the creative imagination. For this reason, it is a proper space or a relational
original fact: it represents and configures, for thought, the place of an ontology of
relation inside which a real interdisciplinary dialogue and encounter between
knowledges takes place.
The path that the IHRC study center and the «Metaxy: philosophy, art and
recognition” journal intend to open, supports the rethinking and the reinterpretation
of some previously traced paths from different perspectives, and is oriented to the
consideration of art in all its forms (poetry, visual arts, literature, music, theater and
dance) as a manifestation and sensitive form that reveals the profound needs of the
human and, therefore, a place of recognition of the latter. The link between art and
recognition indicates, in this perspective, the consideration of art as a metaxy that is
not only an intermediary, but the place of mediation or, rather, of relationships: space
in which the work of man reacquires and continues to assume the original sense of recreation
of a given world, of re-visitation of the latter and of the “traces'' that the
human itself has left there. Original space in which our being in the world occurs as
circulation of meaning according to a shared and non-ownable participative form.
The journal welcomes contributions oriented to the research lines outlined above, in
particular contributions that revolve around: the value of the places of art and the
space of art; the dynamics of listening, focusing on the themes and key concepts of
silence, sacred, mysticism, myth, nature, and the inner dimension of the human
production; the fact of art as a place of participation, social inclusion and integration
of cultures; the forms of narration and culture as spaces of recognition of the human.
Lastly, and fundamentally at the center of the journal’s interest there is art (original
relational fact) and the places of art (museum spaces, installations and works) which
are configured as “spaces” to rethink culture as a place of constant
attestation/redefinition of forms and models of humanism. Special contributions may
also concern readings and perspectives opened by specific productions and reviews
of monographies, exhibitions, events.
«Metaxy» has an annual frequency, alongside the publication of special issues or
notebooks of specific research topics and publishes with the golden open access
editorial model. The journal selects and welcomes contributions that interact
interdisciplinarily with the topics outlined above, with original proposals in form of
essays and reviews, subjected to the double-blind peer review. «Metaxy» respects the
independence of scientific research and the choices made by editorial committees, to
this purpose, at each phase of the publication process it adopts the guidelines of the
Committee on Publication Ethics.
