The Journal invites contributions for its third issue: “Social closure”. Authors are invited to explore the differentiation of “us” from “them”, its transformation and trespassing in various social classifications invoking gender, ethnicity, occupation, lifestyles, body shapes, beliefs, or other marks.
The Call for papers invites contributions that clarify, for Journal readers, the social processes involved in social closure and social openings. Some of the topics which may be of interest in this reflection include, among others:
- How are groups and group identities shaped and transformed?
- How are social borders created, maintained, transformed, discarded, or ignored?
- What repertoires of norms regulate border crossings?
- How do individuals approach social borders and their rules of usage?
- How do moral concepts and judgments relate to processes of social closure?
- Does social closure shape in any way the process of sociological or anthropological research?
