a journal of social theory
Issue #14: Religion and Identity
The role of religion in the production of identity is not just a question of significant philosophical or theological importance but is one that possesses intriguing political, economic, and social implications as well. Scholars have long sought to understand the processes of religious identification, especially how religion is used to create, mediate, and resist social change. Exercises of religious power, ranging from fundamentalist to syncretic practices, are integral to the construction of personal, familial, community and national identities. The editorial collective seeks submissions that explore the intersection of religious practice and identity through both the written word and other artistic
media.
disClosure seeks artwork, fiction and poetry that explore issues of identity and religion, particularly the relationship between spiritual beliefs and social practices, within both mainstream and esoteric theologies and across both contemporary and historical time periods.
disClosure is a blind refereed journal produced in conjunction with the Committee on Social Theory at the University of Kentucky. The journal welcomes submissions from all theoretical perspectives and genres (scholarly articles, interviews, reviews, short fiction, poetry, artwork) and from
