Call For Papers
Although reproduction in general may appear as a well-known process, when considered more closely it remains a complex phenomenon that encompasses, at least, biological, social, and political factors. To understand the diverse ways in which reproduction is conceptualized, practiced, and experienced, and to criticize or recommend certain ways, this special issue invites contributions from philosophical scholars regarding the nature of reproduction, in particular exploring the intersection of biological and social reproduction and their relation to the public sphere. Philosophical contribution emphasizing interdisciplinarity and intersectionality are particularly encouraged.
We welcome papers that address questions such as, but not limited to:
• What is the role of the public sphere in the social construction of reproduction, gender, and sexuality?
• How should we deal with the fact that cultural and historical factors shape our understanding of biological and social reproduction?
• How should we discuss rights to reproduction and health in relation to current social and economic policies?
• When inquiring into reproductive issues, what are the normative and conceptual implications in terms of social critique and political argument?
• What are the implications of reproductive work, reproductive justice movements etc. in relation to social and political philosophy?
• What is the significance of power in relation to reproductive concepts, practices and policies in the public sphere?
