Issues on the horizon: politics of leisure, stereotypes, anarchy and worship
Here is a lineup of themes that we’ll be covering in the months to come. Please note, this is a rough outline only and is subject to change according to editors’ discretion. Of course each issue has regular sections in which non-thematic material may fit: Culturosities, News, Reviews and Experiments. We welcome pitches for those as well. - Aiden Enns, editor
Geez 26 – the politics of leisure. Everyone needs a break sometimes, but even leisure is political. Are eco-tourism, tourist missionaries and stay-cations important innovations or just frugal fallout from the latest financial crisis? What’s your idea of post-capitalist fun? We welcome your ideas for our summer issue on the politics of leisure. See the Geez 26 call for pitches here.
Geez 27 – stereotypes: they actually build community, or do they? Unfortunately, these negative social structures operate among us by default. What are they, what do we do about them? Ever been the victim of a stereotype? Tell us about it.
Geez 28 – worship and anarchy: how can we give ourselves over to something greater without sacrificing our autonomy? What’s most helpful for a community of resistance? Can we, should we, worship a heavenly king when the metaphor stinks of feudalism and tyranny? But grassroots alternatives are flat, uninspiring, no? (Note, some topics may change.)
