Deadline - April 30, 2019

Mosaic invites innovative and interdisciplinary submissions for a special issue on the 40th anniversary of Roland Barthes鈥檚 Camera Lucida. We invite close readings informed by feminist and queer theory, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, postcolonial theory, critical race theory, and aesthetics. We are especially interested in essays focussing on memory; chiasms; mourning; singularity; the archive; time; allegory; analytics of life/death; genetics and genealogy; the relationship between image and text; comparative analysis between Walter Benjamin and Barthes; analysis that plays between Barthes鈥檚 book and his critical corpus; the influence of the book on specific moments in contemporary photography (i.e., New York, Vancouver, or Paris); and the question of what Camera Lucida leaves out of the equation. Finally, we invite artists to submit photo-based projects that extend, complicate, and enrich our understanding of Camera Lucida.

Mosaic follows an electronic submission process. If you would like to contribute an essay for review, please visit our website for details: . Email any submission questions to mosasub@umanitoba.ca. Submissions must be received by: April 30, 2019
