Open call for submissions
ART/E/FACT encourages artists and anthropologists to submit essays and media productions from their own studies or portfolios that identify connections between anthropology and art. The benefit of this collaboration is the exploration of the space between artistic mediums and anthropological methodology.

We have just launched our website at: artefactpublication.com. The launch of the site coincides with the international call for submissions. We are asking for contributions from filmmakers, photographers, sound recordists, artists and anthropologists that demonstrate how anthropology and art intersect.
All submissions chosen will receive both academic recognition and exposure amongst artists. This is a unique opportunity for artists and anthropologists to collaborate and communicate with one another.

Special issue call for papers: Islamic Law: Society, Culture and State
Guest Editor, Sabrina Joseph, Zayed University, Dubai
Papers are invited that deal with the intersection between Islamic law and society particularly as it pertains to such issues as: the status of women and/or family law, property rights, land tenure, criminal law, finance/economy, and inter-faith relations. Papers from all periods of history and all disciplines are welcome, as are papers that examine the impact of Islamic law in western contexts. Questions that are of particular interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- How is the law a ‘living law’? To what extent have legal thinkers integrated custom into the lawmaking process?
- To what extent has the law provided an arena for individuals of different religions to negotiate and/or settle their disputes?
- What sort of relationship has existed between the various schools of law and have legal thinkers drawn upon schools of law other than their own in formulating laws?
- To what extent have Western legal systems accommodated Islamic law? What impact has this had on notions of citizenship and minority rights?
- How have state law/secular law and shari’a overlapped and/or informed one another in the lawmaking process? How has this relationship evolved over time?
Please submit your paper (6,000 to 10,000) in MS Word format to Sabrina.joseph@zu.ac.ae Submissions should include a cover letter to the editor describing the work in approximately one hundred words. CFP deadline: July 01, 2012.

Peace Review: A Journal of Social Justice
Special issue theme: Can Cyprus Be Solved?
Peace Review: A Journal of Social Justice (Routledge) is an international journal distributed in more than fifty nations. We seek essays on the above theme for a special issue. For almost sixty years, the United Nations has sought to bridge the gap between the Greek and Turkish communities in Cyprus. However, repeated efforts, conducted under the auspices of six Secretaries-General, have failed to bring about a comprehensive peace settlement. As a result, the island has now become a byword for an intractable, if not wholly insoluble, ethnic conflict. As yet another peace process appears to be on the verge of stalling, many observers are now starting to ask whether a settlement will ever be found.
Under the guest editorship of James Ker-Lindsay (London School of Economics and Political Science), Peace Review: A Journal of Social Justice is dedicating issue 24.4 to examining the following question: Can Cyprus be solved?
In order to answer this question, a range of different perspectives is being sought from scholars, policy makers, civil society activists, and other interested and relevant observers. While each contribution should provide an answer to the question, there are no limitations on the focus of the response. Contributors may wish to concentrate on a specific issue, such as property or security, or address some broader overarching factors that have made a solution difficult to achieve, such as the conflict resolution techniques used by particular outside actors or the underlying tactics adopted by one of the parties to the conflict. Indeed, contributors may even want to challenge what we mean by the term "solution." The only fixed requirements are that the specific question is addressed, and that the answer is clear, coherent, well-structured, and convincingly argued.
Interested writers should submit essays (2,500-3,500 words) and 2-3 line bios to Peace Review at peacereview@usfca.edu. Essays should be jargon- and footnote-free. See Submission Guidelines at http://usf.usfca.edu/peacereview/guidelines.htm.
Peace Review is a quarterly, multidisciplinary transnational journal of research and analysis focusing on the current issues and controversies that underlie the promotion of a more peaceful world. We publish essays on ideas and research in peace studies, broadly defined. Essays are relatively short (2,500-3,500 words), contain no footnotes or exhaustive bibliography, and are intended for a wide readership. The journal is most interested in the cultural and political issues surrounding conflicts occurring between nations and peoples. Submissions deadline: July 15, 2012.
