The static of friction is palpable, it shocks us daily. Below us, the
lithosphere steadily pushes against itself in a process of subduction, and above
ground a multiplicity of narratives and truths electrifies the air through
various frictions. Friction can generate resistances to power that take the form
of activism, protest, or rebellion. Friction is also a product of opposing
forces that come into contact to produce (dis)order, systems of repression, or
entropy. As anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing states in Friction: An
Ethnography of Global Connection (2005), “Speaking of friction is a reminder of
the importance of interaction in defining movement, cultural form, and
agency…Friction inflects historical trajectories, enabling, excluding, and
particularizing” (Tsing, 6). Currently, artists and scholars are engaging in
frictional dialogues which have the potential to produce new socio-symbolic
order(s). By acknowledging the power relations that are (de)constructing these
sites of frictional dialogue, conceptions of decolonization, the politics of
knowledge production, and placemaking seek to render the relational experiences
of people visible. For our upcoming issue tba encourages contributors to think
through convergence and divergence of bodies, concepts, and ideologies as they
explore friction. 

Topics can include, but are not limited to:

 * Mobility, displacement, migration and borders, transnationalism
 * Occupation, oppression
 * Seeking asylum, refugee experience
 * Human rights, activism, advocacy 
 * Diaspora(s) 
 * Governance, sovereignty, citizenship 
 * Hegemony, globalization, extractivism 
 * Colonialism/Postcolonialism 
 * Racism, racialization 
 * Indigeneity
 * Ethnophilosophy
 * Censorship
 * LGBTQ2S+ experience

We invite you to submit your work by June 15th, 2024. Submissions must be
completed through the journal’s website, which uses OJS software to ensure
anonymity to potential reviewers. Emailed submissions will not be accepted. If
you’re interested in supporting the review process, we are currently seeking
peer reviewers–we welcome you to get in touch at tbawestern@gmail.com with your
CV and research area(s).
