21 Feb 2026 ŠUM Journal - #27 & #28 - ‘Cults’

Paid opportunity (300 EUR)

This open call investigates how the figure of the cult allows us to think more rigorously about the formation, transmission, and normalization of belief. How do minimal collectives produce epistemological shifts that later appear as naturalized worldviews? What does the cult reveal about the memetic power of ideas, their infectious capacity, and the conditions under which they become dominant?

We invite contributions that engage with conspiracy / occultism as a historical, aesthetic, political, and epistemological structure—prior to, during, or beyond the moment of total contagion—and that examine its role in shaping contemporary culture and its possible futures.

12 Mar 2026 The Journal of Architecture - This IS Architecture. Notes from the Field*

Deadline: rolling, across 2026 and into early 2027. Reviewed on a rolling basis.

In 2026, as it marks thirty years of publication, the Journal of Architecture invites contributions to ‘This IS Architecture. Notes from the Field’: concise, rigorously framed reports and reflections that document how architectural research, and research on architecture, becomes public through events and practices around the world. We seek situated writing that shows why a given event or practice is timely where it happens, how it speaks to the climate emergency and related socioeconomic and ecological crises, and in what ways it sets trajectories for research, pedagogy, policy, or practice. Rather than asking whether something is ‘architectural’, the strand asks what kinds of practices, events, and inquiries matter for the ways we inhabit and organise space. ​ A ‘Note from the Field’ is short-form and accessible, yet grounded. Authors are encouraged to write from participation or close observation, to foreground local actors and knowledges, and to articulate stakes and implications with clarity. We welcome contributions from researchers, practitioners, educators, collectives, curators, activists, policy workers, and community partners. Notes may emerge from exhibitions, installations, design studios, field schools, research projects, public programmes, policy processes, activist work, or situations where architectural knowledge – including that which emerges outside conventional boundaries of the discipline – is produced, contested or mobilised.

15 Mar 2026 CFP: Maps and the Imagination - Special Issue, Imago Mundi: The International Journal for the History of Cartography

By exploring the map-imagination nexus, this issue engages questions ranging from the practical to the philosophical: What do maps do for acts of creativity, and conversely, what does the imagination want from maps? How do maps help making and knowing imagined selves and communities? How does the image, rhetoric, and materiality of maps influence creative practices, be it for imagining social and political contexts, or for texts creating compelling stories ranging from classic epics and romance fiction to fantasy novels and climate fiction? How do methods and theories of historical cartography and forms of imagined thinking complement each other? How have the materiality and technology of mapmaking informed imagined subjects and subjectivities, and conversely how do expressions of the imagination allow us to rethink the nature of maps?

23 Mar 2026 CFP: Journal of Architectural Education - 80:1-2 - The Future of Architectural Education

This double issue of the Journal of Architectural Education will celebrate the core mission of the JAE: advancing architectural education through thoughtful analysis, critique, and reflection. We are calling for papers, projects, and articles that address the future of architectural education. This comes at a critical moment. Higher education faces many challenges, including declining domestic and international student enrollments, eroding public support, rising economic uncertainty, and increasing student debt. At the same time, architectural education confronts a number of related concerns, such as reduced student demand, challenges to equity and sustainability efforts, expanded support for alternative paths to licensure, shifting expectations on the part of students, and rapid advances in disruptive technologies affecting the profession and the building industry.

24 Mar 2026 Journal of Design History - Call for submissions for Explorations

Explorations editors accept proposals for reflective writing pieces, interviews, position papers, meditations, practitioner statements, educator statements, letters, reflections on methods, among other formats. Submissions can be visually led, include videos, audio files and other media-based material. They should be 1,500–4,000 in length (excluding endnotes) and do not have a prescribed number of images. Explorations pieces are published in the Journal of Design History’s webpages on the Oxford University Press website. Contributions have their own DOI, are published as advanced articles, and are associated to a specific issue of the journal.

Explorations

As design gains significance in the major debates around our past, present, and future, the Explorations section of the Journal of Design History seeks to nurture innovative, experimental, and creative interventions in researching and writing about design and its histories. The Explorations section aims to:

  • Support experimentation with new or alternative forms of scholarly communication, collaborative writing and/or interdisciplinarity.
  • Extend the JDH’s authorship and readership base, supporting early career researchers, emerging and future scholarship.
  • Diversify research dissemination and promote timely responses to key debates.

24 Mar 2026 Journal of Design History - Call for proposals for Virtual Special Issues

07 Apr 2026 CFP: Special Issue: Decoloniality in Media and Cultural Studies: Looking Back, Looking Forward

International Journal of Cultural Studies

10 Apr 2026 TRANS 49 - Left

Together in issue 49 we look to the left side. What is left beyond an orientation? What else is there besides the right and the straight? Leave us directions towards alternative futures and leftist visions of the past; show us the left side of a floorplan; write with your left hand; tell us sinister stories and eat up the leftovers of yesterday; focus on the weaker side of yourself.

15 Apr 2026 CFP: Design Anthropology: Designing for Radical Alternative Futures - Special Issue of Design and Culture Journal

How can design anthropology contribute to addressing the contemporary polycrisis and the shaping of social transformation and radical alternative futures at scale?

This special issue explores the potential of design anthropology as a transdisciplinary, interventional, future-oriented research field committed to co-creating socio-cultural change and fostering sustainable and just worlds. It asks how design anthropology can mobilize localized knowledge, cultivate collaborative approaches, and employ imaginative speculation to confront interconnected global challenges and envision larger-scale alternative futures, and it examines how it does and might do so.

20 Apr 2026 Call for External Editors: PARSE (Platform for Artistic Research Sweden)

PARSE (Platform for Artistic Research Sweden) is an online international artistic research publishing platform based in The Artistic Faculty at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. PARSE publishes open access research and organises events which facilitate dialogue, publication and open peer review. Our multidisciplinary content aims to address academics, artists and art audiences who are curious about the contribution of research to the arts, and the contribution of the arts to knowledge-making. As an exclusively digital platform, our purpose is to foster, publish and archive research across international contexts. PARSE aims for an openness towards content and format and provides resources to experiment with these in the editorial process. PARSE is run by a small working group who are interested in developing and learning through working with external editors.

PARSE invites submissions for external editors to propose content for a journal issue. Two proposals will be selected, one to be published in Autumn 2027 and one in Spring 2028. We are looking for proposals which collapse clear subject and disciplinary distinctions and demonstrate a desire to allow different knowledge forms to meet. We wish to work with editors who think of publishing not only as a form of dissemination but as a process through which forms of writing as well as themes are experimented with. We invite interested applicants to look through previous PARSE issues as well as our guidelines on article format, as the working group is particularly interested in proposals that expand the thematic reach of the journal and put forward article formats which contribute to the development of the field of artistic research.

01 May 2026 Antennae Journal #69 - Impossible Archives

This issue of Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture, co-edited by Giovanni Aloi and Cristina Baldacci, invites submissions that think creatively about archives of all kinds, especially those entangled with nature, ecology, the more-than-human, and the visual cultures that surround them. In part inspired by Baldacci’s book Archivi Impossibili (2016), the issue is interested not only in archives that preserve, protect, and classify, but also in those that resist and challenge boundaries, hierarchies and order: archives that are fragmentary, speculative, excessive, illegible, ephemeral, sensorial, living, or deliberately “impossible”, since they undermine the idea of archives of modern origin. What happens when the archive is no longer a guarantee of truth but a contested field, one shaped by extraction, erasure, environmental transformation, and competing claims to belonging?

01 May 2026 CFP: CLARA #14: Uncertainties

Clara is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal in architecture dedicated to topics, research methods, and tools specific to the field. Each issue comprises a main thematic section proposed by guest editors, and two additional sections: Archives, with articles based on the exploration of archival documents, and Position(s), with articles that take a stance on current developments or events in architecture.

14 May 2026 CFP: The Grammar of Art, Kunstlicht Vol. 47, no 3/4

What does it mean to read art—not as image, but as language? And what if language itself is unstable, embodied, coded, or even resistant to being read at all?

For our next issue of Kunstlicht, we are looking for submissions that address the historical, situated, embodied, and fractured conditions of language in art, moving between theoretical and philosophical perspectives that situate particular linguistic and cultural ruptures, and artworks that test the limits of language as a tool.

31 May 2026 CFP: The agency of images in the cognitive ecology of artificial intelligence

ASRI Journal, special issue 31

This volume of ASRI Journal. Art and Society invites academics and visual artists, at any stage of their career, to contribute research and practices that explore the epistemic and ontological relationships and differences between the agency of AI-generated images and the agency of art images, as well as the role of artistic practice in critiquing and visualising the socio-technological conditions of visual culture in the age of GenAI.

01 Jun 2026 CFP: Thresholds 55: Property

MIT Department of Architecture Journal Thresholds 55: Property

Property: a thing, often material, that is possessed. Property: an aspect or attribute of that thing.

While seemingly concrete, the concept of property is frequently fragmentary, contingent, and ephemeral, premised in an array of theoretical descriptions. Property is constructed through social relationships and defined through reciprocal accord. These social dynamics highlight the proximity of property to power through its delimitation of rights to access, possession, and exclusion. Ideas of property have been foundational in both western and non-western frameworks of culture and law, implicated in understandings of individual autonomy, rights, and the economy. From the enclosure of land to its representation in painting, from waqf funds to development mechanisms to environmental protection, to labor, protest, and repatriation, imaginaries of property have shaped art and architecture through history and across geographies. Thresholds 55 invites scholarly writing, criticism, and artistic interventions that interrogate these interactions.

21 Jun 2026 CFP: Model and the Reactor: AI as and against Environmental Media

Abstracts accepted in EN, ES, PT

This special issue questions the imbrication of AI and digital sovereignty at work in new articulations of technological nationalism (Charland, 1986; Couture & Toupin, 2019; Grohmann & Costa Barbosa, 2025; Medina, 2011). Theories of the digital sublime and charismatic technologies have long been used to legitimate technologies as social blueprints (Ames, 2019; Carey & Quirk, 1970; Mosco, 2004), but AI arrives at a moment of critical duress for social epistemologies usually found in journalism seem incapable or unable to counter the sociotechnical futures produced by big AI (Bareis & Katzenbach, 2021; Dandurand et al., 2023; Liebig et al., 2024; Valderrama Barragán et al., 2025). We encourage contributions that unite fragmented scholarship as a counterpoint to Big Tech’s global, competitive cyberphysical project (Lai et al., 2026; Salamanca, 2025).

21 Jun 2026 CFP: Cornell Journal of Architecture Issue 14 - Spare

The theme for the next issue of the Cornell Journal of Architecture is “Spare.” Spare exists in anticipation: of use, of need, of loss, of return. Something fails. Someone arrives. Something secondary becomes essential. A spare points to the unexpected possibilities within the present. In changing conditions, the spare—all but nominal—supersedes the original.

27 Jun 2026 CFP: LA+ ‘FIELD’

The word field conveys the idea of a space or place—physical, conceptual, or operational—within which relationships, forces, or activities occur. Field refers equally to perception—such as the fields of vision and sensing through which landscapes are seen and experienced—and to action, as in fieldwork from which observations build knowledge and/or which grounds theory in lived, material conditions. In scientific and cultural contexts, a field describes the networks of forces, relations, and influences operating across space and time. In educational and professional contexts, it defines what constitutes the methods and domain of a discipline. Together, these meanings establish the field as a dynamic interplay between thinking, knowing, making, and doing.

LA+ FIELD invites submissions that explore the concept of field in landscape architecture. We seek critical, theoretical, and practice-based perspectives organized around three interrelated categories: Field as Discipline, Field of Perception, and Field Work. Field as Discipline might examine landscape architecture’s intellectual, professional, and institutional terrain, including its boundaries, methods, histories, and evolution in response to environmental and social changes. Topics in Field of Perception may elucidate specific methods and techniques that shape the ways in which landscapes are sensed, experienced, interpreted, and represented. Field Work could engage material practices of observation, measurement, and intervention, including more-than-human studies, site-based experiments, and questions about relations, labor, and care. Priority will be given to abstracts that explore how two or more of these domains intersect and how they affirm or expand contemporary understandings of landscape architecture.
