Call for Papers
UNTITLED: Without a name or designation; undistinguished by honour or rank; deprived of a title; having no right or claim.
Title – in its various instantiations of name, identity, rank, ownership, or claim – has been used as a tool of imperialism, colonialism, and ongoing coloniality of power in the Americas. Title has moulded Latin American and Caribbean societies and impacted the lives of Latin American and Caribbean peoples in the region and diasporas. This themed issue of IYARIC aims to explore the metaphorical, legal, metaphysical and physical ways in which being or to be UNTITLED, historically and contemporarily, created, negated and transformed geographies, knowledge systems, and subjectivities in Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas. It also explores the politics of knowledge production about and in the region, engaging authors in the communal praxis of naming, building, contesting and deconstructing the intellectual and political projects that spaces and sites such as the IYARIC Journal represent.
The Editors invite submissions of critical essays, field notes, roundtables, creative works (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, visual art, photo-essays, music lyrics), interviews, and analyses of books, art, music, and film. We welcome submissions from graduate students, independent scholars, artists/writers working outside and beyond the university, activists and community workers. Please review the detailed submission guidelines at iyaric.journals.yorku.ca
Deadline: December 6, 2025
