Call For Papers
Masks: Bowie and Artists of Artifice
Masks: Bowie and Artists of Artifice
Abstract due April 24, 2017
Masks: Bowie and Artists of Artifice is an interdisciplinary anthology that explores anew the complex relationship between fiction and fact, art and politics, eros and death, artist and audience within the performance of contemporary art and literature. This relationship is exemplified by – though not restricted to – the creative process, and will be explored through the life and work of Bowie and other liminal artists; artists whose oeuvres concretely enact the question of the mask. We organize the question under four headings: mask as performance, mask as social interface, mask as personal identity, mask as cross-roads (the shamanic, mystical, etc.).
We invite articles that analyze:
• The relationship of mask/persona and performance.
• The possible coherence of a philosophy of the surface in a world where existence precedes essence.
• The problem of authenticity.
• The relationship of (re)presentation to properly frame art as a pursuit with living social significance.
• The relationship between artist and their interpreting audience.
• The duality of art and artifice: artwork as double for the life, and the life as double for the work.
• The mask's ability to reveal as well as conceal.
• Myth as narrative performance.
• Life and art as contaminating "texts," in Derrida's sense.
• Theaters of performance: gender, religious and occult ritual, social belonging and community formation, politics in the "post-truth" age.
• Artists of particular interest: Yukio Mishima, Hunter S. Thompson, Aleister Crowley, Oscar Wilde, et al. Each piece should deal with at least one artist relevant to the question of the mask.
• Theorists of particular interest: Arendt, Foucault, Artaud, Baudrillard, Butler, Batailles, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, etc.
Submissions are invited from both academics and working artists and should not exceed 7500 words. Work should be double-spaced, citation by Endnotes in Chicago Style. Abstracts (250-word) and brief bio due by April 24, 2017. Manuscripts Due by November 1, 2017, emailed to:
