Un appel à contribution est ouvert par Open Theology pour un numéro thématique "Violence of Non-Violence".We invite submissions that explore the ambiguous violence implicit in some acts of religious nonviolence, such as strict forms of asceticism and activist, conceivably militant, movements for nonviolence. Examples include civil disobedience and a variety of forms of staged protest, self-inflicted bodily harm, self-immolation, religiously-informed refusal to politically engage, etc. The field of focus is open. Papers might offer comparative studies, but also studies rooted in Western, Asian, African, or other religious traditions. Submissions are due by February 20. To submit an article for the special issue of Open Theology, please use the on-line submission system choosing as article type: “Special Issue Article: Violence of Non-Violence.” All contributions undergo a critical review before being accepted for publication.
