CFP - Re/Visioning Depression: Creative Approaches to “Feeling Bad”

Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Queen's University
Deadline: Thu, June 1st, 2017

What is depression? ... An “imagined sun, bright and black at the same time?” ... A “noonday demon?” ... A dead fish? In literature, comics, art, and film, we witness new conceptualizations of depression come into being. Unburdened by diagnostic criteria and pharmaceutical concerns, these media employ imagery, narrative, symbolism, and metaphor to forge imaginative, exploratory, and innovative representations of a range of experiences that might get called “depression.”

This anthology seeks scholarly and creative essays that rescue depression from totalizing psychiatric or psychological frameworks in order to produce new languages of and ways of thinking about depression.
