Threads is an annual, international peer-reviewed journal of philosophy, which has been published by the Students’ Philosophy Society since 2013. Threads has provided, and continues to provide, an
opportunity for undergraduate and post-graduate students to present their thoughts within a published medium. The theme of Volume 5 shall be phenomenology, understood in a broad sense, and it shall be distributed in Malta, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and the United States of America. Confirmed contributors include students from Duqnesne University and the National University of Ireland, Galway, as well as staff from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. The Volume will also feature the work of an internationally renowned artist.
The Second Call is open to all with an interest in Philosophy who do not hold an academic post at tertiary level. Manuscripts may either be submitted by individuals, by co-authors, or by organisations. Submissions for the Second Call will be accepted until 1 July, 2017.
Manuscripts are to respect the theme of phenomenology, and should be informed by the Continental school of Western Philosophy, or by the Oriental tradition. If unsure whether your manuscript falls
within the scope of this Volume of the Journal, contact the General Editor at editorial@sps.org.mt with an abstract.
Manuscripts may make use of i.) original phenomenological research; ii.) the critical and/or interpretative examination of thinkers within the phenomenological tradition; iii.) the relation of, or use of, phenomenology to, or within, other disciplines; or iv.) the study of the history of phenomenological thought. It is imperative that all pieces be accessible to an audience which, whilst familiar with basic modes of philosophical inquiry, might not be familiar with the technical jargon of a given field. Attention should be given to the clear definition of any obscure or field-specific terminology.
All refereed contributions must be of the length of 3,000 to 5,000 words. Submissions must include a short abstract of around 100 words, and 5-6 key words, inserted into the appropriate fields during
online submission. Concision is appreciated.
Notwithstanding the emphasis on original research, contributions of a more general nature are also welcome. These contributions may be of a more expository or descriptive nature, but should avoid
paraphrase or facile treatment of existing work or debate. All such submissions must be of the length of 1,000 to 3,000 words.
Reviews of philosophical texts and critical or deconstructive analyses of books, films, artworks, and musical works are also welcome.
