Theory and Life: The Possibilities of Togetherness

Deadline: March 20th, 2024

Editors: Gülçin Ayıtgu Metin – Gözde Kıral Uçar- Şeyma Sağdıç Güven

As ViraVerita, we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a 2-day symposium on November 24-25, 2023 with the theme "Theory and Life: The Possibilities of Togetherness". Once again, we would like to thank everyone who contributed with their valuable contributions with presentations, questions and discussions throughout the symposium. However, we know that it is not possible to limit the unity of theory and life to two days.

While starting our publishing life, the Journal aimed to be "the ground for different intellectual encounters that speak about all areas of life by pushing the boundaries of theory imprisoned in academia and academic language". With the same motto, we keep questioning Theory and Life: The Possibilities of Togetherness this time in our E-Journal and invite you to discuss the relationship between theory and life, the nature of the impact of theory on life, and how life is handled in theory in an interdisciplinary way. In addition, we would like to bring to a much wider audience the works that have contributed to the symposium and/or whose abstracts we could not include in the symposium program due to the intensity of the symposium, and to deepen the discussions started in the symposium.

You can send us your studies, including but not limited to the following topic suggestions, by March 20, 2024 via Dergipark in accordance with the ViraVerita E-Journal writing and publication rules.
