Scope & Guideline
Unraveling Modern Identities in Social Inquiry
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Subjectivity and Identity Studies:
The journal emphasizes the exploration of subjectivity, often through lenses such as psychoanalysis, phenomenology, and critical theory. This includes discussions on how individual identities are constructed and understood within societal contexts. - Social Justice and Activism:
A significant focus is placed on themes of social justice, including anti-racism, feminism, and the implications of structural inequalities. The journal publishes works that advocate for marginalized voices and challenge oppressive narratives. - Collective Practices and Group Dynamics:
The dynamics of group work and collective practices are central to many articles. This includes examining the role of groups in psychological settings, education, and community engagement. - Cultural and Historical Contexts:
The journal often intersects psychological concepts with cultural and historical analyses, providing a rich context for understanding contemporary issues such as mental health, violence, and societal changes. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
ECOS encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, drawing from sociology, anthropology, law, and education to enrich discussions on subjectivity and human behavior.
Trending and Emerging
- Intersectionality and Social Dynamics:
Emerging discussions around intersectionality, particularly in relation to race, gender, and class, are becoming more prominent. This trend reflects a growing recognition of the complexities of identity and social justice. - Technological Impact on Subjectivity:
There is a rising interest in how technology influences subjectivity, including the psychological implications of digital interactions and the role of social media in shaping identity and community. - Collective Memory and Truth-Telling:
Themes surrounding collective memory, truth-telling, and historical narratives are increasingly featured. This is particularly relevant in contexts of social movements and struggles for recognition. - Environmental and Societal Resilience:
The journal is beginning to explore themes related to resilience in the face of environmental and societal crises, reflecting global concerns about sustainability and mental health. - Critical Pedagogy and Education:
There is a noticeable trend towards examining critical pedagogy and its implications for education, particularly in relation to social change and the empowerment of marginalized communities.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Psychological Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decrease in articles strictly adhering to traditional psychological methodologies, such as quantitative studies. Instead, a preference for qualitative and critical approaches has emerged. - Individualism in Psychological Discourse:
Themes focusing solely on individual experiences without social context are becoming less common. The journal is increasingly prioritizing collective experiences and the socio-political dimensions of subjectivity. - Historical Psychological Frameworks:
References to historical psychological frameworks, such as Freudian psychoanalysis in isolation, have diminished. The journal is moving towards integrating contemporary theories that address current social realities. - Conventional Mental Health Narratives:
There is a decline in articles that discuss mental health purely from a clinical perspective. The journal is shifting towards understanding mental health within broader socio-cultural and political frameworks.
