Scholars are invited to make a submission forSkepsi- 在欧洲文化和语言学校（SECL）中生产的同行评审在线期刊。
Skepsi is run by SECL PhD/MA candidates, with the support of established and early career academics, and commits to publishing the work of postgraduate students and emerging scholars.
Following the recent success of ‘The Secret in Contemporary Theory, Society, and Culture’, a two-day postgraduate conference held at Kent, we are calling for contributions to a future issue of Skepsi.
为了捕捉和扩大“秘密”中广泛而跨学科的兴趣，我们正在寻求收集研究该主题的思想，探索，批评和理论。
在揭示政府在监视数百万对话的政府实践时，斯诺登案引发了公共和私人领域的定义突然动荡。它还促使我们质疑什么构成了什么秘密，以及当今社会中有什么功能秘密。
Some of the questions in which we are interested include: How does the formation of a secret inform, and how is it informed by, the boundary separating the private from the public sphere? What ethical issues are involved in questions of transparency, concealment, and revelation? Does the conventional understanding of the secret – rightly or wrongly – presuppose a hidden ‘truth’ buried beneath the lack of meaning at the level of language? Is the secret itself a function of something like Derrida’s ‘différance’, and therefore an illusion or mere surface-effect of language?
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following and their interrelations:
- 权力关系：秘密持有人与那些不知道或不知道的人之间可以存在哪种权力关系？谁疏远了？
- Sociological and anthropological approaches to secrets: collective and individual secrets and the question of surveillance; how secrets vary across cultures.
- 语言交流:解读text reveal its secret(s)? Or is there a semantic void within any text, the lack of a fixed signified or ‘secret’, which nonetheless generates its apparent meaning(s)? What is a coded language?
- Secrets in literature, and in the visual and plastic arts.
- Secret histories: subaltern and other marginalised histories; Nationalism, identity, and concealing or reinventing the past; the role of State secrets in history; how the definition and function of the secret has changed in history.
- 秘密的哲学方法（分析和大陆）：秘密存在吗？它们在逻辑上可能吗？秘密，语言和主体间性之间以及秘密与无意识之间的关系之间保持了哪些关系？
- 关于秘密的结构和功能的心理和心理分析观点。情绪反应（内gui，羞耻等）。
Submissions are invited from academic staff, postgraduate students and independent scholars.
