The journal “Genesis” – https://www.viella.it/riviste/testata/6 – calls for contributions to a monographic issue that analyse – from a gender sensitive perspective – the impact of crossing confessional and religious borders, of mobility, and of voluntary or forced migration on self-definition and on definitions of religious identity. Contributions may come from periods ranging from the late middle ages to contemporary history.
Emigration and exile, in the dialectic between displacement and opportunity, enable reflections on the very concept of religious identity. The historiographical investigation on the estrangement provoked by confrontation with a different culture, on strategies of adapting to a new context, and on the conflicts generated by encounters between different cultures may contribute to reflection on the 'performative' aspects and fluidity of the construction of confessional identities. In recent historiography on cultural transfers and contact zones, the key role of the go-betweens and brokers has been emphasized. Along the lines of these works, contributions will be accepted which inquire into either 1) the strategies of self-presentation in the religious sphere of men and women who have left their homeland voluntarily or involuntarily, permanently or temporarily; or 2) the historical impact of the presence of foreigners on the re-definition of the host society's religious identity. At the centre of this inquiry are questions regarding the social relations that were built because of mobility and that were maintained or cut off across distance. These include experiences of loneliness, officialised relations, and the creation or reinforcement of emotional and family ties. We invite proposals for case studies or comparative investigations that explicitly pose the question of gender construction and/or analyse the specificities related to gender. Within this framework, it should be taken into account that journey, exile, and migration represent very diverse typologies of mobility. The contributions may present either case studies that reflect on the performativity of religious identity from a gender perspective or more general theoretical reflections, covering a chronological span from the early modern to the contemporary period.
The monographic issue will particularly highlight the following fields of interest:
– In the available sources, how is the question of religious/cultural identity articulated? What agency is attributed to men and women in ego-documents containing travel accounts? What influence do the readers’ expectations have on the presentation of these accounts?
– What impact do phenomena of migration have on religious practices?
– How do the reports describe the diaspora communities in their host societies and their supranational connections? Who are the mediators and translators?
– How can the analytical categories of hybridisation and mestizaje contribute to the understanding of the processes and temporalities of individual and communitarian construction of religious identity?
– How is the question of mobility and the materiality of the journey (by land or by sea) addressed in the sources? In which ways do the conditions of the journey create and split groups, particularly in terms of gender? (Travels and pilgrimages by lone women and lone men, promiscuity and cohabitation)
– How is the question of religious/cultural identity addressed when leaving ones country by choice or by force/obligation (because of economic necessity or for other reasons)?
– How extensively do travel accounts refer to models in literature, family accounts, or hagiography and to what extent do they distance themselves from them?
– When and how do conflicts emerge from mobility?
– What regulations with disciplinary force are put into place by the religious/state authorities? Which dialectic is established between these authorities and the subjects under the control of those institutions?

Proposals should be sent by e-mail to the editors Xenia von Tippelskirch (xenia.vontippelskirch@hu-berlin.de) and Stefano Villani (villani@umd.edu) by 30/03/2017 and should contain an abstract (max 3.000 characters) and a brief academic profile of the author with a list of her/his publications. Authors whose proposals are selected for possible publication must send their articles – in Italian, French, or English – (max 50,000 characters, spaces and footnotes included) by 20/05/2017. Articles will be submitted to the editorial board’s scrutiny and to a double blind peer review. The publication of the issue is expected for the end of the year 2017.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Dapim: Studies on the Holocaust
Fascism, Extremism, and Extermination
Editors: Dr. Ishay Landa (Guest Editor) and Dr. Michal Aharony
The paradigmatic genocidal campaign in modern history, the Holocaust, was the product of a regime considered by many, but not all, historians to have been a “fascist” one. But what was the precise relation between fascism and extermination? Was there something distinctly fascist about the National Socialist eliminationist impulse, as some historians argue? Or was it, as others have claimed, a unique feature of National Socialism, the outcome of a racist obsession so pervasive as to set Nazism apart from all other fascist regimes and ideologies? Violence and extremism are regularly associated with interwar fascism, but often in ways that eschew a comparative perspective and merely presuppose, but do not accord sustained attention to the specificities of fascist violence. The aim of this special volume of Dapim is to zoom in on the question of fascist extremism up to, and including, extermination. The board of Dapim therefore invites scholars in various disciplines (such as Holocaust studies, history, philosophy, and sociology), to submit proposals for essays that offer innovative perspectives on themes and questions that include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
– Was there in so-called generic fascism a general tendency to strive to physically eliminate the enemies, real or imagined?
Do the Holocaust and the genocidal campaigns against the Roma and Sinti attest to the sui generis nature of Nazism?
Or did they, rather, form the utmost expression of a broader logic underpinning the fascist experience?
– How should fascist extremism/extermination best be conceived?
Was it, for instance, the result of a revolt against civilization, the product of a de-civilizing process (Norbert Elias)?
In contrast, was it an exacerbation of a genocidal pattern inherent in Western civilization?
– Was fascist violence indeed distinguished from that meted out by other modern regimes, and if so, in what ways?
How did fascism innovate in that sphere when compared to eliminationist practices and theories in Western history? Was it the culmination of Western racism and imperialist aggression, or did it qualitatively leap beyond them?
How does it stand when compared to non-Western cases, and to pre-modern history?
– What were the main forces propelling fascist extremism/extermination: Economic? Demographic? Cultural?
– Comparative perspectives on specific cases of extremism/extermination, either between different fascist regimes or between fascist and non-fascist cases.
– Extremism/extermination as conceived and/or prefigured by important (proto-) fascist authors and politicians.
Deadline:
The deadline to submit proposals is May 1, 2017. Titles and abstracts (300 words max.) and a short bio (200 words) should be submitted in Word format to: dapim_h@univ.haifa.ac.il
The deadline to submit the articles is January 1, 2018.
