Insurgency.

This is an open call for articles, inks, digital media, or audio files on the topic of insurgency.

Submission deadline is May 15th for concepts and June 15th for a final product.

Your work will appear in the first issue of Galeropia, a digital magazine produced by Why War?.   Galeropia's vision is a nonviolent theory and practice more potent than the prevailing reliance on polemics and death. Our method will be a targeted expansion of the movement's self-knowledge, aesthetics, and practice.  Each issue of  Galeropia will be released without prohibitive copyrights.

We invite all interested individuals to send a proposal, thesis, or sketch to submissions@galeropia.org by May 15, 2004.

Why War? is a nonprofit think-tank promoting counterthought.  Why War?'s work has consistently provoked intelligent and effective activism.  Our recent Diebold campaign sparked a national nonviolent disobedience campaign that was covered in every major newspaper and wire service in America. [1] We invite you to take part in our newest creation: Galeropia.

"Although it is true that this counterthought attests to an absolute solitude, it is an extremely populous solitude, like the desert itself, a solitude already intertwined with a people to come, one that invokes and awaits that people, existing only through it, though it is not yet here." - Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, "A Thousand Plateaus".

Questions about the flexibility of the deadlines or your topic should be sent to submissions@galeropia.org
