Is the historical event described in Heidegger’s philosophy something we can endeavour to bring about, or will we have to wait for it to be handed down to us? Inscriptions, an international journal of contemporary thinking on art, philosophy, and psycho-analysis, invites contributions to our upcoming issue on Being and Event (vol. 5, no. 1).

How do we live well and ethically in our present technological fix? This is the key question when we interrogate Socrates’ technē, a posthuman theory for computational objects, and how to live and work in a technological-scientific world order. Conceptual, performative and absurdist artwork, curated by our guest editor Marjorie Vecchio explores how to live and die well in a multispecies symbiosis on a damaged planet.

Inscriptions was so good, even though I don't even know anything about psychoanalysis or philosophy. Onya, as we say in Australia (good on you).
