Call for Papers, Vol. VI, Issue 2/2026, "Words"
For the second 2026 issue of our journal, we would like to continue to devote our attention to “WORDS.” It is not fortuitous that Wilhelm von Humboldt and Johann Gottfried Herder named man homo loquens. Indeed, the capacity to speak, to build a language, and to verbally communicate is essential and specific to the human species. Aristotle wrote that man alone among the animals is furnished with the faculty of language, and this is the foundation of moral reasoning, law, and community. We are zoon politikon because we can speak.
P’Arts’Hum invites scholars and academics to reflect on WORDS for all areas of Arts & Humanities. We look forward to original contributions that would bring more provocative insights for Vol. VI, issue 2/2026 of our academic journal Papers in Arts and Humanities.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
· Language and self-expression
· Language as the fabric of culture
· The art of words
· Poetic language
· Untranslatable words
· Words and silence
· Healing words - therapeutic discourse
· Visual words (ekphrasis)
· New speech and politics
· The Name of the Father and the symbolic order
We will continue with our Miscellanea section, for other inspired contributions on Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences that would not specifically address the issue of “WORDS.”
