BURRASCA
magazine is currently accepting proposals for its forthcoming issue
#4 FAT/ANOREXIC.
Anorexia is usually defined as an eating disorder resulting from a pathologic desire of being thinner and thinner. In contradiction to this phenomenon, a high percentage of world’s population suffer of the opposite problem: overweight and – in some cases – its pathological manifestation: obesity. Both anorexia and the problem of being over-weight are related to today’s late-capitalist imaginary. An imaginary defined by architecture too.
The next issue of Burrasca will ask for contributions reflecting on how these terms can be referred to architecture. What is the relationship between the body, its contemporary fashion and architecture? Is there a relationship between anorexia and over-weight bodies and the contemporary manifestations of our disciplines? Is fat/anorexic a dialectic couple that can describe today’s architectural perversions and pathologies as well as its aesthetics and formalisms?
Burrasca accepts different kinds of contributions both textual (e.g. essays, interviews, articles etc.) and visual (photo-essays, graphics, illustrations or projects).
DEADLINES:
Abstracts due 24/01/2016
Final submissions due 29/02/2016.
