CFP 2/2023 The Philosophy of Television Series
Guest editors: Mario Slugan (Queen Mary University of London) and Enrico Terrone (Università di Genova)
Deadline for submission: 1 April 2022
It is often said that television series are nowadays as good as films, or even better than them, but the philosophical inquiry into the former remains much less developed than the philosophy of film. A handful of recent books have tried to fill the gap, but there is much work still to be done. Significant contributions to the aesthetics of television series are coming from television studies and film studies, raising issues which philosophers are challenged to address. The special issue of Rivista di estetica looks for philosophical perspectives on television series with the aim of exploring this new fascinating area of research in which aesthetics and media studies can fruitfully interact. Topics for papers may include but are not limited to the following:
- Is TV series a self-standing form of art or is it to be traced back to the cinema?
- What is the relationship between television series and films?
- What is the relationship between television series and other forms of television (e.g. talk shows, reality shows, news)?
- What sets the Golden Age of Television (Peak Television) apart from the preceding era?
- Is there a narrative specificity of television series?
- What is the effect of seriality/seasonality on television series?
- How are television series related to other serial narratives such as comics?
- How do television series deal with the system of film genres?
- The fiction/nonfiction divide in television series.
- The antihero and the antiheroine as outstanding characters in television series
- Philosophical themes in television series
Instructions: Articles must be written in English and should not exceed 30.000 characters.

CFP 3/2023 Ontology of Finance
Title: Ontology of Finance
Guest editors: Gloria Sansò (University at Buffalo) and Barry Smith (University at Buffalo)
Deadline for submission: 30 June 2022
One famous scene in The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) is the dialogue between the young Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) and the expert trader Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey). Hanna is complaining that the stock market is unpredictable; it’s “fugazi … it’s fairy dust. It doesn’t exist. It’s never landed. It is not matter. It’s not on the element chart. It’s not real”. But the fact that something is unpredictable and non-physical does not imply that it does not exist. On the other hand, its unpredictability, non-physicality, and the fact that the stock market trend is largely determined by investors’ beliefs, do make its nature difficult to grasp.
This special issue of Rivista di Estetica aims to explore the financial sector from an ontological point of view. While the ontology of money has been extensively studied, few scholars have focused on the stock market and, more generally, on those entities belonging to the investment landscape. Matters are made more complicated by the fact that the financial sector is characterized by an ever-increasing use of digital technology, including software elements that trade in the market themselves. We believe that a careful study of this phenomenon may help us better to understand the role of artificial agents in the social world.
Topics and research questions include (but are not limited to):
- The nature of financial instruments, financial risk, financial markets
- The nature of buying, selling and investing
- The problem of performativity in the financial world
- What is the difference between price and value?
- Are the orders placed by an automated trading system social acts?
- What is the role of documents in finance?
- Can the financial market be fair?
Instructions: Articles must be written in English and should not exceed 40.000 characters, notes and blank-spaces included.
