Call for submissions, Issue No. 2, 2019 #pigeonradical
Theme “Animals on the Screen”
Pigeon is a new radical animal reader published by @sybilpress . We seek new experimental, creative essays and literary works for issue 2 on the subject of “animals on the screen.” We understand animal in the larger sense, from the human and non-human animal to the monarch butterfly, and we are open to speculation on cosmic life and artificial intelligence. In terms of screens: we seek a hybrid discourse surrounding #animal beings and being animal in the networked age from #television, #film, the #postinternet, holograms and virtual reality to other forms of representation and exploitation of otherness, gender, identity, and the environment, for example.
In the spirit of “no gods; no masters,” contrarian paradigms and interdisciplinary critiques are desirable.
Please e-mail a 300 word abstract as a PDF with contact information to pigeon@sybilpress.org by January 1st, 2019. Subject line: animal2 abstract.
Half of all sales of Pigeon will be donated to #animalwelfare/rights/liberation organizations, with the remaining half used to cover costs and the making of subsequent issues. #posthuman #vegan
Pleased to announce @SybilPress will participate in this year's #ChicagoArtBookFair

Due to devastation Hurricane Harvey wrought #Houston, #SybilPress has just donated $500 to @friends4lifeorg, a #nokill shelter in #htx. As part of our mission and in honor of our friend, Sybil, we continue to support animal welfare orgs and the tireless, amazing services they provide to those non-humans in need. Thanks to everyone who has grabbed something from #sybilpress recently, aiding in these totals.
#SybilPress has been selected to participate in this year's Boston Art Book Fair.
Pigeon is a new radical animal reader published by Sybil Press. We seek experimental, creative essays and literary works on the topics of animal rights, liberation, veganism, environmentalism, post and transhumanism, to name a few. We understand animal in the larger sense, from the human-animal to the monarch butterfly, and we are open to speculation on cosmic life and artificial intelligence. In the spirit of “no gods; no masters,” contrarian paradigms and critiques are desirable. Pigeon is a hybrid discourse surrounding animal beings and being animal in the networked age.
Consider Giorgio Agamben’s critique of the anthropological machine and the caesura between human and animal; or media representation of carnism and the Sexual Politics of Meat, described by feminist-vegetarian Carol J. Adams; as well as the intersectionalism espoused by Marjorie Spiegel in The Dreaded Comparison; and what place does the animal have among the cyborg?; we may also ask, as Jacques Derrida does, “Since so long ago, can we say that the animal has been looking at us? What animal? The other. I often ask myself, just to see, who I am—and who I am (following) at the moment when, caught naked, in silence, by the gaze of an animal, for example, the eyes of a cat, I have trouble, yes, a bad time overcoming my embarrassment. Whence the malaise?”
