Welcome to New Antigone, your heart and mind ‘vehicle’ for negotiating new forms of thought, writing and arts in the humanities and in defying dialogues with the normative and striates spaces.
New Antigone is a fully refereed international journal that promotes across humanities research with a focus on postgraduate women writing and arts, without being exclusively for and about 'women' and 'postgraduates'.
New Antigone encourages the questioning of established forms, principles, frameworks and concepts and stimulates defying and re-configuring attitudes. New understandings emerge in new forms due to a dynamic process of permanent questioning of the given and the received.
New Antigone offers a new concept in publishing - a journal of refereed articles in the friendly format of a magazine and believes that women deserve more than fashion, food, house design, gardening and shopping. We believe women desire, and vitally need to read intelligent essays and writing that deal with history, culture, mind, psychology and social problems.
New Antigone publishes essays, creative writing and artworks at the intersections of philosophy, cultural studies, history, medicine, politics, anthropology, law, science and more.
We talk to our readers and highly value their Talking Back. We have created the Talking Space where everyone can post their opinion about New Antigone issues and engage in live dialogues.
“In her act, she transgresses both gender and kinship norms, and though the Hegelian tradition reads her fate as a sure sign that this transgression is necessarily failed and fatal, another reading is possible in which she exposes the socially contingent character of kinship, only to become the repeated occasion in the critical literature for a rewriting of that contingency as immutable necessity.” Judith Butler
