About Call for Papers 2018
Back to the Things Themselves! (BTTTT!) is an annual attempt to effect a liberation from textual exegesis/critique and return to the lived world to divine the essential structures of experience through rigorous phenomenological description. While BTTTT! is guided by important scholarly contributions about phenomenology, its main aim is to “do phenomenology”—that is, to generate original descriptions of phenomena in the lifeworld.

Phenomenology, Critical phenmenologyCall for Papers
Traditionally phenomenology has been conceived of as the practice of carefully describing the appearances of things in their givenness, without drawing on metaphysical, scientific, or other explanatory preconceptions. However, in recent years a movement has arisen which holds that phenomenology is not merely descriptive in nature, but also an activity of engaged critique comprised of the ongoing questioning of concrete situations, institutions, and assumptions that structure lived experience.
BTTTT! invites those engaged with this turn in phenomenology to generate original descriptions of the life-world that reflect this critical sensibility
