Unpsychology 10 - EDGES - is nearly here
We are getting very near to the publication of Unpsychology Magazine’s 10th issue, with the theme of EDGES. It’s been a mammoth task to sift, edit, combine and otherwise curate the 50 plus contributions we’ve had from a growing community of writers, artists and ‘unpsychologists’. Above is the first reveal of the cover of the EDGES. The wonderful cover photograph is by Gabriele Zukauskaite, and there is more of her work in the magazine.
You will be able to download your FREE copy of the magazine very soon. We will also be launching the printed version of the mag, and you’ll be able to buy a copy through a link from this Substack (we use print on demand to keep costs low and paper use down).
As well as the magazine itself, we will be organising some online meet-ups to share some of the magazine’s beautiful contributions – and to have conversations on the issues raised by the theme (Edges) and our submitters’ responses to it. Again more information to come…
Unpsychology collaborations
We have a strong commitment to collaboration; to moving in and through communities of practice and having an effect (of one sort or another) on the small corner of our culture that we inhabit. This has become Unpsychology’s ‘role’, it seems: to catalyse these conversations, to curate good ‘content’, to respond to ‘big issues’, but also to do these things together. We recognise that no-one has but a fraction of the knowledge and wisdom in the world, and much of it is, in any case, simple, ordinary and embedded in people’s day-to-day lives.
If you don’t know us, then you might be interested to find out that we emerged out of a number of places - different ecologies of practice if you like. Some of them have been organisational, some drawn from activism, some literary, some political, some musical, some relational and some from the threads of radical psychology, mad studies, neurodiversity and, more recently, warm data. There will undoubtedly be more in the future to draw on and draw in: we the editors are nothing if not curious! We love shiny things (ideas, creations, turns of phrase, improvisation, difference) and we love combining them to see what they can be turned into.
You can find out more in one of our previous posts in which we write about the origins of unpsychology, and some of the past issues HERE and HERE.
If you do know us, and have delved into one or more of our magazines, or even contributed to one or more, then you will know that this is a labour of love. It is for our contributors and collaborators, as much as we editors, and we have never had (for example) as business plan - sometimes not much of a plan at all. Things often just fall into place – with much hard work, granted - but our experience is that the shape of things emerges and evolves as it will.
So, the 10th magazine – a decade on from our first small pamphlet – will be out soon.
In the meantime, if you need some inspiration and reminders of where we’ve come from and what we care for and share, you can download free PDFs of all the previous issues. Just click on the buttons above.
And if you want a print copy of issue 8 (An Anthology of Warm Data), and\or issue 9.1 and 9.2 (the double Imaginings edition), you can buy them from the printer’s online shop. Again, push the button above…!
