» Anastamos: Interdisciplinary Journal

Anastamos is a modern interdisciplinary journal. Each issue focuses on a single topic with diverse perspectives on the human experience, weaving together creative, scientific, philosophical, historical, and social perspectives on common shifting themes.

Through innovative publication we aim to set a defining example for scholars and professionals crossing the boundaries of their fields. We challenge and advocate for the distribution of material nurturing cross-disciplinary dialogue and debate that is personal and curiously human.

  • As humans, we come hardwired to be afraid. Fear impels us, regardless of our desire to master it. Whether we want it to or not, it motivates us. Fear is paradoxical: it both drives and paralyses. It can unify or divide. It builds nations and tears them apart. Fear comes from outside of us, or from within.  

    Why are we still afraid of the same things we’ve been afraid of for centuries? How is it that we as a species and civilization have not been able to overcome these primal instincts?  

    We’d like to encourage exploration of various lines of creativity, thought, and research on fear. As an interdisciplinary journal, we want to cultivate an atmosphere where learners can open lines of communication and conversation across disciplines to create work with unexpected results.

    Some points of inspiration could be:

    • Why are we afraid?  Why are you afraid?

    • How do we use fear to better ourselves; how does fear hold us back?

    • How is fear expressed in the markets?

    • What are different ways that fear affects the brain?

    • Why do phobias fascinate us and why do we have them?

    • How has fear affected the course of history?

    • How do we fetishize fear in our culture?

    The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
