Membrana Vol. 6, No. 2 (Skin) invites proposals of manuscripts and visual projects that address photography as it negotiates the ticklish bio-political subject that is skin in precarious and often contradictory ways through (but not limited to) the following perspectives:

-Skin as a quantifiable surface – photography and sciences, quantifiable self, physiognomy, body and photography (historical and contemporary perspectives);

-Body politics and photography – colorism, social stereotypization, and social stratification (race, gender, social roles);

-Desire, drive, and the body exposed – nudity and skin, same or different?

-Skin and selfie culture – self‑documentary, amateur pornography;

-Photogenesis and photography – objectness and human figure; biomediality and anthropocentrism;

-Haptic perception and photography – realism, tactility, tactile multimodality;

-Beyond the skin – transhumanism, cyber-body and photography; virtual, augmented reality (avatars, in-game and social media photography);

-Haptic visuality – beyond representational paradigm, skin and touch in photography and visual experience (depiction, body and photography);

-Phenomenology and photography – skin as a mode of and metaphor for perception, somatic-phenomenological understanding of photography;

-Advertising and skin – smoothing, streamlining, whitening, and other deformations;

-Skins, pelts, trophies – photography as taxidermy;

-Skin, shadows, and silhouettes – body surfaces and bodily forms;

-Skin, gesture, tattoos, and visual semiotics;

-Skin‑deep – surface aesthetics and depth hermeneutics.
