On content: Conspiratio encourages contributions from everyone wanting to participate in thinking after Ivan Illich. All contributions are expected to reveal a degree of familiarity with Illich’s ideas and to engage them in a thoughtful way. Every issue of Conspiratio includes essays, thematic articles, book reviews, and occasional translations of texts on/by Illich. All these exemplify “research by people” and advance the cause of thinking after Ivan Illich.

On submissions: For now, all submissions except translations are expected in English. Essays, book reviews, and translations may be submitted at any time. Articles contributing to the theme of each issue should be submitted in response to the call for papers. Only translations of book chapters or articles —not entire books —should be submitted for publication. Essays and articles may range in length between 1500 and 10,000 words. Shorter pieces should be posted as a blog on The Forum. Unless it is a review of many related books, a book review should not exceed 2500 words. However, unlike the standard practice of reviewing only recent books, the books reviewed for Conspiratio may be hard to obtain, dated, or even out-of-print. Moreover, documentaries, movies, and online materials like interviews, courses, or talks about Illich can also form the subject matter of the ‘book’ review section.
