Fabrications \;The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians\, Australia and New Zealand \; invites papers for a special issue (35.3) guest edited by Ashley Paine (University of Queensland) and Kirsty Volz (Queensland University o f Technology) on the theme of &ldquo\;Islands&rdquo\;. Papers are due on 7 February\, 2025.

From spaces of isolation and inde pendence\, to archipelagos of connection and knowledge exchange\, islands occupy a complex and evocative place in our terrestrial and imaginary worl ds. In a Western worldview\, islands are at once utopian and dystopian&mda sh\;places of refuge and exile\, extravagance and exploitation\, paradises and prisons&mdash\;containing contradictions and contested spatial histor ies. They offer distance from which to look back and reflect on one&rsquo\ ;s place in the world\, or connote severance from it as places of ostraciz ation: petri dishes of extremism\, claustrophobia\, paranoia and self-isol ation. At the same time\, recent scholarship has challenged the insular an d spatially bounded concept of islands\, adopting an archipelagic approach to oceanic networks of rich interconnected histories that span across pol itical\, social and cultural spheres. Such tensions of connection and sepa ration also play out in architectural practice&mdash\;through islands of d iscourse and debates&mdash\;historically visible in certain schools of pra ctice as well as the work of independent practitioners and scholars. Islan ds are also shaped by architectural practices\, from indigenous and coloni al to modern and contemporary\, from vernacular and regional to global and digital. Islands\, therefore\, emerge as both sites and subjects of criti cal historical research\, and a lens or position through which to examine the past.

We invite papers that critically reflect upon the many pos sible interpretations of islands in architectural history: how islands hav e influenced the production and reception of architecture\, and how archit ecture has contributed to the formation and transformation of island cultu res\, identities\, and environments. Topics may include\, but are not limi ted to:
