BACKGROUND

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity is a multidisciplinary
international web-journal dedicated to issues of tradition, cultural
boundaries and identity formation in Central and Eastern Europe.
<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity is a peer-reviewed
journal, and is published quarterly. New articles appear in the February
and August issues, while discussions arising out of these articles or
concerning recent events and publications are posted in the April/June and
October issues.

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity hopes to make a
contribution to ongoing debates in cultural studies. It scrutinizes the
new, post-Soviet symbolic geographies that separate insiders from
outsiders (informed by history and politics but implying identity),
investigates the (historically and culturally) constructed nature of
common symbols and histories, and traces the multiple vectors of
domination and resistance involved in their emergence. Objects of analysis
are the histories and narratives in which these conflicting forms of
identification are negotiated. Feelings of territorial cultural belonging,
of Heimat and exile can be analyzed, for example, through the prisms of
migration patterns, diasporic experiences and urban lifestyles.

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity welcomes essays and
scholarly articles from a number of disciplines: history, sociology, and
political science, as well as literature, linguistics, ethnology, cultural
anthropology, cultural geography, cultural studies, film studies and
gender studies.  The aim of the journal is to include rather than to
exclude various scholarly approaches and points of view.  Within such a
broadly defined framework, we consider all topics relevant to the question
of identity formation. Even though Central and Eastern Europe are the
primary geographic areas of our interest, we welcome comparative analyses
that point out shared experiences in the process of defining and
redefining spaces of identity.
