> Call for submission of  bibliographical essays on specific nationalisms
>
> Sprawy Narodowosciowe (Nationalities Affairs) is the premiere European
> biannual periodical devoted to the study of nationalism and ethnicity.
>
> After the breakup of the Soviet bloc, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia at
the
> close of the 20th century, nationalism became the only truly global
> ideology. The world got divided into the nation-states steeped either in
> civic or ethnic nationalism. Even the par excellence non-nationalist
> polities such as Gibraltar and Monaco are busy reinventing themselves as
> nation-states.
>
> In the 21st century the basic political unit is the nation-state and its
> social counterpart is the nation. Although the processes of globalization,
> hybradization and regionalization may change this current political and
> social reality of the world in future, it will not happen any time soon.
> Thus, the necessity arises to spur up comparative research on nationalism
as
> embodied in various nation-states and pursued by national movements
without
> their own states. The dynamics of these nationalisms and interactions
among
> them maintain the current political and social shape of the world, and
will
> change it accordingly.
>
> Without the in-depth analysis of these nationalisms neither sound
> explication of social, political and economic processes will be possible
nor
> taking learned decisions by politicians.
>
> Therefore, Sprawy Narodowosciowe (Nationalities Affairs) wishes to
> contribute to the creation of the basis for the comparative study of the
> extant nationalisms through attracting bibliographical essays devoted to
> them.
>
> FORMAT
>
> 1. The bibliographical essay presents publications that create and analyze
> the nationalism of a given nation state (or of a stateless national
> movement/group/nation). These publications were brought out in the state's
> national language, or, in the case of non-existence/recent standardization
> of such a language, in a language or languages popularly used on the
> territory of such a nation-state.
>
> 2. The essay focuses on the following texts:
> - publications (poetry, fiction, scholarly works etc.) that shaped the
> nationalism of a given nation-state;
> - publications that analyze and describe this nationalism;
> - local publications that contribute to theoretical thought and research
on
> nationalism in general;
> - if possible the essay should be wrapped up with information on the local
> reception of the global discourse on nationalism, this is, on translations
> into the national language of the premiere international works devoted to
> nationalism.
>
> 3. The essay's closing section (this is, the list of references) includes
> the bibliographical details of the mentioned texts. If some important
titles
> could not be treated in extenso in the essay itself, their bibliographical
> entries in the list of references can be appended with additional
> information in the form accepted in annotated bibliographies.
>
> The additional information in regard of some issues discussed in the body
of
> the text, is included in footnotes.
>
> 4. The essay should not be longer than 10,000-15,000 words including
> footnotes and references. However, in the case of `large' or complicated
> nationalisms (for instance, as that of Russia) as well as in other special
> instances (to be discussed with the Editor and the Coordinator of the
> Project beforehand) the rule may be omitted.
>
> We wish to attract authors to write bibliographical essays in accordance
> with the guidelines as sketched above. However, we are also ready to
> consider the already published bibliographical essays should they conform
> with the format's broad framework.
>
> We are interested in receiving bibliographical essays on all extant
> nationalisms including the stateless ones. Obviously, due to the Eurasian
> location of the Editorial Head Quarters of Sprawy Narodowosciowe
> (Nationalities Affairs), our interest is most in the nascent nationalisms
> busy building their nations and nation-states on the territories of the
> erstwhile Soviet Union and of ex-Yugoslavia.
>
> As the rule we can consider accepting submissions in all languages. But
for
> the sake of expedience we encourage to submit essays in English and
Russian
> if possible.
>
> The accepted submissions will be brought up in Sprawy Narodowościowe
> (Nationalities Affairs) in Polish translation.
>
> This is an on-going call for submissions and there are no deadlines, Thus,
> when the amount of submitted essays allows it they will be gradually
> published in the succession of separate volumes. We predict to bring out
> these volumes in English for the sake of improved world-wide discussion on
> nationalism.
