Call for Papers: Fascism in Eastern Europe
Period: Oct. 2012
Deadline: May 15, 2012
Description of the Call
For the October 2012 issue, 'Fascism. Journal of Comparative Fascist Studies' seeks articles about and from Eastern Europe. Since the fall of communism a new and rich literature on present and past fascism in Eastern Europe has emerged. These studies deserve a more prominent place in the community studying generic fascism. We're looking for contributions on inter-war and war-time fascism and post-war neo-fascism.
'Fascism. Journal of Comparative Fascist Studies' is a peer reviewed open access e-journal that seeks to provide the burgeoning international field of research into fascism and extremism with a forum that is not restricted by national borders, nor by expertise.
Eligible topics
Eligible topics are:
- the relation between fascist movements and the national political establishment
- modernist utopianism in fascist thinking
- social and regional composition of fascist constituencies
- patterns in the causal aspects/genesis of various fascisms in political, economic, social, historical, and psychological factors
- their expression in art, culture, ritual and propaganda
- elements of continuity between interwar and postwar fascisms
- fascisms in relation to national and cultural crisis, revolution, modernity/modernism, political religion, totalitarianism, capitalism, communism, extremism, charismatic dictatorship, patriarchy, terrorism, fundamentalism
- other phenomena related to the rise of political and social extremism
Guidelines for submission
Submission Instructions can be found in the 'Instructions for Authors' at the Fascism website. Each article should be submitted online, written in English. It should consist of a maximum of 8500 words and include an abstract and keywords.
