"Contemporary Russian Nationalism, and Its Historical Roots / Heutiger
russischer Nationalismus und seine historischen Wurzeln"

A special issue of "Forum für osteuropäische Ideen- und Zeitgeschichte
[Forum for the Ideas and Contemporary History of Eastern Europe]"
(http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forum/index.htm ).

Deadline for submission of English or German papers: 1 August 2010

ZIMOS, the Eichstaett Institute for Central and East European Studies
in Upper Bavaria, invites English- and German-language research papers
for a 2010 special issue of volume 14 of its biannual Germany-based
print-journal "Forum für osteuropäische Ideen- und Zeitgeschichte
[Forum for the Ideas and Contemporary History of Eastern Europe]." See
http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forum/onpaper.htm . Since 1997, the
"Forum" has been published twice per year by Böhlau Press (Vienna,
Cologne and Weimar). See http://www.boehlau.de/1433-4887.html .

Since 2004, it has been supplemented by ZIMOS's interdisciplinary
Russian-language web journal "Forum noveishei vostochnoevropeiskoi
istorii i kul'tury [Forum for Contemporary East European History and
Culture]" (http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/forumruss.html ) where
currently a similar Russian-language multi-issue project on
post-Soviet anti-Westernism and its historical roots is being
implemented (http://www1.ku-eichstaett.de/ZIMOS/CallForPapersRu.html ).

We are looking for properly footnoted, scholarly researched,
well-structured, and thoroughly edited English- or German-language
investigations into the political ideas, world views, intellectual
biographies, societal impact and various activities of contemporary
Russian representatives of nationalism and their sources in the
history of Russia and other countries.

Submitted texts should have a length of approximately 4,000 to 7,000
words, and be based on primary as well as secondary sources fully
listed and properly described, in the footnotes. Papers may be
submitted and will be printed in English or German. In the case the
author submits not in her or his mother tongue, the text should be
thoroughly copy-edited by a native speaker. The paper should not have
been published before, in the language in which it is submitted to the
"Forum." If it has been published in another language before, authors
are required to provide proof of reprint permission, by the copyright
holder of the original version of the article. The editors of the
"Forum" will not take responsibility for any violations of copyright.

Papers accepted content-wise for publication will only be published in
case of a proper adaptation of its linguistic quality and formal
style (footnotes, headings, references, citations etc.) to the
standards of the "Forum" by the author/s, by 1 August 2010. Model
articles showing the formal style required of the final editions of
the papers to be prepared by the author/s may be found at the
following sites:
