MARTOR 2010
The Romanian Peasant Museum Anthropological Review
The Romanian Peasant Museum is seeking contributions for its annual review Martor. The Martor review is an unconventional academic journal established in 1996, with a focus on cultural and visual anthropology, ethnology and museology. You can browse some of its earlier issues here: http://martor.memoria.ro/?location=archive&action=details&id=6
The theme of Martor 2010 issue is Writings Lost & Found / Textes de tiroir. We are looking for academic texts that, for different reasons (other than their quality), have remained unpublished. Either the author has lost interest in the topic, changed perspective and focus, or the topic has gone out of „fashion". It may be that the subject has always been eccentric to the academic's main research themes. Whatever the reason, we are looking for academic texts hidden in your drawers or computer folders.
The subject areas we are accepting are cultural and visual anthropology, ethnology and museology, with a focus on Romania and the surrounding area, Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
As the texts we are expecting should already be in a more or less finalized form, the deadline is short: July 15th, 2010. The texts, in English or French, should not exceed 15.000 characters. High quality images supporting the argument are a plus in the selection process. We encourage early submission in the form of abstracts and expressions of interest. The selected authors will be required to write a very personal introductive paragraph on the history of the text, the interest of the author in the subject and the reasons for the text remaining a drawer text.
Please e-mail your texts and any inquiries to Simina Badica (siminarb@gmail.com).
Looking forward to reading your texts,
Ioana Popescu, Research Director at the Romanian Peasant Museum and Editor of Martor Review
Simina Badica, Researcher at the Romanian Peasant Museum and Editorial Assistant of Martor Review.
