and imperial discourses in Eastern and Central Europe, and Eurasia.
The outcome of the project will be a publication of a special issue of the interdisciplinary scholarly journal “East/West” by the end of 2012. The editorial board is seeking contributions related to the following issues: “communication vessels”: relationships between (former) metropolis and (former) colonies; compensatory policy: a “privilege” of being traumatized and a tendency towards compensation; problem of responsibility in postcolonial societies: elites, provincialism, xenophobia; actualization of “protective nationalism” as a response to the external aggression and the new wave of colonization; challenges of the cultural policy development (language, publishing, education, re-writing schoolbooks, mass media etc.); issues of generation gap: generations born in the USSR versus those born in the post-Soviet states (Ukraine, Russian Federation, Belarus etc.); postcolonial interpretation of relevant historical events, literary texts, movies, museum exhibitions etc. is also accepted.
In the selection of materials the preference will be given to the texts related to the regions of Eastern and Central Europe, and Eurasia.
We will accept scholarly articles, essays, and reviews of no more than 40,000 characters written in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, English or German together with a brief summary (abstract).
The materials are to be sent to:
