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. Fascism feels that 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.
Possible topics:
- 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
SUBMISSION DEADLINE for the second issue in October 2012 is May 15th, 2012.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS can be found in the ‘Instructions for Authors’ at the Fascism website. Each article should be submitted online, is written in English, consists of a maximum of 8500 words and includes an abstract and keywords.
We are looking forward to your submissions!
