Call for submissions

Beyond post-socialism?
Resistance, creativity and change in the corners of Eurasia
Submission deadline 30 November, 2008

The second decade since the collapse of communist regimes in Central, East
and South-East Europe is slowly coming to a close and it is now time to
look back to the socio-cultural changes within the region in both more
depth and breadth. Durham Anthropology Journal (DAJ) invites
submissions dealing with the concept of  ¡post-socialism¢ in a broad
sense. The aim of this monothematic journal issue is to critically
reassess disciplinary, spatial, as well as thematic boundaries of the
anthropology of post-socialism. The guest editor of DAJ for the issue
is David Henig. Particularly, we welcome papers focused on:
1. New research perspectives and themes
How to approach various practices and continuities (e.g. anthropology of
consumption, rhetoric culture as a means of approaching post-socialism,
closer dialogue between anthropologists and historians)
2. Spatiality of ¡post-socialism¢
Does the concept of ¡post-socialism¢ have any spatial boundaries? If so,
what are the criteria for inclusion/exclusion?
3. Reflexivity of research
How is anthropological knowledge on ¡post-socialism¢ produced? How should
fieldwork in post-socialist Eurasia be carried out?


Submissions and queries send to David Henig (david.henig la durham.ac.uk)


Durham Anthropology Journal facilitates the dissemination of research
