APPEAL FOR PUBLICATION FOR ISSUE NUMBER 4/2024 OF THE HISTORICKÝ ČASOPIS / HISTORICAL JOURNAL

Historický časopis is pleased to announce the call for papers for the forthcoming monothematic issue, vol. 72, issue 4/2024, focusing on The Phenomenon of Mobility in the History of Slovakia. This issue will be edited by Dušan Segeš.

The central theme of this special issue revolves around social and spatial mobility, examining its catalysts and regulatory mechanisms from the so-called Migration Period (4th-6th centuries) to the modern era. Throughout selected historical periods, we aim to explore both vertical and horizontal migrations and their implications for societal organization and governance. Given the multifaceted nature of mobility as a social phenomenon, interdisciplinary research and comparative frameworks are essential to comprehensively address the topic within the regional or global context of Slovakia and its inhabitants.

We invite contributions from experts within the Slovak and international historical communities, with a particular emphasis on the following thematic headings:

  • The evolution of political power distribution and the emergence of elites amid changes in societal organization and governance, along with social and property differentiation.
  • Social and intellectual mobility from the Kingdom of Hungary era to the 20th century, with a focus on the migration patterns of intellectual, ecclesiastical, and social elites from neighboring regions.
  • Practices of kinship and career advancement within Hungarian aristocratic circles.
  • Vertical and horizontal mobility among educational communities and selected social groups (e.g., teachers, preachers, students, intellectuals) in Hungarian aristocratic circles.
  • Spatial mobility and knowledge transfer among professional and social groups such as professionals, artists, architects, athletes, and students.
  • Gender and class-specific aspects of mobility (e.g., women's social mobility, educational mobility, socioeconomic impacts of industrialization).
  • Long-term factors influencing the formation, transformation, and preservation of social groups and elites, including the influence of family, communal, regional, formal, and informal social ties on social status and occupational classification.
  • Social and spatial mobility of specific professions and families.
  • Labor migration (e.g., seasonal work, transcontinental migration), its social networks, and political context.
  • Various forms of migration, including forced migration, population transfers, re-emigration/repatriation, and exile, with a focus on migration movements to and from Slovakia.
  • The influence of political regimes on the social and spatial trajectories of migration.

The End of Czechoslovakia: 30 Years Later

Call for Papers

The thirty years since the end of the common Czech and Slovak state seems to be the longest period of stable continuous development in the modern history of both nations since 1918, unmarked by major historical breaks and discontinuities. The entry of Czechia and Slovakia into the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance was a confirmation of the path taken in 1989 and 1993. The period of Vladimir Mečiar's "illiberal democracy" in Slovakia became just a small episode. The division of Czechoslovakia was also the last dramatic dilemma that the majority of its inhabitants intensely shared and experienced. Three decades constitute a sufficient distance from the events and processes of that time to allow contemporary historians to examine them in detail and in a broader context. The overall picture of the events surrounding the proclamation of the two independent republics has already been outlined and some of its important moments interpreted. Other issues are still a matter of dispute and await clarification.

To what extent was the division of Czechoslovakia a consequence of long-preserved problems of unitary state-law models and half-hearted federalism? To what extent were they triggered or accelerated by the new political, social and economic dynamics of post-November 1989 developments? And to what extent were these developments a resonance of the predatory wave of nationalism that disrupted all post-communist federations? Did the Czech and Slovak political elites fail to reach an acceptable compromise, despite hard negotiations, or was the division of the state a triumph of the will to power and pragmatism of some politicians? What were the economic costs and benefits of this radical state-building operation, and what was going on behind the scenes in the disputes over the division of federal property? What ideals and values did the two successor republics rely on in building a new statehood, which traditions, models and symbols were actualized or, conversely, which ones disappeared in the process? What has remained of Czechoslovak identity and how do both countries deal with the heritage of their common past?

How did the Czechoslovak divorce affect the everyday lives of people, what complications or benefits did it bring them? And have we, over the last thirty years, rid ourselves of mutual prejudices, misunderstandings, stereotypes and myths born out of our mutual coexistence, or are we piling more on top of them? For example, regarding the circumstances and causes of the division of Czechoslovakia?

We seek articles that analyse and reflect upon these and similar questions for the pages of Soudobé dějiny/CJCH and Historický časopis, to be published in 2023. In this joint project, we are not aiming to publish a single thematic issue, but we would like to include articles related to the round anniversary of the end of Czechoslovakia continuously in both journals throughout the year. We have chosen a "mirror" format, whereby we will publish the contributions of Slovak authors in Soudobé dějiny/CJCH and the articles of Czech authors will find a place in the Slovak Historický časopis. We welcome essays, studies, reflections, as well as texts focused on discussion or polemics, not only from historians, but also from experts in the field of sociology, political science, economics, law, etc. Manuscripts in Czech, Slovak and English can be submitted continuously until September 2023. For publication in the first issues of 2023, the deadline for submission is 31 December 2022.
