Editorial

The Digital Library for Eastern Euroe has taken it upon itself to publish works from the currect body of research into Eastern Europe in digital form and thereby create a swift and inexpensive alternative to conventional publication, all the while maintaining rigorous academic standards.  

As regards to content and themes, the history series focusses on both  East European history and cultural history, but, from the start, attempts have been made to put interdisciplinary approaches into practice. For that reason, works that incorporate history of art and philosophy or examine the history of Eastern Europe from such perspectives are also welcome.  In general, the East European field should be examined as thoroughly as possible from both a temporal and regional point of view.   

The language and culture series encompasses East European literary criticism and linguistics, together with the associated methodological and historical aspects.  Particular emphasis will be placed on cultural studies because of its interdisciplinary potential.

All works that contribute to contemporary academic discussion and take up and further delvelop new research are accepted.  Submissions may take the form of extended essays or research papers; however, only MA theses that have been graded as 'very good',  seize upon current research questions and can additionally be placed within a wider subject-specific context are published.
