PLURAL. History, Culture, Society. Journal of the History and Geography Department, \u201eIon Creang\u0103\u201d State Pedagogical University<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Call for Papers: Thematic Issue \u201eRevolu\u021bia rus\u0103 din 1917 la periferii\u201d\/ \u201eThe 1917 Russian Revolution in the Borderlands\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n Editors:<\/strong> Petru Negur\u0103 and Andrei Cu\u0219co<\/p>\n The Russian Revolution of 1917 was a crucial turning point for the whole of Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia \u2013 both for the provinces of the Russian Empire and for neighboring countries. Most of the studies dealing with this subject focus on the processes and events that occurred in the imperial center. In this special issue of our journal, the editors would like to respond to the challenge of discussing this process as it unfolded on the peripheries of the Russian imperial space. This special thematic issue aims at examining the local, regional and peripheral manifestations and repercussions of the social and political turmoil that engulfed the Russian Empire and its society in 1917. Moreover, our project specifically aims at taking into consideration and reassessing the experiences of those social groups and strata that were not represented or were under-researched in the framework of the dominant narratives and approaches. Various marginal(ized) or minority groups \u2013 such as, e.g., women or certain specific ethnic and social communities \u2013 that generally felt oppressed under the Ancien Regime, appropriated the revolutionary message, adjusting and adapting it to their own projects of emancipation and of reversing the traditional hierarchies. We will thus aim to recuperate the agency<\/em> of these marginal actors within the larger processes of revolutionary transformation in the early 20th<\/sup> century, a tendency which reached its apex in 1917. At the same time, this approach does not entail any reluctance to discuss the political, geographic and cultural center of the empire. Neither does it presuppose the omission of the elites and dominant groups from this analytical framework. The ultimate aim of this thematic issue is, rather, to identify and examine, from a dynamic perspective, the multiple elements of transfer (in the fields of culture, politics, ideology etc.), entanglements<\/em> and mobility apparent within these processes. Besides the description and empirical analysis of the social and political processes that developed within the context of the general crisis produced by war and revolution, we will particularly emphasize the symbolic dimension and the sphere of the social and political imaginary in the revolutionary period. Specifically, we will focus on artworks and literary productions, propaganda images and collective representations, as these were reflected and interpreted by the popular culture of that era. It is not our goal to cover thoroughly all the aspects of this vast field. Rather, the articles included in this thematic issue will discuss in detail a number of revealing cases and will focus on the \u201ccontact zones\u201d (contested issues and spaces) between the dominant and the subaltern groups.<\/p>\n On the basis of the conceptual framework sketched above, we welcome contributions that will discuss and explore various aspects of the following thematic clusters:<\/p>\n The papers should be done according journal editing rules: https:\/\/plural.upsc.md\/?page_id=104<\/a><\/p>\n Dead line: October 30th<\/sup> 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n Please send your contribution to the following email address: pluralreview[at]gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/li> Apel la contribu\u021bii pentru num\u0103rul tematic \u201eRevolu\u021bia rus\u0103 din 1917 la periferii\u201d\/ \u201eThe 1917 Russian Revolution in the Borderlands\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n Coordonatori:<\/strong> Petru Negur\u0103 and Andrei Cu\u0219co<\/p>\n Revolu\u021bia rus\u0103 din 1917 a fost un moment de cotitur\u0103 pentru \u00eentreaga Europ\u0103 de Est, dar \u0219i pentru Caucaz \u0219i Asia Central\u0103 \u2013 \u00een cazul provinciilor Imperiului Rus \u0219i \u00een \u021b\u0103rile din vecin\u0103tate. Majoritatea studiilor publicate pe acest subiect se axeaz\u0103 pe procesele \u0219i evenimentele de la centrul imperiului. \u00cen cuprinsul acestui num\u0103r, am vrea s\u0103 r\u0103spundem provoc\u0103rii de a urm\u0103ri acest proces la periferiile spa\u021biului imperial rus. Acest num\u0103r special \u00ee\u0219i propune s\u0103 examineze manifest\u0103rile \u0219i ecourile locale, regionale, periferice ale turbulen\u021belor sociale \u0219i politice care au izbucnit \u00een societatea imperial\u0103 rus\u0103 \u00een 1917. Mai mult dec\u00e2t at\u00e2t, acest demers \u0219i-ar atinge cu adev\u0103rat scopul atunci c\u00e2nd vor fi luate \u00een considera\u021bie \u0219i grupurile \/ segmentele sociale deloc sau slab reprezentate \u00een cadrul nara\u021biunilor dominante. Diverse grupuri marginalizate sau minoritare \u2013 de exemplu, femeile sau anumite grupuri etnice \u0219i sociale \u2013 , care s-au sim\u021bit oprimate sub vechiul regim, au preluat mesajele revolu\u021biei, ajust\u00eendu-le propriului lor demers de emancipare. \u00cen acest mod, vom recupera implicarea activ\u0103 (agency<\/em>) a acestor actori marginali \u00een procesele de transformare de la \u00eenceputul secolului 20, care \u0219i-au atins apogeul \u00een 1917. \u00cen acela\u0219i timp, aceast\u0103 abordare nu presupune excluderea din aceast\u0103 analiz\u0103 a centrului politic, geografic \u0219i cultural \u0219i nici a grupurilor dominante. Ambi\u021bia acestui num\u0103r este, mai degrab\u0103, de a suprinde \u00eentr-un mod dinamic elemenele de transfer (cultural, politic, ideologic etc.), de \u00eempletire (entanglement<\/em>) \u0219i de mobilitate care definesc aceste procese. Pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 analiza empiric\u0103 \u0219i descrierea proceselor sociale \u0219i politice care s-au desf\u0103\u0219urat \u00een acel context de criz\u0103, vom atrage o aten\u021bie deosebit\u0103 dimensiunilor simbolice \u0219i imaginarului social \u0219i politic inerente acestor procese. Suntem interesa\u021bi, printre altele, de produc\u021biile artistice \u0219i literare, imaginile de propagand\u0103 sau reprezent\u0103rile colective reflectate \u00een cultura popular\u0103 a perioadei. F\u0103r\u0103 a pretinde la o acoperire exhaustiv\u0103 a subiectului, studiile incluse \u00een acest num\u0103r vor aprofunda anumite cazuri revelatoare \u0219i \u201ezone de contact\u201d (subiecte \u0219i spa\u021bii contestate) dintre grupurile dominante \u0219i cele subalterne.<\/p>\n Av\u00e2nd ca reper cadrul conceptual schi\u021bat mai sus, vom \u00eencuraja contribu\u021bii, reflec\u021bii \u0219i explor\u0103ri pornind de la urm\u0103toarele piste tematice:<\/p>\n Articolele trebuie redactate conform cerin\u021belor revistei: https:\/\/plural.upsc.md\/?page_id=104<\/a><\/p>\n\n
