Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 11 (2024): Call for Papers

2023-09-13

The 22nd of April 2024 marks the 300th Anniversary of the birth of Immanuel Kant (1724–1804), an outstanding thinker, and founder of German classical philosophy. “What can I know?”, “What must I do?”, “What can I hope for?”, “What is man?” ‒ these four famous Kant's questions define not only the sense of his philosophical study but also the point of human-focused humanitarian discourse. The person and philosophy of Kant attract the well-deserved attention of humanities scientists worldwide, including Ukraine.

Therefore, the chief topic for Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal’s next, 11th issue, scheduled for 2024 was defined as “Kant Studies in Ukraine: History and Modernity” (to Kant’s 300th Anniversary).

We are to underline that each following issue of KMHJ will be dedicated to the central topic but not restricted to it. Therefore, you are welcome to share your current research in the field of humanities (namely history, literature studies, and philosophy). However, the publication priority will be given to the articles, regarding the reception of Kant’s ideas in the territories of Ukraine in the 18^th – 21^th.

Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal (KMHJ) is a Ukrainian peer-reviewed academic humanities journal, initiated and published by the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. KMHJ publishes articles on history, philosophy, and literature studies focusing on the Ukrainian context.

Articles are accepted in English only. Guidelines for authors can be found here.

Only articles prepared according to the above guidelines will be accepted.

Articles by collective authorship are generally not considered.

Please submit your paper by March 10, 2024 to kmhj@ukma.edu.ua

Kyiv-Mohyla Humanities Journal 5 (2018): Call for Submissions

2017-07-25

The topic of the 5th issue is Cross-Cultural Connections and Displacement in Ukraine and Beyond
The Ukrainian historical and cultural experience has historically been affected by the meeting of two civilizations: the East and the West, which has resulted in the constant displacement and migration of Ukrainians themselves, and of other peoples. This question is especially current today, with new 21st century challenges facing Ukraine, including the question of the Crimean Tatars and the question of internally displaced persons as a result of Crimea’s annexation by Russia, and the latter’s commencement of war in Eastern Ukraine. These questions, including many others have been affected by 20th century events (the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1921 and the two World Wars) that still await further research in the context of the above-mentioned cross-cultural connections and displacement. In the present issue, we propose to address and investigate these processes from a multidisciplinary perspective. Suggested research topics may include but are not limited to: 1) identity formation and transformation as a result of displacement and cross-cultural interaction, 2) new archival information (memoirs, correspondence, biographies, other documents), 3) cross-cultural literary, linguistic, philosophical and religious interaction, 4) questions related to Ukrainian diasporas, 5) historical perspectives on the issue.
Please submit your paper by November 15, 2017 to kmj@ukma.edu.ua. If this deadline cannot be met, please let us know and we will try to accommodate you.
