>> AJCN intends to publish any methodologically adequate scholarly
>> essay,
>> with no restrictions of space/visual/graphics, dealing with the broad
>> issue of cultural narratology, in English, Russian, Dutch, German or
>> French.
>>
>> Narratology of Culture is perceived here in the "conventional",
>> internationally approved, mildly balanced scholarly modus operandi.
>> It
>> is seen as an artificial stature of "universal humanitarian science",
>> absorbing the semiological bias of "sign-cognition issues", genuinely
>> becoming the General Theory of Textual Analysis. According to the
>> basic conceptual standpoints the narratology of culture is locating
>> itself within an intermediate position in between the structuralist
>> semiotics from one side and the "critique" of "reader's" reaction
>> i.e.
>> the receptionist aesthetics from another. The substantial concerns
>> and
>> contentions of AJCN are as following:
>> a) the "communicative" perception of literariness
>> b) the artistic act of communication is cognized in terms of a
>> polytonal, and at times reciprocal process, occurring simultaneously
>> within the several dissimilar "descriptive levels of recital"
>> c) overall preoccupation with the issue of "the discourse"
>> d) theoretical meditation over the different "poles" of
>> narrative-institutions, which maintain the very chain of transmitting
>> the artistic information from what is called "author" to what is
>> labeled as a "reader.
>> e) the potential aim is to display the inner scheme of
>> mechanical
>> hierarchy, prevailing behind the complex relationship betwixt the
>> entities of "storytelling", "recital", "history", as uniting under
>> the
>> contextual "roof" of the narrative.
>> All the magnitude of modern thinkers, whose oeuvre deals with the
>> "discursive analysis" dispose, naturally the dormant interest for our
>> quiescent publications. The special desired accent, however, should
>> be
>> put on the scientific heritage of Mikhail Bakhtin, namely his ideas
>> on
>> the conflicting interrelation between the types of "the words" (i.e.
>> "the discourses"), impersonated "voices" within the artistic text.
>> ("Svoie slovo" vs "chuzhoie slovo").
>>
>> We will be welcoming nearly every scholarly article, devoted to a
>> certain topic, within any field of humanities, which takes into
>> consideration (to some extent) the theoretical standpoints as
>> described above.
>>
>> All the proposed scholarly texts should be forwarded to the managing
>> editor - Dennis Eoffe via sinkell@gmail.com
>> with the subject notification "proposed article for AJCN first
>> issue".
>> The deadline for all the potential submissions is December 2004.
