About the Journal

"Emigrantica" is a serial academic series issued by the A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IWL RAS). It is a collection of monographs, articles, and editions of primary sources dedicated to the issue of emigration in its cultural and ontological significance. Building on the experience of studying the literature and culture of the Russian emigration, the publication aims for a typological study of major European emigrations of the modern era, as well as migrations from earlier periods, as distinct cultural phenomena.

Frequency: Once per year or more.

Founder and Publisher: A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Publisher's Address: 25a bdg.1 Povarskaya St., Moscow, 121069, Russia.

The series' main focus is the synthesis of information on the history of emigrations, questions of the typological similarity between the Russian emigration of the 19th-20th centuries and the phenomenon of emigration in the modern world, as well as historical mass "exoduses" of people from their own countries. Examples include emigration from France during the era of the Great Revolution, emigration from the Third Reich, and emigration from Eastern European countries during and after World War II, etc.

The study of the literary heritage of the Russian emigration, and the contextualization of this heritage as a distinct version of Russian literature that developed autonomously from Soviet literature, will be considered in the series against the general backdrop of migrations and emigrations. Separate volumes dedicated to migrations and diasporas representing a distinct variant of a national culture, formed in interaction with the culture of the host country, are planned.

The publication accepts fundamental research (scholarly articles, monographs) on the history, source studies, textology, and poetics of émigré literature; the history of émigré culture; as well as editions of previously unpublished heritage of the (Russian) emigration, bibliographical reviews, etc. Submissions in Russian and English are accepted.

The publication is intended primarily for an expert readership: scholars of emigration studies, researchers of Russian and foreign 20th-century literatures, historians, cultural studies scholars, university professors, postgraduate students, and undergraduate students specializing in philology, history, and cultural studies.
