Aims & Scope

Folklorica is a publication of the Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Folklore Association (SEEFA), a scholarly, non-profit organization devoted to the exchange of knowledge among scholars interested in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian folklore. The journal publishes articles, surveys, reviews, notices of conferences or expeditions, and announcements from scholars in any field relevant to Slavic, East European, and Eurasian folklore, including anthropology, ethnic studies, history, literature, and musicology. Folklorica is issued annually. The contents of the journal reflect a wide range of topics related to Slavic, East European, and Eurasian folklore. Folklore includes the study of the creative and expressive dimensions of human experiences and worldviews. This includes oral genres, customary behavior, material culture, and belief. Folklore pays particular attention to related systems of communication and transmission in socio-cultural contexts. As technology constantly reshapes communication, the field of folklore studies continues to expand its methodologies and themes. While some folklorists work with published sources and archival documents, others focus on face-to-face interactions via the ethnography of everyday life, still others explore new trajectories in the virtual world. Articles in the journal present significant research findings or theoretical analyses. Surveys are narrower in scope and focus on a single context or issue. Folklorica only accepts original submissions. Submissions must not be under concurrent consideration by any other journal. Do not send a previously published article, even if it has appeared in another language. There are no fees for submissions. Folklorica publishes materials in English. Authors are encouraged to translate their manuscripts into English prior to submission. Submissions in Slavic and East European languages may be considered if a translator is available. Manuscripts normally should not exceed 35 pages in length (including endnotes).
