Topic: LANGUAGE OF POLITICS, LANGUAGE IN POLITICS: DISCURSIVE, MULTIMODAL AND VIRTUAL REALITIES The 25th volume of the journal Slavia Meridionalis will be devoted to the numerous and various intricacies characterizing the dependence of politics on language. As Chilton (2023: 6) writes, “it takes little observation to see that language is the very stuff of all political behaviour”. Charteris-Black (2011: 4) sees language as “the lifeblood of politics” and reasons that it is “debatable whether language would have developed in the first place without politics and certain that politics would never have developed without language”. Indeed, politics invariably involves reconciling interpersonal and social differences, and it has been considered to do so (e.g. Miller 1984; Cillia and Wodak 2005) through discursive practices such as discussing, negotiating, bargaining, etc. As Wodak asserts, “[p]olitics necessarily includes persuasion, rhetoric, deceptive devices, and so forth” (2009: 578). The last decades, however, have witnessed remarkable changes in the way people communicate – politically or otherwise. The technological advancements in existence as well as those anticipated have already transformed the way(s) in which politics is conceptualized and the way(s) in which it is ‘enacted’. In parallel, the 2020 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have also affected the language-politics interrelationship. Today we can safely argue we are witnessing tectonic shifts in how individuals interpret politics and how they redefine their own place in it. Ensuing shifts affect how the media – both ‘traditional’ and ‘social’ – adjust to the new (technological) possibilities and requirements before them, and how they (re)create political realities. Generally, the shifts are enabled and enhanced by the changes in global communicative practices and they shape who the present political actors are and who can become a political actor in the future. Against this backdrop, our team’s intention is to bring together research by scholars of all language- and communication-related disciplines, who would like to reason about the issues of how people communicate about politics and how political actors communicate while doing politics. We see the first question as related to the way(s) people view the domain of politics ‘from the outside’. We see the second question as related to the way(s) political actors view and enact politics ‘within’ the political domain. We welcome papers that address political communication issues of any scope: both individual and institutional issues would qualify as would both local and global ones. Our particular preference, nevertheless, is for contributions to display a direct or indirect association with South-East European issues. We invite contributions of any theoretical and methodological inclination. Collaborations between authors from different (sub)fields would also be of considerable interest. Among the topics on which potential submissions would be expected to focus are the following:

Topic: SLAVS OF THE GLOBAL VILLAGE Editors: Magdalena Bogusławska and Angelika Kosieradzka The 24th volume of the journal Slavia Meridionalis will be devoted to the ways in which elements of traditional, indigenous, native Slavic cultures and ideas about Slavdom are being transposed into the globalized contemporary culture. The aesthetic, ludic and ecological fascinations with the material and symbolic heritage of the Slavs, as well as contemporary Slavophilism are spreading, consolidating their position as an important component of cultural transmission. A change in the registers in which Slavic themes and motifs circulate is also increasingly apparent. Institutionalized forms of exploring and processing Slavic (especially pre-historic) knowledge are giving way to grassroots activities, becoming fodder for art, pop culture and also an inspiration for egalitarian areas of social activity, as well as various associations, subcultures, fan communities, etc. Imaginary, uncanny, mythical, phantasmal, ghostly, recovered.... all these terms by which Slavdom is sometimes labeled today show the impossibility of giving this phenomenon a decisive defining contour. They also express the need to indicate the place that Slavicness occupies in global networks of identification. Despite its indefiniteness, or perhaps because of it, Slavdom does not cease to be an inspiration in many spheres of social activity. It is being revived in more and more new guises, seeking anchorage in various currently popular cultural texts, social practices, as well as in the ideas, ideologies and discourses that form their background. All this makes the subject matter once again a tempting research challenge for historians, folklorists, ethnographers, cultural scientists, religious scholars, Slavists… The aim of our proposal is an attempt at critical reflection on the logic, causes and directions of updating the categories of Slavdom and Slavicness. We also pose the question about the ideological conditions of their transfer to the circulation of global culture and the impact of postmodern dynamics and knowledge processing technologies on the way these contents are reactualized. The planned volume is also intended to provide an opportunity to recall the historical phenomena that mark the tradition of interest in Slavdom, Slavs and Slavicness. We propose the authors think about the following sub-issues:
We also remain open to other theme-related proposals. We will also consider publishing papers in English outside the main topic – in the “Imponderabilia” section, intended for contributions addressing particularly important issues within the thematic scope of the journal. Slavia Meridionalis is a multidisciplinary Open Access journal presenting research on the South Slavic countries and their connections with other cultural regions. It is indexed in Scopus (Elsevier) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics), as well as CEEOL, DOAJ, EBSCO, ERIH Plus, Google Scholar, and other databases. Authors are invited to submit English-language papers of up to 40,000 characters with spaces (including bibliography).
