date of
inception:
in
conjunction with: Quest: An
African Journal of Philosophy/Revue Africaine de
Philosophy
and the Philosophical
Faculty,
PIP_TraCS is
published by Shikanda Publishing House,
series editor: Wim van Binsbergen (* shikandapress@gmail.com )
(emeritus
professor of the foundations of Intercultural Philosophy,
Philosophical Faculty,
This new series
has been established in order to further Intercultural Philosophy
(as a rapidly growing sub-discipline where philosophy and the
social sciences meet, addressing many of todays most urgent
problems), as well as the adjacent field of Transcontinental
Comparative Studies, i.e. the empirical study of transcontinental
continuities in culture, thought, myth, language, technology,
political organisation, religion, etc. The new series seeks to
serve through fully-fledged books, but also through more
informal working papers and pre-publications the
circulation of significant intellectual work (both theoretical
and empirical) done internationally in recent years on these
topics.
The series will be uniformly formatted. Each title (see list
below for available and forthcoming titles) will have open access
on the Internet in PDF form at the series webpage, but via
the latter also hard copies will be made available to the general
public in book form. The relatively high price of these hard
copies (as against the free open access of the electronic
versions) reflects two basic facts: (a) hard copy is an
obsolescent, cumbersome, environmentally unfriendly, and
expensive, format for the circulation of academic knowledge; and
(b) PIP-TraCS has to survive entirely on its own means, receiving
no financial support from whatever source (the invaluable support
from Leiden and Rotterdam is moral and intellectual, not
financial nor institutional).
The series
preferred languages are English, French, German, and Dutch, but
contributions in other languages will also be contemplated; texts
in other than West European languages (African, Asian, American,
Australian, Oceanian, as well as Eastern European) will be
eligible if accompanied by a facing text in a West European
language. Each volume will contain, on the last pages, up to ten
key words (both English and French); a relatively extensive
abstract (also in both languages) to be circulated
internationally in specialised bibliographical periodicals; and a
short bio-/bibliographical note on the author in the same
language as the publication; and the authors e-mail
address.
Initially, among the contributors to this new series those
authors will prevail who have a connection with the Philosophical
Faculty, Erasmus University Rotterdam; with the Research Unit on
Connections in African Knowledge, African Studies Centre,
In order to limit
the amount of in-house copy editing, authors will themselves be
primarily responsible for the preparation of their text, at an
adequate level of orthographic and stylistic accomplishment, with
abstracts and key words, and formatted in accordance with the
series editorial guidelines. The latter coincide with the style
sheet and rules for submission of Quest: An African Journal of
Philosophy / Revue Africaine de Philosophie (see: http://www.quest-journal.net/directions_for_contributors.htm
). Submissions not in accordance with these editorial guidelines,
or missing any of the additional documents, cannot be taken into
consideration; moreover, we will need the authors ordinary
mail address, but this will not appear in the publication if any.
While the authors
retain the copyright to their text, they will nominally (and
automatically, by the very act of submitting their manuscript)
cede, to the series editor, such world-wide use rights as allow
the latter to publish and republish the PIP-TraCS version
of their text on the Internet and as hard copy. An ISBN number
will be issued for each separate title. The more voluminous
titles will preferably be accompanied by an index, preferably to
be compiled by the author. Authors will receive eight copies
free, and may purchase any number of hard copies against 25%
discount. A 25% discount arrangement exists for libraries,
subscription agencies and retailers.
