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 today’s 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 author’s
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
author’s 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.
