RESOURCE: NEW PUBLICATION _Journal of Hinduism_
************************************************************************
From: Knut Axel Jacobsen <Knut.Jacobsen@krr.uib.no>
Dear colleagues,
The publisher Brill will be releasing the first issue of the new
Journal of Hinduism in Spring 2009. I want to invite you to submit
articles for this new journal. It will be published twice a year.
Here is some information about the journal:
The Journal of Hinduism publishes original research from leading
scholars on all aspects of the Hindu religious traditions, past and
present. The journal favors both presentations of new material based
on textual studies or fieldwork, as well as discussions of
theoretical issues. Inter-disciplinary perspectives and comparative
studies are highly welcome as important contributions to a journal
which examines issues of the Hindu traditions within the fields of
Anthropology/Sociology, Art History and Architecture, Indology, Law,
Linguistic, Literary Studies, Philosophy, Political Science,
Psychology, Religious Studies and Theology. The journal contributes
to the development of Hindu studies by publishing on a variety of
issues within the Hindu traditions such as the performative,
narrative and intellectual traditions, historical developments,
regional traditions, canon and texts, sacred geography, and
contemporary issues such as feminism, nationalism, bioethics or human
rights. Hinduism is not only a local, but also a global religion.
Interactions with other religions both locally and globally are also
a prime issue for the journal. The journal is interested in articles
on the regional traditions as well as Hindu religious life in the
many South Asian Diasporas and the emerging global Hindu discourses.
The special feature of the journal is the unique way it mirrors the
state of Hindu studies.

Manuscripts
Articles should be between 6,000 to 10,000 words and book reviews
between 800 to 1000 words. An abstract of 100-200 words should
accompany papers, as well as up to 5 or 6 keywords. All submissions
should be sent to the Editor and a separate cover sheet must be
included with the manuscript title, author's name, professional
affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number.
Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced and liberal margins
must be provided. Notes should be included as footnotes, and not as
endnotes. Contributions are to be written in English. They will be
subject to peer-reviews. Submission of an article implies that it has
not been previously published, and that it is not currently on offer
to another publisher.
General Matters of Style
- The author may use British or American spelling, provided
only one style is used throughout the manuscript.
- For diacritics see the transliteration document appended here.
- For transliteration the scheme used by the Transliteration
Committee of the Geneva Oriental Congress (September, 1894) is used.
- Sanskrit and other transliterated words are italicized (e.g.
dharma, karma, yoga) and normally not capitalized, except when in
inverted commas (e.g. "dharma").
- Foreign-language names of bodies, schools of thought, etc.
are not italicized.
- Titles of books, journals, encyclopedias are italicized.
Collective bodies of literary works are not.
- Titles of plays, titles of sculptures, works of art are
italicized. Poem titles are enclosed in inverted commas, not
italicized.
Bibliographical References and Footnotes
The major reference work is the Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.).
- A list of references cited must be supplied at the end of the
manuscript, in the form of a bibliography.
- When the bibliography lists several works by the same author,
his or her name should not be repeated.
- For works with more than one author, the names should always
be listed in the order in which they appear on the title page. In the
bibliography, only the first name is inverted.
- Only the major and relevant place of publication should be listed.
- When referencing inclusive page numbers, the second number
is abbreviated to include only the changed part of the first number
(e.g., 3-10; 107-8; 415-532).
Greetings,
Knut A. Jacobsen
