We are very pleased to present our new proceedings volume, Hegemony and Marginality in the Slavic Area, which contains scholarly articles presented at the Conference of Young Slavists in 2023 and 2024. Altogether, the volume features 13 studies written in Czech, English, Slovak, Russian, Polish, Serbian, Croatian, and Slovenian. The contributions are divided into two main sections according to the conference years and, within these sections, further organized by thematic focus (history and culture, linguistics, and literature).
Hegemony and marginality are integral parts of all societies as well as all academic disciplines. Through their multidisciplinary approaches, the contributions underscore this fact and highlight the many manifestations of both dynamics. Among other topics, the authors uncover the hegemony of linear text and the marginality of gender-related themes within the literary canons of Slavic countries. They also demonstrate struggles for hegemony reflected in changes of toponyms in multinational territories. At the same time, the volume addresses topics that are often marginalized across various disciplines.
The book was published in 2026 by Pavel Mervart Publishing House.
The volume is available for purchase in selected bookstores or directly from the publisher.
