Dear authors of our journal,

In 2023, we will change the section where researchers can publish their articles free of charge. Its title is "Encyclopedia of Tuvan Culture” (instead of the section for comparative Tuvan studies — "Dialogue of Cultures”).

In this section, we will publish articles comprising results of research on contemporary Tuvan ethnic culture:

— conditions, factors and trends of the development of Tuvan ethnic culture as a whole and its particular traditions, rituals in their current state;

— scientific, social, political and other issues of studies on contemporary ethnic culture of the Tuvans;

— description and analysis of particular cultural traditions and rituals of the Tuvan people;

— description and analysis of a cultural tradition and a rite of a specific kin group of the Tuvans;

— new forms of modern Tuvan ethnic culture (which have emerged over the past twenty years);

— reflections of sociocultural changes of recent years in the Tuvan language;

— the role of personality in the current restoration, maintenance and development of Tuvan ethnic culture, etc.

The main research fields are the following: social anthropology, cultural anthropology, ethnography, cultural studies, history, sociology, political science, and philology.

The chronological scope is the 21st century (the 2000s — up to the present time).

Priority will be given to:

a) articles containing new field materials with detailed descriptions, including videos, audio records, photos;

b) articles with analysis based on new theoretical and methodological approaches of cultural anthropology.

NB! In order to submit an article to this section, authors should first send an abstract with an outline (1–2 pages) to discuss its content with the editorial board (editor@tuva.asia).

The maximum length of the text (without metadata) is strictly no more than 40 thousand characters with spaces.

Articles are accepted in Russian or English.
