Focus and Scope

theologie.geschichte is a multi-lingual, peer-reviewed, open-access journal of theology and cultural studies.t.g fosters an interdisciplinary discussion and an international intellectual exchange among researchers concerning the topic of the cultural influence and impact of the totalitarian movements of the 20^th century. The question here to be pursued is whether and to what extent intact remnants of the multifarious totalitarian theories and practices exert continued influence upon the cultural developments and exigencies of the present. The chronological focus of contributions to the journal rests upon modern and contemporary history.

Contributions can be submitted and published in either the German, English, or French language. Within the journal, scientific articles take their place alongside miscellaneous essays and reviews.

Monographs, Anthologies, Dissertations, and Habilitation Papers falling within the thematic bounds embraced by theologie.geschichte may be published under favorable publishing conditions as printed supplementations to the journal.
