CALL FOR PUBLICATION FOR ISSUE NUMBER 4/2025 OF THE HISTORICKÝ ČASOPIS / HISTORICAL JOURNAL Historický časopis invites submissions for the forthcoming monothematic issue, vol. 73, issue 4/2025 on the topic Legal Norm versus Judicial Practice. The editors of the issue are Blanka Szeghyová and Miroslav Lysý. The focus of this monothematic issue of the Historical Journal is the relationship between historical legal norms and judicial practice from the early Middle Ages to the 20th century. While earlier legal historiography focused on the analysis of legal norms and their interpretation by various methods, in recent decades there has been a trend towards research on judicial practice (and thus on the application of law in the past). The older law (before the 19th century) was highly fragmented and particularised; the sources of law were royal laws and privileges, law codes, law collections, statutes, customary law, as well as formularies and legal manuals. Many legal sources were of foreign origin, and even the domestic ones were often based on foreign models. The juxtaposition of normative legal sources with judicial practice or with various forms of contemporary discourse (learned, legal-theoretical/philosophical, literary, official, popular, propaganda) can help to illuminate their mutual influences and interactions and to capture developmental tendencies and changes. Thematic areas:

The editors of this issue are Pavol Hudáček and Dušan Zupka. The planned issue of the Historický časopis/Historical Journal welcomes submissions from Slovak and international historians exploring the social processes that were manifested in the structural transformations of the power elites on royal or ecclesiastical estates by the end of the Middle Ages. The issue focuses on the origins, status, property background, wealth and share of power of the “aristocracy” and lower social groups. Emphasis is placed on the contacts between the monarch and “his people”, which were important in the establishment, transformation and maintenance of political-power relations and were reflected in the power hierarchies of the secular and ecclesiastical elites. The forms of communication between different social groups and the processes of dissemination of ideas and patterns of behaviour of political and ecclesiastical elites in social and power rivalries will also be the subject of research. The formation of church organization and its relationship in the construction of social and power structures will also be considered. The editors welcome contributions to a wide spectrum of partial topics, including:

This issue will be edited by Dušan Segeš. The central theme of this special issue revolves around social and spatial mobility, examining its catalysts and regulatory mechanisms from the so-called Migration Period (4th-6th centuries) to the modern era. Throughout selected historical periods, we aim to explore both vertical and horizontal migrations and their implications for societal organization and governance. Given the multifaceted nature of mobility as a social phenomenon, interdisciplinary research and comparative frameworks are essential to comprehensively address the topic within the regional or global context of Slovakia and its inhabitants. We invite contributions from experts within the Slovak and international historical communities, with a particular emphasis on the following thematic headings:

The entry of Czechia and Slovakia into the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance was a confirmation of the path taken in 1989 and 1993. The period of Vladimir Mečiar's "illiberal democracy" in Slovakia became just a small episode. The division of Czechoslovakia was also the last dramatic dilemma that the majority of its inhabitants intensely shared and experienced. Three decades constitute a sufficient distance from the events and processes of that time to allow contemporary historians to examine them in detail and in a broader context. The overall picture of the events surrounding the proclamation of the two independent republics has already been outlined and some of its important moments interpreted. Other issues are still a matter of dispute and await clarification. To what extent was the division of Czechoslovakia a consequence of long-preserved problems of unitary state-law models and half-hearted federalism? To what extent were they triggered or accelerated by the new political, social and economic dynamics of post-November 1989 developments? And to what extent were these developments a resonance of the predatory wave of nationalism that disrupted all post-communist federations? Did the Czech and Slovak political elites fail to reach an acceptable compromise, despite hard negotiations, or was the division of the state a triumph of the will to power and pragmatism of some politicians? What were the economic costs and benefits of this radical state-building operation, and what was going on behind the scenes in the disputes over the division of federal property? What ideals and values did the two successor republics rely on in building a new statehood, which traditions, models and symbols were actualized or, conversely, which ones disappeared in the process? What has remained of Czechoslovak identity and how do both countries deal with the heritage of their common past? How did the Czechoslovak divorce affect the everyday lives of people, what complications or benefits did it bring them? And have we, over the last thirty years, rid ourselves of mutual prejudices, misunderstandings, stereotypes and myths born out of our mutual coexistence, or are we piling more on top of them? For example, regarding the circumstances and causes of the division of Czechoslovakia? We seek articles that analyse and reflect upon these and similar questions for the pages of Soudobé dějiny/CJCH and Historický časopis, to be published in 2023. In this joint project, we are not aiming to publish a single thematic issue, but we would like to include articles related to the round anniversary of the end of Czechoslovakia continuously in both journals throughout the year. We have chosen a "mirror" format, whereby we will publish the contributions of Slovak authors in Soudobé dějiny/CJCH and the articles of Czech authors will find a place in the Slovak Historický časopis. We welcome essays, studies, reflections, as well as texts focused on discussion or polemics, not only from historians, but also from experts in the field of sociology, political science, economics, law, etc. Manuscripts in Czech, Slovak and English can be submitted continuously until September 2023. For publication in the first issues of 2023, the deadline for submission is 31 December 2022. Indexed in: Scopus, CEEOL.
