Ostrakon

Ostrakon – a small shard of broken pottery or stone used as a durable and convenient medium for writing scratched into the surface. Bound up with the notion of exile through its use in the voting process for ostracism in Ancient Greece, the ostrakon captures the spirit of this new imprint. With the more ephemeral notions of the chapbook or pamphlet in mind, Ostrakon welcomes multi- and interdisciplinary work, which explores and develops themes broadly related to mass mobility, forced displacement and exile brought about through conflict, climate change, and authoritarianism. Ostrakon welcomes contributions from a wide range of authors and artists that move beyond conventional scholarly presentational forms to alternative modes of creative and multimedia work. The intention is to attract both scholarly and general readers concerned about human rights, social justice, and the future of the planet and its inhabitants. Academic submissions undergo a peer review process. Submissions in English and German are considered with a maximum limit of 25,000 words. Ostrakon is published in both hard copy and online.

Submission inquiries should be sent to publications.aie.kuwi@tu-dortmund.de
