Appel à manuscrits – Éditions du CTHS

Ethnologues, anthropologues, ethnolinguistes, ethnohistoriens, adressez-nous vos manuscrits
Les publications de la section « Anthropologie sociale, ethnologie et langues régionales » du CTHS s’inscrivent dans plusieurs
collections, en particulier :
« Le regard de l’ethnologue », qui accueille les manuscrits originaux, mais aussi les thèses remaniées ;
« Orientations et méthodes », collection destinée aux étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles, qui regroupe manuels, ouvrages de méthodologie ou ouvrages pour les classes préparatoires aux concours des grandes écoles ;
« Format », collection de poche qui publie à des prix abordables les classiques, ouvrages étrangers, mais aussi des textes inédits.

• La section propose prioritairement pour publication les manuscrits concernant le domaine français, y compris les Départements et Territoires d’Outre-Mer, les comparaisons entre la France et d’autres pays européens. Sont donc exclus les manuscrits traitant exclusivement d’un ou de pays étrangers, fussent-ils européens. La section ne publie ni les actes de colloques (sauf quand ceux-ci sont organisés par le CTHS), ni les thèses de doctorat non remaniées selon des normes éditoriales raisonnables. Elle refuse en outre d’examiner tout texte déjà accessible sur Internet.

• Les critères d’évaluation des manuscrits sont, outre l’intérêt scientifique, la conformité à la politique éditoriale de la section et du comité de publication du CTHS, l’estimation des ventes en librairie. L’existence de financements extérieurs est appréciée.

• Les manuscrits sont fournis en deux exemplaires sur papier et un exemplaire numérique (CD-Rom, DVD, etc.) sous leur forme considérée comme définitive par leurs auteurs. Les manuscrits « provisoires » ou incomplets ne seront pas pris en compte.

• La section nomme alors parmi ses membres deux rapporteurs qui se prononcent par écrit sur la pertinence d’une publication et indiquent la collection la plus appropriée. La section désigne également parmi ses membres titulaires un responsable du suivi du manuscrit, chargé de transmettre à l’auteur les demandes éventuelles de modifications de son texte qui sera ensuite, avec ceux que proposent les autres sections, soumis à la commission générale de publication du CTHS.

Le catalogue de nos collections est consultable sur le site Internet du
CTHS : www.cths.fr
