Contributors
have a wide range of materials that they can submit to be included in the monthly
issues of the Journal of Ethnophilosophical Questions and Global Ethics
(JEQGE), from traditional articles to short-readings, book reviews, social
commentaries and ethno-art. All human
cultures manifested their take of beauty through various means, from pottery to
architecture and painting. The study of humanity,
and the multitude of cultures that it encompasses, would not be complete
without the study of the art that was produced in various era and through the
use of more rudimentary or sophisticated tools and techniques.
The Ethno-Art section from the Journal of Ethnophilosophical Questions and Global Ethics (JEQGE) seeks to promote artwork that is correlated with various aspects of ethnic culture, ranging from indigenous symbolism to scenes that show aspects concerning daily life, or various forms of one nation’s material heritage – traditional tools, vernacular architecture, forms of craftsmanship, traditional vehicles etc.
Contributors
are also encouraged to submit artwork that is keen on reflecting the modern
approach toward beauty and visual harmony. The artwork that is submitted can be
more inclined toward symbolism and abstraction as a form of expression, or can
be more heavily reliant on the tents put in place by figurative art.
Format
The
artwork will be submitted as an independent file, especially in case of those
that take the form of images. In case of artwork that is in the form of images,
the PNG format is the most suitable for publishing.
Depending
on the size of the image file the editors will decide whether the image will be
included within the issues (PDF file) or it will be included within an extension
page that will be linked to the issue through a link.
In
order to fulfill the publishing standards, the image should fill at least
70-80% of the page, also an important requirement is that the image should not
get distorted when stretched, this is why the Editorial Board encourages that
the images to be sent in PNG format.
The
image should have clear margins, it is not encouraged adding on customized graphic
margins and frames. The image should not have translucent spaces, all the areas
need to be handled as solid surfaces.
We
do not encourage adding on generic light and color filters in post-production,
this can have a harmful effect on the overall quality of the artwork.
