The Hungarian Historical Review invites submissions for its forth issue in 2014, the theme of which will be &#8220;Religion in Social Relations&#8221;ArgumentThe social interactions of individuals and groups belonging to different denominations was and is one of the everyday experiences of social manifestations of otherness. Ever since the Middle Ages, Central Europe has been home to various and varying religious and ethnic groups who have lived side by side. The region has been a meeting point for the Latin, Orthodox, Islamic, Christian, and Jewish worlds, and the Reformation made it even more religiously diverse. We encourage the submission of papers that examine the phenomena of religious and cultural diversity in the region from the perspectives of political history and the history of ideas, and we are particularly interested in submissions that address the social, economic, and cultural aspects of religiously and denominationally diverse coexistence. Papers should focus on the forms and extent of mutual interaction between denominations in everyday social and family life, from the palaces of the aristocrats to the homes of the burghers, from the world of the associations to the world of the arts, from the big cities to the smallest villages. We place emphasis on an understanding of religious life that throws into question the notion of clearly defined and distinct denominations and unambiguous denominational identities and examines instead blurred borders, processes of negotiation and renegotiation, and everyday practices of interaction.The phenomena of coexistence (living with and living alongside others), acculturation, assimilation, acceptance, exclusion, and seclusion can be a common thread linking stories that are otherwise diverse in time (from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century) and space (the expansive and varied region of Eastern Europe). We therefore are interested in articles that touch on the following issues:The transformation of the familial relations of families belonging to different denominations (for instance &#8220;mixed&#8221; marriages);Cooperation between denominations within the frameworks of various social institutions (for instance the mix of denominations in casinos);Joint undertakings of and economic cooperation between actors in the economic sphere who belonged to different denominations;The presence of students of varying denominations in the denominational schools;Potentials for denominational coexistence in various social groups: divergences in norms and practices in the relations between people of different denominations;Customs, social practices, and cultural phenomena that were above denominational differences and linked people of different denominations;Regional differences in the interactions between people of different denominations;The distinctive aspects of the mutual interactions of people of different denominations from the perspectives of social position and social gender.Submission guidelinesPlease send an abstract of no more than 500 words and a short biographical sketch, together with a brief biography and selected list of three publications (we do not accept CVs).The deadline for the submission of abstracts: January 15, 2014The deadline for notification of accepted abstracts: 31 Jan 2014Proposals should be submitted to the organizers by email: hunghist@btk.mta.huThe editors will ask the authors of selected papers to submit their final articles (max. 10.000 words) no later than June 15, 2014.All articles must conform to our submission guidelines http://hunghist.org/index.php/forauthorsWe provide proofreading for contributors who are not native speakers of English.The Hungarian Historical Review is a peer-reviewed international journal of the social sciences and humanities the geographical focus of which is Hungary and East Central Europe.For additional information, including submission guidelines, please visit the journal&#8217;s website: http://www.hunghist.orgEditorial BoardAttila B&#193;R&#193;NY (University of Debrecen), L&#225;szl&#243; BORHI (HAS), G&#225;bor CZOCH (E&#246;tv&#246;s Lor&#225;nd University of Budapest), Zolt&#225;n CSEPREGI (Evangelical-Lutheran Theological University), G&#225;bor GY&#193;NI (HAS), P&#233;ter HAHNER (University of P&#233;cs), Gy&#246;rgy K&#214;V&#201;R (E&#246;tv&#246;s Lor&#225;nd University of Budapest), G&#233;za P&#193;LFFY (HAS), Attila P&#211;K (HAS), Marianne S&#193;GHY (Central European University), B&#233;la TOMKA (University of Szeged), Attila ZSOLDOS (HAS)Advisory BoardG&#225;bor &#193;GOSTON (Georgetown University), J&#225;nos BAK (Central European University), Neven BUDAK (University of Zagreb), V&#225;clav BŮŽEK (University of South Bohemia), Olivier CHALINE (Universit&#233; de Paris-IV Paris-Sorbonne), Jeroen DUINDAM (Leiden University), Robert J.
