The scholarship of twentieth-century dictatorships has developed
steadily since the demise of such regimes after W.W.II. The last
decades, they have increasingly been studied from a cultural point
of view. Some researchers (Mosse, Gentile,…) characterized them as
forms of ‘political religion’, a viewpoint which eventually led
to the creation of a journal dedicated to this topic,
‘Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions’. In this
context, there is also a growing interest in the position of
traditional religion, as opposed to, and sometimes as a part of,
the ideological frameworks in which twentieth-century dictatorships
can be situated.

The Cádiz-based online peer reviewed journal Historia Actual Online
now invites proposals for articles on subjects related to the theme
of contemporary dictatorship and religion. Topics could include
European fascist and non-fascist dictatorships and their
relationship to religion, especially to the Vatican, the fate of
religion and religious institutions under Communist regimes, the
position of Christianity in Maoist China and in Asia, religion and
dictatorship in Africa and South America, ... Proposals for
contributions on the topics suggested above, or, in general, on
topics relating to the theme of ‘dictatorship and religion’, are
invited. It is envisaged that a ‘dossier’ of 5 to 10 papers will
be published in the Historia Actual Online Autumn 2008 edition.

Historia Actual Online (ISSN 1697-3305) is a full text, open acces
online contemporary history journal which does not limit itself to
the discipline of historiography, but also welcomes multi-
disciplinary approaches. Contributions are accepted in English,
Spanish, French, Italian and German. Further information, including
