THE AGONIST
vary from 2-5 weeks, so please be patient.
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES:
1. The Agonist uses the MLA style (see www.mla.org).
2. All submissions must be submitted as a double-spaced Word-document, using
a point twelve TNR (12) font with 1” margins on all sides. For footnotes,
please use point ten (10) font.
3. The paragraphs must be separated from each other; indent 5 spaces in the
beginning of each paragraph.
4. Quotations that exceed three lines must be indented and separated from the
body of the text into its own paragraph. The lengthy citations are also singlespaced,
as are the footnotes.
5. Please note that page numbers go into the upper right hand corner with your
last name.
6. Italics are to be used for author’s emphases, book and journal titles, and foreign
terms.
7. Quotations from Nietzsche’s works should be followed in the main text by
parenthetical references to the work in abbreviation followed by section or
note numbers: e.g., (BT §7), (GS §124), (GM III §7), (TI “Ancients” §3). For
a complete list of standard abbreviations, see below. The translation being
cited should be indicated in a footnote to the first quotation from the work.
If the author is rendering Nietzsche’s German into English, each quotation
should be footnoted with a reference to a standard critical German edition of
Nietzsche’s works, preferably the KSA. All other scholarly references should
be given in the footnotes.
8. In the case of essays on visual art, images and captions should be embedded in
the text. Images and caption texts must be submitted both separately (on a
separate cover sheet) and as the Word file in order to be prepared for
publication.
9. In the case of essays on visual art, it is necessary for the contributor to obtain
images and caption texts. Generally, these are available from galleries and
museum press or public relations offices, along with the needed permissions.
