Biuletyn Historii Sztuki

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

"Biuletyn Historii Sztuki" ukazuje się od siedemdziesięciu pięciu lat i jest najstarszym polskim czasopismem naukowym poświęconym historii sztuki. Powstał w 1932 jako kwartalnik Zakładu Architektury Polskiej Politechniki Warszawskiej z inicjatywy Oskara Sosnowskiego, inspiratora prekursorskich studiów nad architekturą. Z Zakładem tym i z redakcją ówczesnego "Biuletynu Historii Sztuki i Kultury" był związani m.in. Witold Kieszkowski, Stanisław Lorentz, Juliusz Starzyński i Jerzy Szablowski Michał Walicki, Jan Zachwatowicz i Stanisław Herbst, którzy odegrali po wojnie wiodącą rolę w organizacji życia naukowego i badań nad sztuką.

Po latach przerwy wojennej czasopismo ukazywało się jako organ nowo utworzonego Państwowego Instytutu Historii Sztuki i Inwentaryzacji Zabytków oraz Zakładu Architektury Polskiej i Historii Sztuki PW. Cztery powojenne roczniki, za lata 1946-1949, były wydawane ze świadomością kontynuacji przedwojennego "Biuletynu" nie tylko w tytule, ale i w treści. 

Datą przełomową był rok 1949, kiedy to instytut resortowy został zreorganizowany i zmienił nazwę na Państwowy Instytut Sztuki o charakterze interdyscyplinarnym. Przemianie uległ także kwartalnik, który od 1950 zaczął się ukazywać pod krótszym tytułem: "Biuletyn Historii Sztuki". Stał się pismem Państwowego Instytutu Sztuki oraz Stowarzyszenia Historyków Sztuki i Kultury Materialnej. W 1951 roku redaktorem naczelnym BHS został Stanisław Lorentz, który piastował tę funkcję przez trzydzieści lat. 

W 1982 roku redakcję naczelną objął na okres sześciu lat Stanisław Mossakowski, dyrektor Instytutu. Został też powołany nowy komitet redakcyjny z Janem Białostockim na czele.

W latach 1988-1996 redaktorem naczelnym BHS był Jerzy Kowalczyk. W związku ze zmienioną sytuacją geopolityczną i otwarciem wschodniej granicy, nową tematyką na łamach "Biuletynu" stała się sztuka na ziemiach wschodnich dawnej Rzeczypospolitej. Ożywione kontakty zaowocowały licznymi artykułami publikowanymi w "Biuletynie". Ukazało się kilka numerów monotematycznych poświęconych kulturze artystycznej na Rusi Koronnej i w Wielkim Księstwie Litewskim.  

Funkcję redaktora naczelnego "Biuletynu Historii Sztuki" przejął w 1996 Piotr Paszkiewicz, wicedyrektor Instytutu. Zmieniona została szata graficzna BHS-u. Od 2002 redaktorem naczelnym ponownie jest Stanisław Mossakowski.

Konteksty

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

Since 1947 the Konteksty magazine has appeared regularly as a quarterly sponsored by the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Konteksty is an interdisciplinary publication, embracing different areas from folklore, avant-garde art, aesthetics and anthropology to drama, the plastic arts and mass culture. Konteksty also presents the achievements of minority cultures - we have published special issues devoted to the Jews, Gypsies and Lemkos as well as a special issue on Lithuania. Our magazine is addressed to culture anthropologists, humanists, students - and anyone else interested in humanism. A specialist magazine, it is nevertheless accessible to the broad public and should be of particular interest to all who wish to deepen their knowledge about culture and its mechanisms. Our aim is to outline the leading contemporary humanistic trends, the many facets of today's culture as well as the origins and traditions of well-known contemporary social phenomena. In our work we also translate foreign-language texts. Konteksty is published in editions of 1100-1500 copies and can be found in major libraries in Poland and abroad. Several special editions of the journal have been sponsored by the Culture Ministry, the Stefan Batory Foundation (Fundacja im. Stefana Batorego) and the Culture Foundation (Fundacja Kultury). Konteksty received extremely favourable reviews, among others in Res Publica, Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita, Tygodnik Powszechny, Literatura Ludowa and Życie. Among our contributors are the most eminent Polish and foreign humanists, including professors Frank Ankersmith, James Clifford, Clifford Geertz, Juri Lotman, Marylin Strathern, Maria Janion, Wiesław Juszczak, Zbigniew Raszewski, Teresa Grzybkowska and Zygmunt Kubiak. Our monographs concerned topics like ecology, mass culture, symbolic culture, holiday traditions, eschatology, psychopathic art, the anthropology of drama, film and photography, relations between nature and culture, the anthropology of literature, anthropology vs. history and Polish regional cultures. In 1997 we began a regular column devoted to the diaries of Bronisław Malinowski (written during his research in the Trobriands and earlier) and features on the Polish-British anthropologist's life and work. This was crowned by the Malinowski - Witkacy. Photography: Between Science and Art exhibition (of which we were the main organizer) and a quadruple bilingual edition of our magazine containing texts on the anthropologist Malinowski and the artist, playwright, photographer and philosopher Witkiewicz (Witkacy). Both were important representatives of 20th-Century science and art and, for a time, the closest of friends. This confrontation between a scholar and an artist active in the first half of our century was also an attempt to seek new paths of cognition on the threshold of the 21st Century, a century in which science and art will not be treated separately but as complementary methods of gaining knowledge about humanity and reality.
