Studia Philosophica Wratislaviensia

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

Pismo Studia Philosophica Wratislaviensia zostało utworzone decyzja Rady Naukowej Instytutu Filozofii Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego w 2005 roku. Patronat nad czasopismem sprawuje załozyciel pisma, tj. Instytut Filozofii Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego, oraz oddział wrocławski Polskiego Towarzystwa Filozoficznego. Studia Philosophica Wratislaviensia zamierza wspierac te instytucje, wypełniajac zarazem role słuzebna wobec wrocławskiego, coraz bardziej aktywnego srodowiska filozoficznego. Podejmujac decyzje o powołaniu nowego pisma filozoficznego w Polsce, pracownicy wrocławskiego Instytutu Filozofii kierowali przeswiadczeniem, ze stworzenie kolejnego polskiego pisma stworzy sposobnosc do ozywienia dyskusji o tradycyjnych zagadnieniach filozoficznych, jak równiez o problemach filozofii najnowszej. Działajac w przekonaniu, iz filozofia wkracza tam, gdzie pojawia sie niepewnosc, nie zamierzamy nakładac szczególnych ograniczen na tematyke poruszana na forum naszego pisma, ani zamykac jego łamów przez problemami, które dotychczas umykały filozoficznej uwadze. Jednakze bedziemy dazyc do tego, aby teksty publikowane w naszym pismie spełniały wysokie standardy naukowosci i scisłosci filozoficznej oraz aby respektowały zasady tradycyjnego sposobu uprawiania filozofii. Ponadto nasze pismo nie zamierza podejmowac zadan popularyzatorskich, realizacje tego pozytecznego i waznego celu pozostawiajac innym. Ambicja ta została zasygnalizowana w nazwie pisma, swiadomie nawiazujacej do pisma „Studia Philosophica”, działajacego w poczatkach powojennej Polski, w którym swoje prace publikowali, miedzy innymi, Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz, Izydora Dambska, Roman Ingarden i Władysław Tatarkiewicz. Pierwszy, sygnalny numer pisma zawiera artykuły i studia napisane w przewazajacej wiekszosci przez autorów zwiazanych z wrocławskim srodowiskiem filozoficznym. Mamy wszelako nadzieje, ze w nieodległej przyszłosci „Studia Philosophica Wratislaviensia” stana sie pismem o zasiegu ogólnokrajowym i ze zaproszenie do współpracy z nami przyjma autorzy ze wszystkich uczelni w Polsce.

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

Ekonomia – Wroclaw Economic Review is a quarterly which appears only in the online form since 2013. The quarterly is a continuation of a previously issued by the Institute of Economics of the University of Wroclaw yearbook Economics. Online publication should help to accelerate the publishing process and allows for greater access to articles published in the quarterly. Our intention is that Ekonomia – Wroclaw Economic Review would be a good platform for publication of papers focused on problems and topics related to the broad field of economics, as well as a forum for the presentation of diversified opinions and exchange of many different, although sometimes controversial, opinions. The topics discussed in the Ekonomia – WER refer to issues related to pure economic theory, but also to economic policy, financial problems, or even methodological discourse in the social sciences. We kindly invite for cooperation either economists specialized in their fields (theorists, financiers, entrepreneurs) as well as scientists of related fields (law, philosophy, sociology, etc.) which can be closely connected with real economic processes.

Language and the Culture

Język a Kultura

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

Seria Język a Kultura istnieje od 1988 roku i była dotąd związana z ogólnopolskim konwersatorium pod tym samym tytułem, organizowanym cyklicznie przez Instytut Filologii Polskiej Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego w Karpaczu. Do tej pory ukazały się już 22 tomy zawierające rezultaty badań nad związkami języka i kultury, prezentowane  podczas karpackich spotkań. Autorami publikującymi w kolejnych tomach serii Język a Kultura są przede wszystkim językoznawcy polscy i zagraniczni, zajmujący się analizą zjawisk z zakresu lingwistyki kulturowej w odniesieniu do języka polskiego oraz innych języków i kultur. W naukowej dyskusji prowadzonej z wielu punktów widzenia uczestniczą także przedstawiciele różnych dyscyplin humanistycznych, m.in. badacze kultury, socjologowie i medioznawcy.

Od 2013 roku, w związku ze zmienioną częstotliwością odbywania się karpackich konwersatoriów, postanowiliśmy przekształcić serię Język a Kultura w czasopismo ukazujące się cyklicznie i udostępnić je wszystkim zainteresowanym relacją między językiem i kulturą, dając im możliwość publikowania wyników badań bez konieczności ich wcześniejszego prezentowania w trakcie konwersatorium.

New Criminal Law Codification

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

A scientific quarterly “Nowa Kodyfikacja Prawa Karnego” (New Criminal Law Codification) - has been published by the Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics of the University of Wroclaw since 1997.

Our quarterly is an important forum for the exchange of scientific ideas in the field of penal sciences. The analysis of the most recent issues of the doctrine and practice of broadly defined criminal law and criminal proceedings is a distinctive and long respected profile of the quarterly. The thematically coherent program and substantive content highly evaluated in terms of the quality of the presented papers are a constant determinant of the work on the subsequent volumes of the Nowa Kodyfikacja Prawa Karnego. The subjects discussed also concern criminological aspects of crime, forensic science, the law concerning offences and the issues related to international (European) standards and principles of cooperation in the field of justice and combating crime.

The Annals of European Studies

Rocznik Europeistyczny

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

“Rocznik Europeistyczny” (The Annals of European Studies) is a journal in which we are planning to publish papers devoted to European Studies, that is, studies of both the Europe that “should be united” and into that part of Europe that has already been united. It is clear that the papers will address issues within the fields of politics, law, history, economics, cultural studies and related disciplines.

Above all, the journal will prefer those papers, studies and scientific contributions that will fulfil the tasks connected with the mission of European Studies: studies on the European civilisation and cultural area, on the political and cultural area (European Studies in the broad sense) as well as on the European Union and its areas of activity/policies (European Studies in the narrow sense); areas constituting the particular domain of Europeanist knowledge.

“The Annals of European Studies” thereby wish to reflect the conviction that the community of Europeanists, starting from studies from the perspectives of political science, social science, economics, law, history, etc., has developed a subject matter that is proper to European Studies and described in the Europeanist language (as evidenced by numerous Europeanist lexicons), with a specific catalogue of research topics; that it has developed its own specificity of European Studies, justifying the statement that European Studies have achieved a high degree of identity.

Film Studies

Studia Filmoznawcze

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

"Studia Filmoznawcze" ("Film Studies") is an interdisciplinary scientific journal focused on film art in three aspects: historical, theoretical (philosophical, anthropological and sociological) and critical. We publish articles and reviews of well-known researchers and young critics who are interested in the film culture as widely understood as possible. Each issue has the character of a monographic volume and is reviewed by leading specialists in a given field of research. In recent years, we have published volumes about Asian cinema, melodrama, adaptation, noir cinema, and Bollywood. The interdisciplinary formula of the journal makes "Studia Filmoznawcze" ("Film Studies") a unique testimony to the development of Polish film thought in various areas of scientific reflection: film history, cultural theory and visual anthropology.

The Cultural Studies

Prace Kulturoznawcze

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

Published since 1987, "Prace Kulturoznawcze" is the oldest cultural studies journal in Poland. It was founded under the auspices of the first Polish cultural studies institute at the University of Wrocław. In 2016 "Prace Kulturoznawcze" became a quarterly. Since its inception, the journal has offered a unique overview of both recent and past developments in Polish cultural studies, thus contributing to the research domain’s growth and opening up critical discussions on its latest concepts. This is related to the unique approach adopted by the Wrocław institute, namely the value-oriented concept of culture. This concept ensures academic integrity and consistency across individual volumes. The choice of themes for subsequent volumes is based on a diagnosis and projection of the current cultural situation. The latest issues of "Prace Kulturoznawcze" cover such topics as non-human culture, participation and community, food studies, post-secularism, climate change, cultural criticism, plant studies, and television studies. By inviting authors who represent various theoretical perspectives and international academic communities, the editors ensure that the papers highlight the axiological aspects of the topics being discussed. This kind of focus distinguishes "Prace Kulturoznawcze" from many other, not only Polish, periodicals devoted to culture and its theory. 

Studies of Fascism and Nazi Crimes

Studia nad Autorytaryzmem i Totalitaryzmem

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

The journal Studia nad Faszyzmem i Zbrodniami Hitlerowskimi (Studies of Fascism and Nazi Crimes) was founded in 1974 on the initiative of Prof. Karol Jonca, who died in 2008. Since the collapse of the communist regime – in addition to examining totalitarian (communist, Nazi and fascist) crimes in historical terms and analysed from the point of view of law – the periodical has been examining the phenomena of fascism, communism and Nazism with regard to the doctrine, political science, ideology, sociology, psychology, religious studies and economics. The overriding idea is the assumption that reaching the essence of these doctrines and understanding the mechanisms that led to the Holocaust or, speaking more broadly, genocide – an event on an unprecedented scale in history – require in-depth studies into the transformations in the world of ideas and political systems in Western civilisation at the turn of the 20th century. This is mainly about questions like the rise of scientific racism, social Darwinism, scientific communism, nationalism, social democracy or anti-Semitism, about the growth of international and public law institutions, about the emergence of new political mechanisms like plebiscite-based dictatorship, authoritarianism and totalitarianism, and, finally, about processes associated with transformations in religion and worldviews as well as emergence of mass society. Thus the journal is interdisciplinary in nature and is addressed to a broad spectrum of representatives of the humanities and social sciences who refer to totalitarianism and authoritarianism in their research. The journal features scholarly papers, reviews, discussions of documents and reports.

Mountains-Literature-Culture

Góry-Literatura-Kultura

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

The journal “Mountains-Literature-Culture” has been appearing since 1996. It is a humanities journal which presents the results of research on the cultural role of the mountains, as well as showing the ways in which an interest in the mountains and matters related to them find manifestation in Polish and world literature and art. The aim of the journal is to support the integrated studies of various aspects of the mountains as cultural sites. The journal has been founded as a response to an ever more clearly recognized need to humanize broadly understood ecological thought and various ecological issues. This compels the authors whose texts are published in the journal to transcend the strictures of particular scientific disciplines and to engage in interdisciplinary discourse.

The studies devoted to the mountains issues open up a broader perspective on the problems of the philosophy of nature, nature aesthetics, cultural anthropology, literary history and the history of art. Works which belong to this vast interdisciplinary thematic field are expected to provide a fresh look at multiple aspects of the culture-building role of the mountains and offer a new angle at changing attitudes towards these sites. In particular, new light should be cast on the works arising from a direct contact with the mountains, regarded as both natural and cultural phenomena. Therefore the goal and ambition of the authors of the texts that have been published in the journal so far has been to demonstrate an inspiring effect of the mountains, interpreted as a great universal value, on creative imagination in different cultural circumstances, as well as showing philosophical, artistic and social consequences of this influence. This policy will be continued in the volumes to follow. Due to the multifaceted character and the broad scope of the mountains themes, all subsequent volumes will be published as monographs.
