Ekonomia – Wroclaw Economic Review

Ekonomia – Wroclaw Economic Review

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.

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.

Fabrica Societatis

Fabrica Societatis

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

The title of the journal defines in its profile. We propose to translate it as “factories of society.” Although the Latin term – to simplify its pronunciation – is written in the singular, we are well aware that social life is created in more than one “factory.” Although there are many of them, they have at least one thing in common. Exploring them is above all an examination of everyday life, which very often forces us to move away from significant social creations to the “cellular,” most basic and micro level.

Descriptions of practices of everyday life, preoccupation with the experience of everyday life, and the conviction that the basic processes and structures of social life are contained not only and not primarily in the important phenomena of the public sphere, but in the conventions that build everyday interpersonal relations, are associated above all with the sociology of everyday life. By insisting on a scientific interest in the banality of the practical world and preferring a model of sociology that values the somatic more than the conscious, we place the journal's profile within this sub-discipline.

The study of the sociology of everyday life includes a vast array of topics that deal with human activity and the practical competencies involved in the production of human relationships and the invocation of meaning. In the social sciences there is an increasing number of works devoted to everyday human existence. Everyday life and everydayness are thus an interesting object of study and an interdisciplinary category of analysis.

The primary goal of the journal is to bring together inquiry that undertakes theoretical, methodological, and empirical efforts to conceptualize the forces that produce and shape various manifestations of social life in everyday endeavors, as well as to appreciate the importance of the delicate threads that bind people together and the uniqueness of their experience, proposing to go beyond ready-made social clichés, changing perspectives in ways that bring out what has hitherto been in the shadows or remained merely background.

Quart

Quart

Frequency: 4 issues / Country: Poland

“Quart” is a regularly published academic journal of the Univeristy of Wrocław Institute of Art History. The journal is published in the months of March, June, September and December. Each research paper is subjected to a review process in accordance with the double blind review principle.

“Quart¨” publishes papers from the entire scope of art history, from prehistoric art to the latest phenomena. We strive to ensure that the texts we print represent different methodologies, including the latest ones. During the first 10 years of its existence, the quarterly published primarily papers of Polish authors. At present, articles in English are also welcomed.

“Quart” was established in 2006 with the intention of enabling the printing of scholarly works by members of the Wroclaw art historian community and, in time, also by researchers from other academic centres. The originator and founder of the journal was Professor Waldemar Okoń. The unhurried mode of publication of academic journals in Poland prompted the founding of a new periodical that would adapt the timing of texts to the increased rhythm of their appearance and the rapidly expanding circle of researchers. “Quart” soon proved the need for a new publication forum and, through the full regularity of its appearance, became an attractive print outlet for specialists from all over Poland. For several years, the journal has also expanded the circle of authors to include those from outside our country.
