HISTORY

The journal emerged from the discussions about the directions in comparative literature, cultural studies and critical theory after the fall of the Iron Curtain. An important predecessor was the Časopis pro moderní filologii (Journal for Modern Philology), a major publication venue of the Prague Structuralist School (Prague Linguistic Circle) in the 1920s and 1930s. The principal aim of the new journal has been to establish and develop links between the legacy of Prague Structuralism and current poststructuralist trends.

The first issue, “The Variety of Historicisms”, was published in cooperation with scholars from the University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI) at Irvine and the University of California at Berkeley. A full list of topics discussed in the 25+ years of the journal’s existence is available under the ARCHIVE tab above.

Our distinguished contributors have included Neil Ascherson, Aleida Assmann, Susan Bassnett, Sacvan Bercovitch, Christoph Bode, Rui Carvalho Homem, Natalie Zemon Davis, Augusto de Campos, David Duff, S.E. Gontarski, Stephen Greenblatt, Nicholas Grene, Ton Hoenselaars, Steve McCaffery, Jerome McGann, Tom Nairn, Michael Neill, Marjorie Perloff, Murray Pittock, Marc Porée, Annie Proulx, Alain Vaillant, Nathalie Vienne-Guerrin, and Timothy Webb.
