Short Description

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.
