Annals of Arts

The periodical Annals of Arts has been coming out under the publishing auspices of the Scientific Society of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and the Faculty of Humanities at the same institution since 1949. Annals of Arts consists of eight fascicles, which are: 1 – Polish Literature; 2 – History; 3 – Classical Philology; 4 – History of Art; 5 – Modern Languages; 6 – Linguistics; 7 – Slavonic Studies; 8 – Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies. Thus, the periodical represents all branches of research conducted at the Faculty. The articles selected for publication have always been of the highest quality. Issues explored in the fascicles are very diverse and encompass studies on Polish literature, history, history of art as well as modern linguistics. The studies on linguistics are particularly valuable since they are carried out by a wide group of scholars representing all Departments of foreign languages. Both the classical studies as well as the studies on Celtic languages also deserve recognition. The academic research on literary studies is devoted to European as well as world literature in languages such as English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Belarusian, German, Ukrainian, Welsh and Irish. The studies on history encompass all historical epochs from the ancient cultures of the Middle East to the modern history of Poland and Europe. Analogously, the studies on the fine arts also investigate a wide range of issues: the early Christian art, European Middle Ages as well contemporary trends in figurative, abstract and conceptual art. The first fascicle of Annals of Arts, Polish Literature, is a particularly significant component of the periodical since it acts as a forum for exchanging ideas about the heritage and the contemporary status of Polish literature. Apart from the articles exploring 16th-18th century written works, Polish Literature also contains articles presenting innovative suggestions concerning the analysis of Polish literature and culture. Since 2011, Annals of Arts has been enriched by a new, interdisciplinary fascicle 8 devoted to corpus linguistics and translation studies. What is more, Annals of Arts offers a survey of academic events and reviews of the most recent publications from all branches of the humanities. Fascicle are thematically oriented and thus often take the shape of a monograph on a selected issue.
