Studia Litteraria et Historica is an academic journal, designed as a platform of communication between ethnography, sociology, literary studies and history. The aim of the editors is to overcome divisions between scholars of these disciplines, and to help create a common language so as to be able to draw on each other’s research. The journal features analysis of public discourse (with an emphasis on academic discourse), politics of history and memory, production and reproduction of dominant ideologies, coexistence of minorities and majority of the society, complexity and diversity of domination mechanisms. Studia Litteraria et Historica offers also an insight into recent, ground-breaking work in the fields of art, literature, social science.The journal has been created with a view to strengthening connections between social theory and social practice. Due to the lack of that link, we find the quality of Polish public debate insufficient, lacking depth, provincial. Bridging this gap is the ambition of the journal’s creators, who thus follow the ideas of Jan Stanisław Bystroń, ethnographer, author of Megalomania narodowa [National Megalomania]. Studia Litteraria et Historica is a bilingual journal, publishing original texts in Polish (with their English translations) as well as English and German (with their Polish translations).
