„Śląski Kwartalnik Historyczny Sobótka” in the WUWr!
„Śląski Kwartalnik Historyczny Sobótka” is a periodical that has been published since 1946, initially published as a semi-annual ‘Sobótka’ and since 1957 as a quarterly under its current title. Until 2018, the journal was published by the Wrocław History Lovers Society, the Wrocław branch of the Polish Historical Society, and later the publication of the journal was taken over by the University of Wrocław.
The journal is now published by the University of Wrocław Press, and you can look for current printed issues in the online bookshop (wuwr.eu). In addition, on the platform Scientific Journals on the Web hosted by WUWr, you can read the current issue and archive content in open access.
The quarterly is one of the oldest regional scientific periodicals with a historical profile in Poland and remains an important element of the humanities. It is considered to be one of the most important periodicals on Silesian studies, but the editors remain open to materials of a different thematic scope. Thus, the journal publishes primarily materials on research into the history of Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on Silesia. In addition, each issue has room for the so-called Universalia – studies and historical materials of a different, unrelated nature. The editorial team also assumes, what is in accordance with the long and glorious tradition of ‘Sobótka’, the publication of thematic and anniversary issues, devoted to important events, but also honouring people connected with the Wrocław scientific community.
You are warmly invited to submit your texts.
You can buy the current issue here: Silesian Historical Quarterly Sobótka Yearbook LXXIX (2024) No. 2 | Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego (wuwr.eu)

New look of ‘Studia Filmoznawcze’
WUWr’s recently published cover mystery has been solved, and the latest issue of the journal ‘Studia Filmoznawcze’ in its new format is now available to read: Studia Filmoznawcze(wuwr.pl). As part of the completed project, completely new typographic guidelines were developed, which fit in with the current visual identity of the publication. The main graphic elements are radiant lines, inspired by the shape of light coming out of a film projector!
The texts collected in the 45th volume focus on the notions of periphery and peripherality, pursuing the demand to extend reflection on cinema beyond the central, canonical and mainstream. The category of peripherality is understood multifaceted: geographically, socially, economically, institutionally, aesthetically, culturally and discursively. The issue therefore includes texts devoted not only to cinema made and watched on the periphery, but also to productions outside the historical canon and to rarely addressed problems of film theory.
The printed version will soon be available in the publisher’s bookshop.
