Book pre-sale Błękitny fin de siècle
A pre-sale is underway for the most beautiful academic book of this spring – Błękitny fin de siècle. Kolor niebieski w kulturze i literaturze Młodej Polski (Gabriela Zapolska – Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer – Stanisław Wyspiański) by prof. Justyna Bajda, Institute of Polish Studies, University of Wrocław. We recommend this monograph, in which elegance, eroticism, art and literature merge into a colourful mosaic. The book is an extraordinary meeting with people who found inspiration, artistic expression and the manifesto of their epoch in blue, and a story about a world that – it seems – could not exist without blue.
All those who purchase the book will receive their copy before the launch!

New in the e-monograph series for free download
The latest book by Professor Marek Szydło from the Institute of Administrative Sciences – Sądowa kontrola decyzji organów regulacyjnych poprzez ich uchylanie is now available for free download in the online bookstore – HERE. The author’s considerations mainly concern the peculiar form of court decisions, which are judgments overruling decisions of regulatory bodies. The work shows that a verdict of a common court overturning a decision of a regulatory authority is a substantive decision, but it does not have a cassation character and it does not send the case back for re-settlement by the regulatory authority. The publication was prepared as part of a research project financed by the National Science Centre.
Working in Publishing – we are looking for a publisher and lead editors
The University of Wrocław Press, due to a major reorganisation and new challenges, is looking for a publisher/product manager for books and scientific journals and experienced editors for scientific journals and monographs to join its team. Please visit the website to read details about these job vacancies: https://wuwr.eu/kariera/. We invite you to apply!
New issue of the journal Praktyka Teoretyczna
The latest issue of Praktyka Teoretyczna (https://wuwr.pl/prt/issue/view/988), dedicated to the political dimension of art/literature autonomy, has been published on the Czasopisma Naukowe w Sieci platform, particularly in the context of recent academic debates around the topic.The immediate basis of the issue is the “intentionalist” account of autonomy – developed in recent years by authors such as Walter Benn Michaels and Nicholas Brown – and the idea of a “social ontology” of art/literature.
We encourage you to use the open-access journals platform and to go to the publisher’s online bookshop for paper editions.
