期刊介绍:
The journal “Colloquia Humanistica” was founded as an interdisciplinary annual forum for discussion between researchers, who represent the different fields of the humanities. Each issue provides a main theme, presented from diverse perspectives. Thanks to this we are trying to get the most complete picture of the subject matter because we are aware of the value of cooperation between representatives of the various disciplines of humanity. Therefore, we devote a lot of attention to the consistency of the texts entrusting the editorial duties to scholars of high standing. Every main theme is inspired by the cultural studies with a special attention to issues previously marginalized or dominated by any ideological influence. In focus are topics most often overlooked by official cultural and national narratives, uncomfortable for them, or treated instrumentally. So far, we suggested topics such as the question of continuity and discontinuity in the culture (first issue), the so called minor languages, minor literatures, minor cultures (second issue), multiple biographies (third issue). We invite cooperation and contributions from scholars representing cultural studies, linguists, historians, ethnologists, philosophers, and others, as it is not a complete list of disciplines represented in the journal.
