“Konteksty” have been published continuously since 1947, as a quarterly journal anchored at the Art Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It has an interdisciplinary character, covering a range of issues between folklore and avant-garde art, between aesthetics and anthropology and knowledge of literature, theater, art, popular and mass culture. The journal is addressed to researchers, students and a wide range of readers interested in contemporary humanities. Despite its high intellectual level, it is accessible to a wide range of readers who want to deepen their knowledge related to culture and the mechanisms of its functioning – we want to introduce the most outstanding trends in modern humanities, trace images that show the diversity of modern culture, show and bring closer the sources and traditions of phenomena that are well-known and troubling modern communities.
