The most important subject of the deliberations pursued in the journal concerns constructions of childhood: their transformations (both in previous centuries and recent decades), the directions of this evolution and its dominant tendencies, and the cultural and social causes of changes in the perception and treatment of childhood and adolescence. Analyzes and interpretations presented in “Dzieciństwo. Literatura i Kultura” (“Childhood: Literature and Culture”) focus on visions of childhood in various texts of culture, ones addressed not only to children and young adults, but also to adults: both diverse literary genres and other cultural media (including the complex area of popular culture).

Studio Ghibli Films and Beyond
In 2015, when Studio Ghibli – founded by Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Toshio Suzuki – celebrated its 30th anniversary, Anthony Lioi aptly described it as “one of the most influential animation studios in the world,” attracting not only a devoted fanbase but also growing academic attention thanks to its “global reach, cinematic force, and thematic range,” including, among others, “the long-term effects of industrial waste (Nausicaä); the damage done by atomic bombs (Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro); the relationship of ecotopia and artificial intelligence (Castle in the Sky); the resistance of animals to habitat loss (Pom Poko); the destruction of forests by industry (Princess Mononoke); and the persistence of deep time in the present (Ponyo)” (p. 111).
