Aims and scope

"Zeszyty Łużyckie" ("Sorbian Papers"), established in 1991, is an academic journal publishing scholarly articles devoted to the study of minorities sensu largo. The journal's scope encompasses both institutionally recognised minorities, commonly regarded as "traditional" (i.e. national, ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities), and communities whose minority status is subject to ongoing processes of (re)constitution and redefinition (as is often the case with social, cultural, political, and other minorities).

The thematic concept of each issue seeks to define minorities both as an analytical category and in their concrete manifestations by examining them within specific cultural and historical contexts and analysing their relational and situational dimensions.

Reflecting this broad understanding of the category of minority, "Zeszyty Łużyckie" welcomes contributions from scholars in cultural studies, linguistics, literary studies, history, art history, religious studies, and other fields within the humanities and social sciences whose research interests correspond to the journal’s scope.

The journal welcomes submissions from researchers worldwide whose work explores minority issues in their diverse dimensions and contexts. Within the journal’s scope, no geographic limitations are imposed on the topics addressed. We publish in multiple languages.

In keeping with the journal’s long-standing tradition in Sorbian studies, "Zeszyty Łużyckie" maintains a permanent section, Sorabiana, devoted to Sorbian language, literature, culture, and related topics. Contributions to this section are accepted regardless of the thematic focus of individual volumes. The journal also features a Varia section for review articles, scholarly essays, and other contributions of scholarly relevance, including commemorative texts. 

 

All articles undergo external double-blind peer review, are indexed, and freely available without subscription or fees.
