Acta Philologica

Aims & Scope

Acta Philologica has been a significant reference point in the field of Modern Languages. Established in 1968 at the Faculty of Philology (today the Faculty of Modern Languages at the University of Warsaw), the journal continues its mission to provide a forum for innovative debate and the dissemination of original research. Its profile is distinguished by an original, ethically committed academic approach, dedicated to fostering intercultural and international dialogue through a rigorous multilingual framework. By encouraging contributions in many languages, we actively stimulate rich debates and diverse perspectives, promoting intellectual connectivity and a truly global scholarly community. The journal focuses on literary and cultural studies within eight language areas: English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. It welcomes both comparative and single-language approaches and encourages research that highlights cross-cultural encounters, methodological diversity and theoretical innovation. Particular attention is given to work that explores literary theory, comparative and world literature, translation and intercultural communication, as well as cultural studies in the broad sense, including identity, memory, gender, diaspora, postcolonial and decolonial perspectives. The journal also remains attentive to emerging fields such as digital humanities, media and visual culture. Regular thematic dossiers address cutting-edge questions. Recent topics include Metamodernism, Figurations of Exclusion, Transculturalism and Translingualism, Intermediality, and Parody. Through these, the journal highlights its role as a space for inclusive, ethically responsible, and forward-looking scholarship. We welcome original high-quality articles that make a substantial contribution to the understanding of literatures and cultures.
