Художественная культура

Aims & Scope

The journal gives priority to analytical methods of studying art, to the novelty of research, to the originality of results, to the evidence-based author’s concept, and to the literary presentation of the text. Preference is given to scientific articles that discuss new subject matters or suggest new approaches to acknowledged problem’s field. The journal encourages authors to rely on previously unknown or understudied but reputable sources, to mark the place of their research in the existing scientific context, and to discuss ideas against the background of different scientific schools. The article should demonstrate the author’s awareness of the current state of the humanities in the context of the topics under study, as a rule, by means of including at least 5 academic sources from other countries published during the course of the last 5 years, close to the issue of the concrete article indexed. The title of the journal reflects a particular interest in the macro analysis of artistic processes, e.g. studying of the evolution of the art language, theoretical researches of artistic expression, the influence of art and culture to each other, the phenomena of synthesis, everyday aesthetics, and the interaction of the popular and the elite in art and culture. Additionally, the journal welcomes scientific publications devoted to the functioning of art institutions. Special attention is given to articles on the art of the Soviet era, that responds to the necessity of an in-depth analysis of the phenomena of the Soviet period, many of which were remained understudied, suppressed, or were not fully analyzed because of censorship and restrictions in science. Aspects of the communications theory and history, traditions and innovation, the role of cultural heritage for society, and the dynamics of interaction between popular and elite culture, between the artist and society are prioritized for the journal. However, it does not mean that the journal is not interested in detailing, studying the specifics of a particular work of art, its structure or interior meaning. The journal addresses with equal attention both generalizing articles and a narrow thematic focus, case studies. The journal editorial board is interested in original articles only. Multiple and repeated publications in the journal Art & Culture Studies are not permitted. Authors should promptly inform the editorial board about any previous publications of the submitted text (e.g. synopsis of a thesis, conference abstracts, etc.).
