Submitting author is required to sign a percentage of author’s work declaration (Publisher library), which should be attached as a separate file. In case of positive decision regarding article publication, please fill out publication agreement.

Article lenght: we accept texts which are no longer than 20-25 standard pages (about 45 000 -   50 000 s) together with an abstract of maximum 300 words in English. The article should be uploaded in two versions: anonymised (for review purposes) and full version according to formatting instructions.

Articles language: Polish or English

Articles should be uploaded via SUBMISSIONS in either a .doc, or .rtf (Reach Text Format) format.

Article structure:

We welcome ethnographic and anthropological articles based on original fieldwork, empirical analysis, and/or theoretical reflection. Submissions should present a coherent argument and be accessible to readers engaged in contemporary humanities and social science debates.

We suggest that articles include the following elements:

Introduction – a concise presentation of the research problem, context, and guiding questions that structure the narrative.

Fieldwork and Material – a brief description of the research setting, methods, and relations with participants. 

Theoretical background – an indication of the key concepts or scholarly conversations the article engages with. 

Empirical analysis – an organized presentation and interpretation of selected examples from the field: scenes, interviews, observations, or practices. 

Conclusion / Closing reflections – main insights or questions that emerge from the analysis, and a sense of what the article contributes to broader anthropological or social discussions.

This structure is a guideline, not a template — we are open to experimental or non-linear forms, provided the argument remains clear and the structure supports the presentation of the material.
