! Due to the great interest in “free” issues, without a main topic, the Editorial Board has opened a Main Section, which means that in both issues per year there are published texts unrelated to the topics of the Issues, presenting current research results from disciplines of interest. Submissions are accepted on a continuous cycle — according to the order of submissions. Detailed information on text types can be found on the WWW.
Please send your submissions by email only! zrl@uni.lodz.pl

As a journal interested in literary genres (and more!), we publish related texts in the form of dictionary entries - the so-called “The Companion of the Literary Genres” materials.
Are you researching a literary genre? Or perhaps from the area of new media or art? Can you define it, describe the nuances and compile a bibliography of the topic? Write an entry for us!
Recent passwords from our journal are: ‘femslash’, ‘family saga’ and ‘biography of a city’.
For materials for “The Companion of the Literary Genres” we are waiting now!
